Wes Anderson makes this story live and is a great one for the family

I am a serious fan of Roald Dahl so approach film adaptions of his books with caution. This was better than I could have imagined. I watched it with my two young daughters who loved it but I can't help feeling it has even more to offer to its adult viewers. Not sure how voicing an animation can be so good but I think George Clooney was destined to be Mr Fox.

Roald Dahl must be turning in his grave. Fantastic Mr Fox is in my opuion one of his best stroies and this made me think 'What were they thinking???!!!' This is one of the worst films I have seen and I have seen some shockers. Don't waste your money settle down with nice animated pixar or disney instead.

One of the best animation films of all time,worth every penny and a brilliant family film.

Although a strange mix of English and American culture, this is a charmingly beautiful adaptation of a great book.

Top job from all the cast and crew to put together a funny heartwarming film which you can watch again and again.

It is brilliant why dose some people not like it because it is great

The greatest family movie of all time!

Makes me laugh everytime! Especially the bedroom scene with Ash & Kristopherson!

A quality soundtrack too!

Good take on the book!

Loved the book and now the film, GC is GREAT as Mr Fox - both are fantastic

Brilliant! Captivated right from the start and very witty! Must see!!

Absolutely brilliant must watch, defiantly worth the price, only if you have a good sense of humour.

How can people like the book beter than the film idiots!

It's not worth seven pounds it's worth ten pounds!it's the best movie ever

Let us start with Roald Dahl - quintessentially English. This is based on an English book that is beyond words. I still love to read the story, and I'm 16. I feel that the magic of Dahl and the illustrations by Quitein are truly 'fantastic'.

So why, why, why use such (as themovieshackman says) 'counter-current animation' which oozes loveliness, keep so close to the plot (for a film - very good) and go and ruin it with American actors?? Please, not everything needs to be "Hollywood".

What could have been... well, fantastic was quickly spoilt by poor animation, underdeveloped characters, absurd logic and severe lack of faith to the original source material. It did give us one decent quote however, in the form of "That's just weak song writing! You wrote a bad song, Petey!" (It makes sense in context) and I can't fault the acting, especially of Bean. This is just my opinion, so check it out if you want.

Hmv are selling this for £6 and you get a free digital copy.

The book is so much better than the film in my opinion.

It's different from most of the films out there - and I had about a five second

laugh half way through the film, but really, it's not what it's cracked up to be.

Don't buy it, rent it.

I hope you enjoyed it more than me!

I'm not interested in these tiresome comparisons between the film and the book, enjoy it for what it is; a refreshing mix of eclectic and quirky style, resulting in a well rounded and comforting film.

Fanstastic Mr Fox is a great book but they have ruined it by making it a film . I sat through that film and I never yawned soo much in a cinema in my whole life!

If you think this is an animation for the kids, think again! I bought as Fantastic Mr Fox was my favourite childhood story. My feeling is that you'll either love this film or hate it. Those who get it will love it, those who don't were probably expecting a Disney style animation film, and that is not what this film is at all. In Some ways the film is really quite surrealistic with some very bizarre moments and dialogue that don't seem to relate to anything. The result is something really different from the norm, and a great film for an adult audience.

My young children won't like this film, and if you're expecting it to be geared towards young children I suggest you don't buy it, but for anyone who likes something a bit quirky, it is fantastic!

This film is fantastic! It makes me laugh from start to finish. 5/5

This is one of the best films I have ever seen! It is funny clever witty pure genious! A must see for all ages.

An excelent movie for the family to wach together. I really enjoyed it

Kind of wanted to see this at the cinema but never got round to it. It surpassed my expectations. It was never supposed to BE the book it was a going to be a new story.

Ok. So it's not an all singing all dancing 3d IMAX spectacular. Would mr Anderson ever do that. Probably not. The story is obvious but the under currents are very human and easy to relate to. For those who don't understand the meditating fox. Why also then are they wearing clothes. It's called anthropomorphism. Look it up.

Rubbish animation and really badly done puts stop motion animation back years - if you gave people £10.99 to take it off your hands they would still say there was robbed.

Singlehanded almost destroyed a really popular book - guess they will need to change the title of the book to try to salvage the book from the train wreak of a movie.

Shame you can have no star rating as 1 star is a way to much

Overpriced

Let's keep it simple:

• Best direction of stop motion ever

• Perfect cast: Clooney excels.

• The music is the bow on top

• Colours are autumnally rich in every frame

• Not for kids but that's a good thing right?

• Petey's Jarvis dance is incredible

Verdict: Buy it

As I said it isnt very accurate at all but still a very charming, witty, very funny, and imaginative film which is great fun for everyone, even me a synical teenager. It is also a bit weird but very original and amazing anamation.

Outstanding loved it and so did my mum!!!!!

As a fan of Wes Anderson I'd like to watch this on my Apple TV, but sadly Fox have pulled all HD content from iTunes UK, meaning they will get exactly £0 from me.

Great story line, smartly voiced

Totaly rubbish. Very boring not funny the book entatained me more. And why do they obviously replace the d word with a another word (can't remember the word) the only good bot is when th tall farmer gets on a rage.

Rented for a bit of fun, but was thoroughly dull and a waste of my £3.49.

The annoying whistle-click the fox does is wholly unnecessary and detracts from the "story". George Clooney overacts throughout (trying to replay Danny Ocean perhaps?) and there is a dull power-struggle between the two young foxes. A meditating fox - which lunatic decided to put that into the story? I don't remember that from the book!

I would save your pennies. In fact buy the book, or a story tape of the book.

This movie is really good and people say that their kids hate it

As a kid I loved it and found the plot and characters were done brilliantly

But just because this movie is PG dosent mean that it is for kids

There are movies that are meant for adults that are rated PG

So with that i leave my opinion

You may not like it but I did

Leave a comment if you agree

It is a good film told by the director and it has a good cast in it but it is very ramdom in the ending they are dancing ramdomlie!! I recomend it

I went to the movies to see this, to be honest, it wasn't that fanstastic, but it was a diffenite thing everyone should see.

I do love a little George Clooney, he's a fantastic actor, and this is a good classic written by Roald Dial ;)

I didnt like this film nor did my 2 daughters and £10.99 is definately too much!

Wes Anderson has created a wonderfully counter-current animation, easily my favourite of 2009, which oodles charm in every frame. The level of authenticity achieved by recording the all-star cast's voices in appropriate locations (such as chicken coops, burrows) combined with the stylishly exaggerated English countryside is a treat for all. Dahl fans will not be tearing their hair out (if they can forgive the American accents), as the storyline is roughly intact, although expanded. That said, the story is firmly in the backseat to the goregeous, meticulously detailed animation. The best performances go to Schwartzman as Ash, and Dafoe as the dangerous, spaghetti western - referencing Rat. Clooney and Streep provide a remarkably believable romance given the circumstances. There have been complaints that Fantastic Mr. Fox is not so much a kid's film, and it is true that the appeal is directed at a slightly older audience. However, for it's sumptuous look alone, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a treat which will inspire and delight alike.

I felt this film went on too long, possibly because it wasn't for me. Annimation was great if you like that sort of film.

I didn't like this at all and nor did my 8yo son.

I think this is a great movie and you should watch it.

Amazing family film with just a touch of adult humour. Think royal tenanbaums but animated, a lot of heart and charm t this film

Omg!! This film is amazing!!

U shud so buy it, but I think iTunes need to lower the price!!

What a rip of!!

If you like the book you will injoy the flim 5 stars
