Fantastic Mr Fox

I’ve been to see Fantastic Mr Fox and I have to say I loved it to bits – every single moment of it. George Clooney’s brilliant as Mr Fox but Jason Schwartzman is just genius as his petulant son, Ash. The script and the set design and the animation and its message (being different is ‘kind of fantastic, don’t you think?’) are all superb, and it made me want to go back and read all the Roald Dahl books of my childhood. Wes Anderson, I salute you.

It’s cute and quirky and hilarious as hell – if only all films for children could be this clever.
