The American director's adaptation of Roald Dahl's excellent Fantastic Mr. Fox, opened over the weekend at the London Film Festival. The film opens in the U.S. on November 25. It's rated PG for "action, smoking, and slang humor," so I'll be voting to take Z straight to the theater. We'll read the book either before or after.



Nice to see new, playful work in stop-motion by a major director that has a different perspective than Henry Selick's trademark style. Stop-motion can look many different ways, and it's easy to forget that if there aren't enough active practitioners. - Jeremiah
