Check out the newest trailer for The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson's
first foray into stop motion animated film. The movie features voice
work by George Clooney, Bill Murray, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson and
live action acting by Willem Dafoe who plays a rat. Okay I made that
last part up but seriously, I think you could sub him in and kids
wouldn't notice.
I'm excited about the prospect of indie directors, who have found the recent recession putting a squeeze on their creative endeavors, taking their set of particular skills to mainstream children fare. Tim Burton has obviously already put his touch on Alice in Wonderland, and Spike Jonze is putting his spin on Where the Wild Things Are, so I'm curious to see if Anderson can make Fantastic Mr. Fox as good and as promising as these trailers seem.
