Wes acts out Fox

This is a rather funny little behind the scenes feature from HitFix which details how Wes Anderson acted out every scene himself as a model for the animators for THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX. Like literally, if you see a character doing something onscreen, Anderson was filmed running around in the studio, his house or outside doing the exact same thing first.

It speaks to the fact that essentially, Anderson and his crew were making up how to film this entire movie as they went along, as nothing like this had really been tried before. It’s stop motion approached from a perspective of live-action, and it’s interesting to see the process behind the film. Check it out below.
