The Fantastic Mr. Fox

I think this is now my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Its just cussin' brilliant. I can't recall ever reading the book as a kid though, I don't think I ever got into Dahl. The titular Mr. Fox is a chicken- and thief who goes into a less risky line of work after getting married and having a son. But he ends up going back to his thieven' ways after he moves his family to a new home near the three meanest and richest farmers around...

Clooney meshes well with Anderson's cast of regulars and the animation is just perfect. The whole movie is wonderful and smart and fun and moving and funny and clever. And it even has an excellent sound-track. Though I can't recall an Anderson movie that doesn't have that...
