There was a test-screening of FANTASTIC MR. FOX recently and The Playlist have an early report about what one of their readers who attended, saw. Here is a snippet:
“Regardless of that, the film was very good. Even on an ungraded film reel, it still looked absolutely fantastic. I’ve had a quick scout about on Google, but I couldn’t find one solitary screenshot of the film, so I’ll do my best to describe the characters. It’s done using stop-motion animation, and all of the models and backgrounds are intricately detailed. You can see the individual hairs on the foxes faces move about in the wind on close ups, and the action scenes that they had completed were both good to look at and fun to watch.”
You can check out the rest of it HERE. The film, is of course, a stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book about two farmers who, tired of having their chickens routinely stolen by a sly fox (George Clooney), conspire to get rid of their opponent and his family.
