Time names Fantastic Mr Fox in best 25 animated films of all time
The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films
They've enthralled or terrified generations of kids, and now they're giant worldwide blockbusters. So what are the best animated features of all time? Using an obscure system of weights and measures, TIME movie critic Richard Corliss has compiled and annotated the countdown, from No. 25 (Lady and the Tramp) to No. 1 (see for yourself). Are your favorites on the list? Let the great debate commence; we know it'll be animated.
24. Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2009
By Richard Corliss Thursday, June 23, 2011
Stop-motion animation is exacting, exhausting work: building puppets, placing them on a miniature stage and moving them one frame at a time — tens of thousands of times. Harder still is bringing insouciant life to this arduous process. That's what director Wes Anderson and animation director Mark Gustafson managed in this delightful version of the Roald Dahl children's classic about a dapper, larcenous fox (voiced by George Clooney) who aims to pull off one last, impossible heist. The vibe of Fox and his wife (Meryl Streep) and rebellious son (Jason Schwartzman) is as comically tense as it is in families from earlier films by Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums) and co-writer Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale). But the brood soon bonds, revealing its humor and humanity, its intrinsic and intoxicating foxiness.

I don't recall seeing this before: raz movies
Cast and crew talk about George Clooney as the perfect choice to supply the voice for the film’s wily title character and hero in FANTASTIC MR. FOX, directed by Wes Anderson. Also featuring the voices of Meryl Streep

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Director: Wes Anderson
Stars: George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson
Fantastic Mr. Fox is super quirky, but, then again, it is a Wes Anderson movie. George Clooney stars as the eponymous Mr. Fox, and Meryl Streep plays his wife. The plot differs from that of Roald Dahl's children's book of the same name, which focuses on the eponymous Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) stealing from farmers to feed his family.
Here, the story centers on Mr. Fox's need to be "a fox" and his desire to steal chickens because, well, that's just what he was born to do. Kids might not understand that aspect of the film, nor should they. Kids are kids. Let them watch Pixar now. They can discover Wes Anderson's eccentric charms later.

Love the AFI's Twitter page on this and the location of the farm........
I got the impression from interviews later that they'd used Karen Duffy's farm for this...............
