Fantastic Mr. Fox: My Favorite Movie

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is such a great movie because not only is it visually beautiful, comedically witty, and full of charm, but it also managed to take the “main character grows tired of Their mundane existence and wants *more* ™️” storyline we’ve seen in every mainstream animated film ever, and subvert it! Giving us a profound message about how sometimes it’s ok to admit defeat, and accept ourselves for who we are, not the unrealistic image of who we think we should be.

The Canis Lupus scene has always been an enigma to me. What I believe is that Mr Fox doesn’t fear Wolves, but what they represent. Wolves are nothing but pure, unfiltered, undomesticated wild. Although admires Wolves, and the true freedom that they have, he fears pure wild, just as he fears pure domestication, as he is seemingly the middle of the two sides. Throughout the film, he seemingly begins to think of himself as pure wild, calling himself a “wild animal” at many points, using it as a way to excuse the reason why he stole from the farmers and endangered his family. He believes it’s his instinct, which doesn’t allow him to live like his wife, child or nephew. However, once he meets the wolf, the seemingly pinnacle for what a truly wild animal is, he learns that he is nothing like it. The wolf walks on all fours, doesn’t wear clothes, live in a furnished house or speak any humanly languages is truly a representation of the wild, something that Mr Fox is not.

I read the wolf scene as the moment when he accepted that he was NOT a wild animal. He, dressed in clothes, on a motorbike, speaking a language, sees the true embodiment of the wild quality that he had idolized and the difference between himself and the wolf were plain to see. He lets the "wild" go and accepts reality.

I just watched this movie again recently, and I understood it on a COMPLETELY different level than when I had seen it the first time. He's struggling with an addiction for better or worse, he's overly self-confident, and he deals with the ramifications of his own mistakes at the end. The wolf scene I feel is about self-acceptance. Wolves are and will always be wild animals, and I guess Mr. Fox respects that.

[@w.reidripley1968]

It's easy to miss, but Mr. Fox gets slightly misty eyed right about "What a beautiful creature." Something is happening to him that he hasn't quite processed.

Bojack Horseman clearly took much inspiration from Fantastic Mr. Fox, using anthropomorphic animals and being creative with animation, while simultaneously creating very human and flawed characters with deep desires and personalities.

Interestingly,Ebert said a similar thing about this movie in his review: "Children, especially, will find things they don't understand, and things that scare them. Excellent.

hey, thanks for this video. fantastic mr fox is my favorite movie too, to the point where friends and i have viewing parties all the time for it and a buddy and i recently started a fan podcast based around it, when i'd tell people about this id get some weird looks lol. this video though helps to articulate why the movie was so good and important (especially the wolf scene) which is something that for a long time was really tough for me to explain. im gonna paste a comment i made on a nerdwriter1 video now that's relevant. anyway again, great video Liam C 4 months ago my favorite is fantastic mr fox which i think is overlooked a lot.... like, people love it for its animation and yeah it's absolutely incredible and i love it bunches too but i think it has a lot more character and narrative meat on its bones than most people think. i mean, when you break it down, the whole movie has these recurring themes of an identity crisis. foxy "used to steal birds, but now [he's] a newspaper man," ash is ✋️different 🤚and sees himself as an athlete despite no one agreeing with him, and while kristofferson is "a natural" all the stuff that comes naturally to him isn't what he necessarily wants, as shown by his constant shrugs and even how the color palette of the film makes his blue and grey design seem out of place in a world of yellow, brown, and orange. kylie wants to be special and have a trademark, felicity wants to live a quiet and safe life with her family even though she was once "the town tart," rat considered himself a security agent when he was really "just another dead rat in a garbage pail outside a chinese restaurant." all the characters, animals who thrive in fields and forests and trees, are forced to live in a sewer system. every character in the film has an image of themselves that they have a hard time truly being. when i first saw the film, i was just coming into the age where you start to develop a self image and discover what sort of person you want to be. and of course i originally just loved the movie because i wanted to become an animator and it was funny and whatever, but what i couldn't articulate then was how closely i could relate to the struggles of the characters. the incredible thing though is that the movie doesn't just portray these identity struggles, but it allows all the characters to grow and accept their identities. fox starts a new newspaper column at the end and admits that hess a wild animal. ash proves himself an athlete, gets the bandit hat with the stars on it, but is still ✋️different🤚 enough that he's the only one drinking a grape juice box at the end (but he's ok with it). kristofferson is accepted for doing what he enjoys because he enjoys it, not just because he's good at it, and gets to share that enjoyment with others when it shows him, ash, and agnes all meditating together. kylie gets a trademark, felicity is excited about having a kid, etc etc etc. fox's arc can be shown in that awesome scene with the wolf that when i first saw the movie though was just a goofy little non sequitur but is actually a culmination of how mr fox has been warring with the wild animal side of his identity (his phobia of wolves) the whole time. but in the end they have a moment of understanding, similar to fox's new self awareness i guess. and then again these themes are reinforced in the last toast he gives in the supermarket where he calls everyone "the five and a half most wonderful wild animals i've ever met." not only that though, during the toast he constantly makes reference to things that either seem false, like they are pretending to be something they're not ("synthetic goose... artificial squab... even these apples look fake"), or things that are/are going to be undergoing a state of change ("now my tail is fully detachable... our tree may never grow back, but one day something will"). and despite all this, he says "we'll eat tonight, we'll eat together... so let's raise our boxes to our survival." the movie states that no matter what happens, no matter what sort of changes a person faces, or how hard they try to be something they aren't, they can survive and grow. and i think THAT message is why fantastic mr fox has stuck with me for so long. a lot of coming of age stories i loved when i first got full of that Classic Teenage Angst ™ i don't really enjoy as much, because angst or identity crises are interesting on their own only so far. but fantastic mr fox shows this kind of theme so universally, from middle aged characters to teens to APPLES for cuss' sake! and then it arcs in such a way that it ends with a message of hope, a "you're gonna get through this" kind of thing without being patronizing, and that's what kept me coming back to it throughout my adolescence and into my young adulthood. and also why i think it's wes anderson's best film, and my (edit here) favorite movie of all time. ((also its animation is so gorgeous and it's writing is so funny and acting is good too and blah blah blah blah lol))

