Wednesday Movie Club: FANTASTIC MR. FOX

Wednesday Movie Club: FANTASTIC MR. FOX In-Person

This film is being presented as part of the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library's Wednesday Movie Club, a weekly showcase of movies that matter for people who love movies.  Each week's screening begins with a brief presentation on the film's significance and various elements viewers might want to pay attention to.  Then, immediately following the screening, attendees will be invited to discuss the film.  Participation in discussions is voluntary.  Registration is not required.

This week we're getting in the Thanksgiving spirit with Wes Anderson's FANTASTIC MR. FOX. This modern-day animated classic -- based on the story by Roald Dahl -- follows a wily fox (voiced by George Clooney) as he breaks a promise to his wife (Meryl Streep) by raiding the farms of their human neighbors. Giving in to his animal instincts, however, endangers not only his marriage but also the lives of his family and their animal friends who must come together to rise above the opposition. "With one creative genius adapting the work of another," writes critic, Giles Hardie, "The result is a mesmeric, visual feast, a host of adorable eccentric characters and a truly wonderful, kid [and adult] friendly, caper."
