Initially, the animal characters in the “Fantastic Mr. Fox” trailer may look creepy and stiff, not sleek at all like denizens of the common CGI cartoon movie. But Wes Anderson’s film is actually adorably quirky, and the stop-motion technique enhances and complements the retro-styled visuals. “Fantastic Mr. Fox” will be remembered more for its witty script, though; it’s clear early on that the well-timed humor enlivens the modern fable about sly Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney), who must outsmart three reviled farmers and rally together members of the threatened animal community. So while it’s not overly hip and with-it like the over-rendered animated feature of the month, this film nonetheless has a timeless appeal to it, and a fantastic world that deserves repeat visits.
“Fantastic Mr. Fox” will be shown exclusively at Ayala Cinemas starting Dec. 9.
