ANTI Reviews
|
| | | The film not only left me completely cold but started to seriously annoy me towards the end... None of the sub-plots was sufficiently developed nor particularly convincing. The supposed initial happy love story between Mr & Mrs Fox did not come across on screen, nor did the conflict that arose following his breach of his promise. The conversations between the two appeared haphazard and neither witty nor deep. Similarly, it is unclear how “uber-foxian” Mr. Fox feels about his underachieving son: he only shows some positive emotion following a completely unexplained mega-performance during the final rescue mission. And the list goes on. Secondly, I also found the film “technologically” disappointing: the voices didn’t seem to properly match the movements of the animated figures and the detail in the graphics has been done better elsewhere. | | | (Roman Hederer, Bina007 Reviews) | | | Juxtaposing the book's slapstick scenes with Anderson's sophisticated dialogue jars, the childish and adult humour making strange bedfellows. The result is a tone that veers wildly all over the place, resulting in a somewhat bumpy ride throughout. Worse still is the film's unusual brand of stop-motion animation. At times it throws up moments of real charm and originality, like a marvellous diving sequence early on and a pair of exhilarating point-of-view chases towards the film's conclusion. But the jerky movement of the animals themselves is somewhat disturbing, and when they bare their teeth - even if just to smile - it's the stuff of nightmares. The result is a film that's often painful to watch. | | | (Chris Tilly, IGN UK) | | | Honestly, this really isn't some kind of Transatlantic stand-off on our part. But how much longer are we expected to stand impotently by while Hollywood arrogantly Americanises our every British children's icon? | | | (Ali Catterall, Channel 4) | | | Youngsters at last week’s London Film Festival screening, while happily imitating Mr Fox’s trademark clicks and whistles, seemed baffled by a raft of drolleries off-limits to all but the most precocious of New Yorkers... Is Anderson once again merely pleasuring himself? | | | (Mike McCahill, Sunday Telegraph) | | | It does leave you thinking: isn’t it time that children’s films put children first? | | | (Cosmo Landesman, Sunday Times) |
