This film is an animation of the book, written by Roald Dahl. The main protagonist is a fox, voiced by George Clooney, and this fox likes stealing from 3 farmers, called Boggis, Bunce, and Bean, who are not very nice people, as they intend to kill the fox and stop him from stealing their Valuables. Meanwhile, Fantastic Mr. Fox's nephew, Kristofferson, has to come and stay with them whilst his father is ill. Mr Fox's son, Ash, becomes extremely jealous, as the attention always seems to be on Kristofferson, due to his natural talent at everything he does. Eventually, Mr Fox and his son have to attempt to end this rivalry between them and the farmers, so he can get rid of these horrible people once and for all. It was very good, and my favourite part was when they were all running away, by digging whilst bombs and shovels were being used to help destroy their house, so the farmers could try and get to them, and this made me laugh multiple times. my favourite character was Ash as he was quite funny and was a bit silly too.

Fantastic Mr. Fox was voiced by George Clooney, his wife, Mrs. Fox was voiced by Meryl Streep, their son, Ash was voiced by Jason Shwartzman, the cousin was voiced by Eric Chase- Anderson, Boggis voiced by Robin Hurlstone, Nathan Bunce voiced by Hugo Guinness, and bean was voiced by Michael Gambon, who was also in the start of the Harry Potter films. Overall they did very well and the voices fitted the characters well too.
