'Anderson's stop-motion Fantastic Mr. Fox is both a delightful amusement and a distillation of the filmmaker's essential playfulness. It's not quite tongue-in-cheek but very self-aware, in a good way. "Why yes," Anderson seems to be telling us. "I do like to play with dollhouses. And look what I can do with them. See the way Mr. Fox's fur stirs in the nonexistent breeze, isn't that marvelous?"' |

New York Times - A.O. Scott | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'So "Fantastic Mr. Fox," which Mr. Anderson wrote with Noah Baumbach, and which he has been hoping to make for many years, is in some ways his most fully realized and satisfying film.' |

Evening Standard - Andrew O'Hagan | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'The film is by no means flawless, but when you see the hand-made brilliance of its texture you might be convinced that this is a great year for serious, young-ish male film-makers who want to show you their soft furnishings ? the cosy stuff that lies about the house of their philosophy.' |
|
Little White Lies - Matt Bochenski | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'The film is a revelation. Anderson's best since The Royal Tenenbaums. By miles...Will renew your faith in an American original. The real Wes Anderson just stood up.' |
|
The Independent on Sunday - Nicholas Barber | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'once you accept Fantastic Mr Fox for what it is ? a Wes Anderson product ? it's an effervescent, silly, continually surprising treat' |
|
The Observer - Philip French | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'entertaining animated version of the Roald Dahl classic' |
|
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'utterly beguiling and entirely consistent with Anderson's quirky homespun aesthetic, his snappily offbeat dialogue and distinctive proscenium-style framing. In its cheerful anarchy and brutality it's very Dahlian - in spirit, anyway.' |
|
Empire - Ian Nathan | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Genuinely original: a silly, hilarious and oddly profound adaptation for adult-sized children' |
|
The Sun - The Sneak | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'one of the best animated movies from a vintage year' |
|
The Independent - Kevin Maher | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'brilliant return to proper cartooning for all the family' |
