New Fantastic Mr. Fox Character Banners

While it took a while to adjust to Wes Anderson's homemade style animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox has dug its way into our hearts and sits near the top of our October wish list.

Here's a fresh batch of character posters to splash some (slightly psychedelic) colour into your Friday, showing Mr and Mrs Fox and their managerie of animal activists. We particularly like the one of the Jason Schwartzman-voiced Ash, bringing the Nacho Libre.

All the buzz suggests that Anderson has brought the story to life in his inimitable enchanting-yet-idiosyncratic style and should provide a fitting end to a good year for stop-motion. After all, even Morph never got to open the London Film Festival.


Fantastic Mr. Fox is out on October 23.

Looks Fantastic!
The book was one of my favourites as a boy, and the announcment of the film adaptation caught my interests. Having seen the trailer, I am really looking forward to this one! And I cannot stop whistle-n-clicking now! (",) ... Read More

It's Completely unknown
It's Completely unknown whether this movie is going to be good or not. It's directed by Wes Anderson, who is a great director, but he mostly directs comedy dramas. I'm not sure he could do a good job of directing an animated movie. It's based on a book by Roald Dahl, so it's bound to be a good movie, because Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was brilliant. But the trailer for this movie doesn't look great, even tough it has loads of famous actors. I Guess you'll have to watch to find o... Read More

Re: New Fantastic Mr. Fox Character Banners
I loved the animation style of this from the get-go. It's great to see something this different on such a high profile release. The animation is beautiful, with just the right amount of quirk, so much detail and humour throughout. I hope the whole film carries that tone. Interesting that so much props are given in the article to Anderson, when it was Empire's own (very candid, very interesting) interview with the film's animators which seemed to suggest that Anderson was directing via email a... Read More
