Check Out Interview's Chat With Wes... (Excerpt below.)

DESPLECHIN: You went to school in Austin?

ANDERSON: College in Austin. Then I lived in California for a while. Then in New York.

DESPLECHIN: Where did you meet Owen Wilson?

ANDERSON: In Austin. We must have been 18.

DESPLECHIN: And you both wanted to work in cinema?

ANDERSON: I guess we did. I don’t know. I was studying philosophy, and he was studying English. But we met in a playwriting class. We first started talking about writers, but we also talked about movies right off the bat. I knew I wanted to do something with movies. I don’t know if he had realized yet that it was an option."

Check Out Cinematical's Review:

A gloriously unwieldy comedy of manners submerged in the minutiae of Anderson's madcap creativity. All of which makes Fantastic Mr. Fox a celebration both of its stop-motion medium and Anderson's aesthetic, while still managing to fully document the spectacular fun in original author Roald Dahl's daffy, distinctive imagination."

Read Reuters' "MR. FOX a Fantastic Hand-Crafted Vision"

With animation director Mark Gustafson, DP Tristan Oliver and production designer Nelson Lowry, Anderson has created a world as stylized and inventive as anything he's done. From the fox-red glow of a morning idyll to the noirish gutter scene where one character meets his end to the icy fluorescent glare of the film's closing scene - happy but not without compromise - 'Fox' is a visual delight."
