Fantastic Mr. Fox

I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox the other day and to my surprise I don't have much of a review. I expected it to be one thing (having not read the book) but it turned out to be another. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, although "Ash" was pretty sarcastic and witty, which I liked. I suppose he was my favorite character, the outcast, Mr. Fox however......not so cool :S well maybe for a fox I guess but thats it. There were some boring scenes and some good ones, some not so funny jokes and some funny ones (but not laugh out loud funny). Mostly the most exciting parts about this movie were simply the animation, it was really something to watch the characters and the way they moved about. Personally I think Stop-motion animation is really cool, not very many directors use it now a day but they should! The second thing that got me everytime they said it was "cuss", it was pretty "cussing" cool! lol :) The movie is based on a childrens book and thats who will probably enjoy it more! Rent it for your kids or watch it yourself, just not at the theatres!
