FANTASTIC MR FOX
Domestic life does not suit Mr Fox. After spending twelve years in his quiet lair beneath a tree with his wife, his son Ash and his nephew Kristofferson, the fox’s hunting instinct gets the better of him and Mr Fox goes back to his old way of life as a chicken thief. Too bad the owners of the farm, Boggis, Bunce and Bean, are not quite as happy about Mr Fox’s regained natural instinct and his nightly incursions into the chicken coop. The three farmers begin a merciless foxhunt that threatens the entire animal community of the farm. Only Mr Fox’s wiliness will manage to save them all.
“Not enough happens to make a feature-length movie, so we knew we had to invent a lot. But as we did it, all we wanted to do was to try and write something that we hoped Roald Dahl would think was suitable and fit with what he has invented in the first place. We were trying to write a Roald Dahl movie. I mean, we’re not going to think up the same jokes that he would, and we’re bringing our own personalities to it. But our goal was to try and do a Roald Dahl story.”
