FANTASTIC!



THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX
Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were nonetheless equally mean.
 
This is for those who have yet to see this great stop-action animated film. Well what are you waiting for?! Hurry up! It's one of those rad for all ages type flicks. I've seen this movie maybe 3 times now? And well, I think it's pretty fucking awesome. So here's a little post just because it just played on my HBO.



Everything about this movie is fantastic. From the simplicity of a great children's book (Roald Dahl) to top of the line animation (thank god people still actually make shit with their hands), celebrity voice casts, character development, a great soundtrack & crisp production (Wes Anderson), this movie is pretty much flawless.



But most of all, it stays true to what it is, no preservatives added. Too bad it had to drop the same time as Twilight. For a vampire craze, you can see who all the "suckers" really were. ANYHOW! Smart, simple, and fun: The Fantastic Mr. Fox is Creep Street fucking approved!

there's simply more beauty in hands-on work than it being filled with CGI. you can really appreciate this movie in so many directions
