Images from Wes Anderson’s ‘The Fantastic Mr. Fox’

It’s rare that I get excited for animated films not made by Pixar, but this is a film I’ve been following for quite a while now. THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX, based on the beloved classic children’s book, is a new stop-motion animated film from director Wes Anderson. First of all, yes… it’s still totally cool for a filmmaker to make a claymation movie in a digital age. Second, it’s being made by this filmmaker, previously responsible for BOTTLE ROCKETS, RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS and THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU. Isn’t that enough? If not, here are some great new images from the film including a couple from behind the scenes with Wes Anderson and Bill Murray.
