Mr. Fox's Fantastic Sets
Chemistry Lab
Another Ash/Kristofferson showdown takes place in the kind of chemistry lab that wouldn't have been out of place at the Rushmore Academy (give or take the odd bit of foliage). According to Lowry, the cousins' sibling rivalry took shape late in the day. "When Wes started developing this storyline, it was such a strong dynamic that he wrote more scenes and this one was added." Fittingly, the stop-motion techniques used to bring them to life were inspired in part by The Tale Of The Fox, a 1930 feature from Russian animator Wladyslaw Starewicz that used stuffed foxes to give it a unique life-like motion. "We looked at that to remind ourselves where we should be heading," says Fantastic Mr. Fox's Head Puppeteer Andy Gent. "It had what we wanted to capture in the movement and skins of the models."
