Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) More at IMDbPro »

By Sheri Linden

The title character of Wes Anderson's first animated feature is a cad, a rogue, an incorrigible thief. He's also a family man, struggling to do right on the marital and child-rearing fronts. Voiced by George Clooney, he's no small part Danny Ocean. If "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is an eye-popping, kid-friendly adaptation of Roald Dahl's attitude-packed 1970 book, it's at least as much a film for adults.

The screenplay sometimes overdoes the winking asides, and the film doesn't so much flow as jump from one set piece to the next.
