You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast, and this is our review of 2009's Fantastic Mr. Fox. Who am I, Kylie? Why a fox? Why not a horse or a beetle or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as like existentialism, you know? I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds illegal. Wes Anderson creates a triumph and animated storytelling.

Honey, I'm 7.99. I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds illegal. Wes Anderson creates a triumph in animated storytelling.

Honey, I'm seven non-Foxy years old now.

My father died at seven and a half.

I don't want to live in a hole anymore.

And I'm going to do something about it.

Don't buy this tree, Foxy. This is bogus, Bunce, and bean, three of the meanest, nastiest, ugliest farmers in this valley. You're moving into the most dangerous neighborhood for someone of your type of species. Your comments are valuable, but I'm going to ignore your advice. The cuss you are. Are you cussing with me? No, you cussing with me? Don't cussing point me. You're going to cuss with someone. No, you're not going to... Just by the tree. Okay. Rolling Stone Raves. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a movie that deserves to be called groundbreaking. It looks like nothing you've seen before. We look good? Yeah, we do.

It's proof that Pixar doesn't have a monopoly on heartfelt and funny animation.

I'm asking if he thinks we're in for a hard winner.

Academy Award winner, George Clooney.

What's this thing you do, the whistle with the clicking sound?

That's my trademark.

Academy Award winner, Merrill Streep. You really are a quote-unquote fantastic Fox. I try. Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Defoe, Owen Wilson. Wack bass. It's real simple. There's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at whackbat. Center tiger likes a pine cone, and chucks it over the basket, and the whack batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock.

Fantastic Mr. Fox. Quig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out, then you count up however many scoredowns it adds up to and divide that by nine. All right, everybody, you were just listening to the trailer for 2009's Fantastic Mr. Fox. And the story is as follows. After 12 years of

Bacolic Bliss, Mr. Fox breaks a promise to his wife and raids the farms of their human neighbors,

bogus, bunts, and bean. Giving in to his animal instincts endangers not only his marriage, but also the lives

of his family and their animal friends. When the farmers force Mr. Fox and company deep underground,

he has to resort to his natural craftiness to rise above the opposition. The film is starring.

George Clooney, Merrill Streep, Jason Swartzman,

Bill Murray, Willem Defoe, and Owen Wilson. It is directed and written by Wes Anderson

and co-written by Noah Baumbach. Joining me for this historical podcast review, I have Deanne Keizze.

Hello.
