Fantastic Mr Fox

This afternoon I had the opportunity to see this movie which has received positive reviews from the critics. Therefore I developed high expectation about this animation and was a bit frustrated that the movie is not of that standard. The flow is good, the story is alright but it comes around a bit flat. It is a movie for the young, easy to follow and involving simple ideas without any thinking or any deep message. The story is about a fox, the good guy, that steals chickens from farmers, the bad guys. Eventually the farmers unite to try to catch the fox. In every occasion fox and farmers try to outsmart each other and eventually the Mr Fox wins in the end to the amusement of the kids.

I give 4 out of 5 for Fantastic Mr Fox.
