MR. FOX seems to be everywhere lately - here's just a snippet of where the wily character has made appearances. For starters, FOX and crew made the cover of New York Magazine’s "Gift Issue," which the mag even made a behind-the-scenes video for. (Pictured above is a still from said video.) Plus, coverage of the movie by everyone from NPR and Rolling Stone to Glamour magazine and Criterion - all accessible here.

Criterion's "Toon Time: A Q&A With Wes Anderson"

Q: You recruited quite a cast... How did you find directing actors in performances that are strictly voice work, especially since you often use actors so visually?"

A: "One thing I enjoyed was recording the cast together on a friend’s farm in Connecticut. It was kind of like being at summer camp. We made sort of documentary recordings of the voices on location. With an animated movie, the voices come first, and the animators bring in part two of the performances. It’s sort of a collaboration between the actors and the animators."

"'It's the first book I ever technically owned, that was considered my property in our household. I've had this copy all my life, so for me, when I thought I'd do an animated film, this was the first thing that crossed my mind.'"

"'Eric says he thinks that it's based on my relationship with my older brother,' says Anderson. 'He was always taller, and he's very intelligent, and he was always better adjusted than I was. He's also very well-mannered and just always had it together. Now he's a doctor... I was a kind of grouchier, less well-adjusted child, so I think that might've been an inspiration without me ever thinking of it.'"

"But he always had Eric in mind for the voice of that character, he says."

Rolling Stone: "Wes Anderson's Fantastic Fox Tale"

Wes on author Roald Dahl's writing:

Dahl has no compunction about frightening children. They like to be frightened and he likes to frighten them. He's drawn to dirty, nasty things. He was interested in children, had lots of children and had complicated relationships with children, but a child's worldview is one he could get behind."

For Anderson, his first ever adaptation is a passion project that he’s been developing for a decade. He’s been contemplating it for far longer, however – Dahl's book is the first he ever owned."

'I bought it at the school book fair,' he recalls, slightly sheepishly. 'I mainly loved the digging in it. My brother and I had two fascinations – rooftops and underground. I guess that shows in the movie.'"

New Jersey Moms' Blog: "What Our Family Has in Common with Fantastic Mr. Fox"

We are big Roald Dahl fans in my house. He has a skillful way of exposing the dark fearful side of children's psyches, and empowers kids to make their way intact through a world where adults can be cruel and self-serving. His flawed characters bumble through whimsical and wicked situations with humor and imagination. One of my favorite 'mom' memories is all the collective times I read the twisted adventures of Roald Dahl to my kids. I know that when they think about why we dream, they tap into the many nights we spent curled up together reading..."
