First FANTASTIC MR. FOX trailer
Friday, July 31, 2009
The first trailer is now online for The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson's stop-motion adaptation of the Roald Dahl story. The photos that were previously released made the characters look like stiff, creepy taxidermy exhibits, but they're actually surprisingly appealing in motion. The actual animation looks like it has a slightly crude quality, which I don't object to at all; the super-smooth movements of movies like Coraline are amazing, but the more stiff, jerky quality of older animation - as seen in the Ranking & Bass TV specials, for instance - can have a really charming quality, like watching a toy shop come to life.
(Given that George Clooney's little whistle-click deal is kind of annoying just in the trailer, I'm gonna predict it gets old real fast in the actual film.)
