SLAM Cinema—Fantastic Mr. Fox

Directed by Wes Anderson and based on Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) follows an urbane fox (voiced by George Clooney) who breaks a promise to his wife to abandon his wild ways, secretly organizing one last grand heist against three wealthy, ruthless farmers—Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. When the infuriated farmers retaliate by surrounding the animal community’s subterranean home, Mr. Fox must rely on his natural wits, cunning, and the unique skills of his family and woodland neighbors to outsmart their human foes. Rated PG, 1 hour 27 minutes.
