A wily fox uses his formidable cunning to outsmart three feeble-minded farmers, who resort to extreme tactics to protect their chickens in director
Wes Anderson's animated adaptation of the popular
Roald Dahl children's book. For 12 years, Mr. and Mrs. Fox (voices of
George Clooney and
Meryl Streep) have lived a peaceful life in the wilderness with their son, Ash (voice of
Jason Schwartzman). Shortly after their young nephew Kristofferson (voice of
Eric Anderson) arrives for a visit, Mr. Fox's long-suppressed animal instincts begin to take over and the faithful family man resorts back to his old ways as a cunning chicken thief, endangering not only his family but the entire animal community as well. When evil farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean force the animals underground in a desperate attempt to capture the audacious Mr. Fox, dwindling food supplies force the frightened animals to band together in one last attempt to fight for the land that is rightfully theirs.
Bill Murray,
Michael Gambon,
Willem Dafoe, and
Owen Wilson provide additional voices.
