Movie review: FANTASTIC MR FOX

Movie review: fantastic Mr Fox
The movie was released on the 13th of November in 2009. It was originally written by Ronald Dahl. The movie is about a Mr Fox, he was well known for stealing food from 3 farmers. The farmers were Boggis, Bean and Bunce. The 3 farmers came with an idea to kill Mr Fox. Their plan was to shoot Mr Fox when he was about to come out of his house. The farmers eventually failed to kill Mr Fox but they shot his tail off. The farmers tried out different strategies to kill Mr Fox but he was way too smarter than them.

The differences between the book and the movie was at the beginning of the movie Mr and Mrs Fox used to steal the food together whilst in the book they never mentioned that part, he was going alone when went to steal. The story in the book was so short, in the movie they had to add additional scenes that were not documented in the book. Another big difference was after they make themselves get caught, Mr Fox promises to give up the everyday life of stealing for their safety and becomes a newspaper writer for the local paper The Gazette. Other differences was that Mr Fox and his associates decided to fight back while in the book was never mentioned.


I enjoyed the movie so much especially the violent part of it where the Mr Fox and his associates were fighting against the farmers. I think the movie is not suitable for children because it promotes violence, stealing and the language is not good. The message that I got from the movie was that we must learn to fight back.
