Genuinely original: a silly, hilarious and oddly profound adaptation for adult-sized children.

New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein
Endlessly enchanting.

It’s unfortunate that the result is so unaffecting, especially in light of all the things the director does right.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
With its virtuoso tomfoolery, Fantastic Mr. Fox is like a homegrown Wallace and Gromit caper. To Wes Anderson: More, please!

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers
An adventure in pure imagination that plays to the smart kid in all of us.

The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
Anderson has created a world as stylized and inventive as anything he's done... "Fox" is a visual delight.

Anderson has pulled off the most elusive of goals: He's made a nonchalant masterpiece, a movie that feels dog-eared and loved before it's even reached our hands.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson
This is no more a kids’ movie for kids than "Where The Wild Things Are"; it’s a film strictly for Wes Anderson fans of all ages. By now, they should know who they are.

The film's style, paradoxically both precious and rough-hewn, positions this as the season's defiantly anti-CGI toon, and its retro charms will likely appeal more strongly to grown-ups than to moppets; it's a picture for people who would rather drive a 1953 Jaguar XK 120 than a new one.
The perfect film to watch in autumn! Like so many others, I have adored this film since it came out, and its popularity is a testament to its brilliant direction, vocal performances, and craftmanship.
