Fantastic Mr. Fox on DVD and Giveaway!*

Fantastic Mr. Fox is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack (Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital Copy)from Twentieth Century Fox on March 23! Be the first to get a DVD of it by winning a copy from this blog!!!

Home Entertainment Academy Award-winning Hollywood heavyweights George Clooney (Up In The Air) and Meryl Streep (It’s Complicated) lend their voices to the hilarious, heartwarming and dazzling stop-motion animated adventure from visionary director Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenebaums) Fantastic Mr. Fox.  In the re-imagined classic family tale, Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep) live a happy home life with their eccentric son Ash (Jason Schwartzman: The Darjeeling Limited) and visiting nephew Kristopherson.  That is until Mr. Fox slips into his sneaky, old ways and plots the greatest heist the animal world has ever seen.  When mean old farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean join forces to surround Mr. Fox and his family, they don’t realize they are not dealing with any old fox – it’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and he has a fantastic master plan to save the day! Based on the beloved best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is family fun at its finest. Anderson employs a colorful supporting cast to bring his eccentric characters to life including Bill Murray (Lost In Translation), Owen Wilson (Marley & Me) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman triology).  The DVD and Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack are packed with behind-the-scenes bonus features, including a special inside look at how stop-motion animation really works and much more.

I was sent a screener of this movie to preview with my family. My youngest son, who is 10, had already seen it at the movie theatre with his school for a class field trip but the rest of us hadn’t seen it. I must say, I was pretty disappointed by it. I was so excited to get a copy of it to review but I just couldn’t grasp the storyline of it. It does have some pretty funny parts, and my 10 and 13 yr. old sons just think it is a great movie. It just wasn’t my taste in movies. It also did not keep the attention of my 4 yr. old daughter who I let watch it. I personally believe it is for older children. Ten is about the right age to maybe 15.  If I was rating this movie on a scale of 1 – 10 with 10 being the best, I would give it a 7.

It does have some cute parts and I love the animation. It is really neat. But the storyline just didn’t get it with me. I would NOT say this movie was a total bust for movies, it just isn’t my type. My favorite part was when they moved into the new tree home. I wish I could live in a tree like that

Here are some activity pages for your children to do that go along with the movie :

From returning director Shawn Levy (Cheaper By The Dozen), the film also stars Amy Adams (Enchanted), Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting), Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), Ricky Gervais (“The Office”), Steve Coogan (Tropic Thunder) and Jonah Hill (Super Bad).

FROM ME :

I absolutely adore these movies. My whole family does. We watched this movie recently and it was just as great as the first one. My favorite part/character – The Easter Island talking head was in it again telling the dum dums to give him some gum. I love that guy. This time around there is Amelia Earhart, Abe Lincoln, Napoleon, and many other great historic characters. My kids actually learn from these movies because the characters that they don’t know, after the movie they end up looking up, So I love that benefit from it. My 4 yr. old daughter wasn’t as “into” the movie as my 10 and 12 yr. old sons. So I would suggest this movie for ages who can understand it a bit more, say 8 and up. I cannot wait to see if they make another one with even more new characters. I guess we will wait and see.
