    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Writer, producer, and director Wes Anderson chose to have the actors and actresses record their dialogue outside of a studio and on-location to increase the naturalness: "We went out in a forest, went in an attic, went in a stable, we went underground for some things. There was a great spontaneity in the recordings because of that."
    • Goofs
      When Mr. Fox looks out the tree's window and notices the distant Boggis, Bunce and Bean farms for the first time, they are lined up in that order left-to-right on hilltops. But when he later shows a map of the farms to Kiley, the Boggis farm is clearly situated between Bean and Bunce.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Fox: [to Ash] We're all different.

      [indicates Mr. Fox]

      Mrs. Fox: Especially him. But there's something kind of fantastic about that, isn't there?

    • Crazy credits
      The film title appears on a library book, homaging the film as a novel adaptation.

    Charming but underwhelming

    I can't believe I'm going against the grain on this. It's not a terrible film, in fact it's absolutely charming to look at, but when the gorgeous visuals and aesthetic are taken away, I'm left with a pretty muddy narrative and flat characterization.
