I must recommend everyone see Fantastic Mr. Fox. Sadly looked over, this was a joy to watch on the big screen. So hurry, ’cause it might still be in your local theatre, maybe even in your “dollar” theatre. It’s based on a Roald Dahl tale which I’ve never heard of, much less read. Which makes the story interesting because it’s not one about children getting one over on adults, which is a common Dahl plot. Instead, it tells us about a community, and a family, that comes together to preserve itself against all odds. Wes Anderson directed it, and it does have his timing which I think can be unsettling for some. But still, go see it.
The kids and I loved this movie. I was bummed that it didn’t get more attention, we went and saw it when it first came out and I am so glad we did.
Fantastic Mr Fox is a favourite of Eowyn and Coco’s!
See you in 2 months Monica!