Wow. I had my own thoughts on the Canis Lupus scene. I think that instead of him being scared to face defeat i think he is scared to face himself. He has tried to become something different for his entire life and separate himself from being a wild animal. He was this champion whack bat player, he became a journalist (someone who is different because all their opinions and ideas are always in the public eye), he has a catch phrase. I think that this scene shows him finally realizing that it’s okay to be yourself and embrace your inner wild animal.

I love the fall aesthetic because it reminds me of where I grew up, I love the calm, nonchalant tone the movie adopts, I love the story, the emotional beats, the characters, everything. Fantastic Mr. Fox simultaneously makes me feel nostalgic, long for when I'm the father of my own family, and evaluate who I am right now and if I'm balancing being true to myself while supporting those around me in a healthy way. This movie is a masterpiece and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.

I live in San Diego, California, and first watched this movie with my parents at the Gaslamp theater on its opening premier when I was 7 or 8 years old. At a time when my 2nd grade teacher Miss Karen read us Roald Dahl books. I've collected his novels and think Mr. Wes Anderson can pull his stories off well like no one else has before. He knows how to craft a comedy with talking animals with similar humor to the show The Office. I admire him for that.

It's 2:17am and I was about to go to sleep but Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favourite films so...

I watched this video 2 years ago and it planted the idea of this movie being something special. Today, I watched this video, and it gave me the same idea, but this time, I spontaneously started crying. This video has the highest rewatchable value I've encountered on this site.

I loved the book. I have never actually seen the movie but it looks fantastic.[mr.fox]

[@cosmiccadet6775]

Dolly it's totally worth the watch, especially since thanksgiving is coming up and the movie's atmosphere just oozes that fall vibe

[@Anna-ug8cq]

CallMeFrankT. Fight me mate. That was my favourite childhood book. And first proper novel I ever read 😂

[@elchapo17701]

This is an incredible video deconstructing a movie ive always had such a strong connection with!!! Thank you so much!

[@annotated4769]

Tbh, this movie, was also the best ive ever seen other than the Iron Giant

[@vonbar8537]

I’m not the only one, I have been rewatching some of my favourite ever movies and this makes just so much sense and just want to say thank you as I haven’t really been able to figure out why this movie means so much to me and even though you probably aren’t even gonna read this thank you

He's teaching us not to coddle kids cause life uncoddles them and it's violent and messy. & he's teaching kids about the real world and that failure is not failure. Not trying is failure. Rip that bandaid off Wes. Can't wait for Isle of Dogs

I have loved movies ever since I was a child, and the spark for my love to story telling and especially story telling through movies also was Mr. Fantastic Fox. But I don't think I realized that until this video, I've also said this to be one of my favorite movies and it has always stuck out in my mind and had a huge impact on my life but I never understood why. This video has helped me grab a better understanding of the movie and also introduced me to you, Karsten, and your channel. I love your videos and what you do and can relate to a lot of your opinions. Thank you, and keep up the good work my guy.

Me: commented 2019 Everyone: a year ago ;-; - it’s been 7 years since I’ve heard of this movie 6 years old me not understanding what it means cause i never looked back at this movie :/

[@zanderwrd7745]

I’ve watched this movie 12 times in the past week and I’m gonna watch it one hundred times more, it’s easy a childhood favourite and is still my favourite at the age of 12 now,

[@jacktee4030]

i need to watch this again...

[@ghost.2527]

Honestly, Fantastic Mr. Fox to me brought a more nostalgic feeling. It felt like I was a kid again and reliving going to (this is probably not everyone hell only me) Ikea with my dad to get some stuff because of the aesthetic.

This feels more like you are doing a book report then you are actually passionate about this movie. I think it's the way you spoke , it felt like you were just reading the script like you would do in front of a class.

[@harleyrobinson2538]

I remember a night I spent with my brother as a kid we watched this movie 3 times on repeat it’s such a great film

[@1hotwelds]

This film was not for kids in any way.

[@isaacroach6255]

thank you for making this. i thought i was the only one who appreciated this masterpiece but im glad there are others out there as well. after seeing it over 20 times its still as fresh as ever each time.

[@dan13755]

Do you have to put "video essay" in every single video?

[@CrippleJr]

I watched this movie when I was younger. I don't remember much of it but I remember liking it a lot! I'll have to watch it again.
