It made me feel uncomfortable and confused while watching it. Its dubbing attracting me, but its animation made me feel creepy. I know that’s its feature, but its character’s movements are realistic and weird at the same time. At first, I thought its theme is about the identity, like Mr. Fox has many identities, such as: father, fox, husband, and a hero, and he has to make a balance between them, but in the end, it’s a little chaotic for me, there are too many things happening at the same time. I don’t like Mr. Fox ；though their ending is good, they find a new place with abundant supply, he is still the one who brought others into this situation, hiding under the ground. So, I don’t really into this film, its ending is too unnatural for me.

I feel glad to see Mr. Fox confess his fault to his family for stealing the farmers’ apple soda, chickens because we all make mistakes and the important thing is that we learn the lesson and never do that again.

The three farmers used the excavator and hired lots of employees to dig a big hole and this reaction will destroy the nature and forest. The current event is that a lot of animals have no home to live.

Sorrow, ruined the place animal lived before, they are brutal. I felt depressed
and impressed.
Movie urged people protecting the environment, especially those creature
which lived a life before human coming.
Although the foxy changed his job to the newspaper firm, it still steal the
chicken from the farms. It is hard for people to change their mind because they have
been through those lives for years.
I think the son fox should be the one to be caught, when his cousin rescued him
at the end, they would truly recognize each other.
Besides the surroundings problem, I think the issue of peer in teen age is more
representative than that. Maybe we don’t embrace our sibling or relatives at the first
we met them.
When I was a 9-year-old kid, I hate playing with my big brother. He was stronger
and taller than me. Every time he hits me in a game, I cry loudly and go home
immediately. After watching the movie, I come up with my big brother. He took care
of me while I was sick being in the bad mood.

I had no idea after I watched the film.
I even think it’s just a normal and a little weird film.
After thinking, I realized this film is telling us to accept yourself and be yourself.
Even though lots of fragments are talking about the war between animals and humans, I think there are still some fragments that have other meanings.
For example, Ash was born relatively petite, and his motor skills were not well developed.
Because of this, he could not accept that Kristofferson was better than him.
But in the subsequent plan, Ash used his characteristics to save Kristofferson and became a major contributor to their escape from the hands of humans.
Also, what Mr. Fox said: We are “wild animals.”
Precisely because they are what they call “wild animals.”
They accept everything about themselves and use them regardless of their characteristics.
They created miracles.

I think the film is about a thief who encounters several obstacles after he dicides to commit the last crime before retires from a famous criminal. The film involve several aspect such as children-caring for a new parent, self-identity recognization, and living safety. However, the thing about the film that catches my attention the most is the fluency of every scene from the movie. People behind the scene need to accurately calculate the distance of the figure from each scene so that the picture from last to the next one will not be inconsistent.
Also, the way mr fox compares his son to the counsin reminds me that many ansian parents like to contrast their kid to others,so they’ll have self-pride feeling.
Fortunately, my parent won’t compare me to the other kid because i have nothing to be compared. They respect me in a certain way.

why the director pick “fox” instead of other animals to be the protagonist?

I’ll answer the question of Ellin
It depends on the director’s favor, he can decide the personality of every animals whatever he wants if he can relate it to the plot. But from opinion, we could see that mr fox remained calm even though he was caught with his wife years ago.His peronality is design to be steady and thoughtful.

a.) Before we watched “Fantastic Mr. Fox”, my friend said she had watched this film in her childhood and she constantly emphasized that the movie was greatly awesome. Plus, she also said she knew this movie back to front. Hence, I couldn’t wait to watch it at that time. It’s really amazing!! It is different from other animation films. One of the fantastic parts is it used the first-person angle which like the shooter game. Moreover, when the foxes performed their tasks, it was like they were defeating a challenge which just liked “Mario game.”
f.) We know Fantastic Mr. Fox’s author is the same as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s. Roald Dahl is good at using dark humor and funny ways to explore human nature. Consequently, for example, Mr. Fox promised his wife that he would give up the old business. However, wild nature still exist in Mr. Fox’s mind so he went back to stealing some livestock again after a decade. This situation often happends in our life. Sometimes, we may have other thigs to considerate so have no choice but to do it again; however, just because of our human nature which gives rise to do some illgeal activities.

The most memorable scene was that Mr. Fox went to the cider factory for stealing wine, and he disguised himself as a bottle of wine. This scene was not only funny but also reminded me of a novel once I read.
This time, I noticed that Father Fox often ignored his son’s emotions. Instead, he praised Kristofferson. However, at the end of the story, I saw Ash’s bandit hat had a little star on it, touching me a lot . It’s means Mr. Fox had already prepared a special hat for his son, so he had taken care of his son, actually. Ash finally got his father’s recognition.

Honestly, I have no idea who Wes Anderson is before watching the film, Fantastic Mr.Fox. Now I know him. In fact, I like this film and the way he presents it. I’ve never seen this kind of way. To talk about why I like it, few points. First, I really like some of the voice actors in that movie like Meryl and Willem. Second, I think the movie is full of creative elements. For example, when the eyes turn into two crosses, that means the character is dead. That setting is soooo interesting. Also, the contrast. Although there are lots of weapons seen in this film, I can’t see any drop of blood. Don’t you think the contrast is funny? At least that’s how I feel.

“Do you think Mr. Fox’s family live a happy life in the end?”
I think the answer is positive. After going through various difficulties in the process of escaping from those farmers, Ash was eventually recognised by his father. Also, Mr.Fox accidentally dug a tunnel towards the supermarket, which means they have plenty of food to enjoy. As for Felicity, due to the tunnel, she no longer has to worry about her husband returning to his old career.

1. The first thing comes up is that natural instinct. When it comes to the fox, I often associate the fox with cunning. From the scene that Mr. Fox is unsatisfied with the situations, there is a strong feature of the greed. In the film, Ash was treated unfairly by his family so that he was jealous of the treatment. I can feel that he has some low self-esteem on his ability to assist others.
I think this film is kind of different with other animated films. Most of plots include the violence, but the tone of the film presents the audience with warm color, which made the scenes harmoniously.

a) If people care too much about a little trouble that won’t cause significant damage, and do a lot of works to solve the little problem, they may lose much more things due to lack of taking the overall situation into consideration. I also learnt bravery from Mr. Fox. In our life, we need the courage to pursue what we love, the courage to admit our mistakes, and the courage to make up and correct our mistakes. Moreover, Foxy has a sense of responsibility in family, he tried a lot and did a lot to create a better quality of life for his family. Although he brought serious risks and dangers to his family, we cannot deny his efforts and dedication for his wife and child.

This movie inspired me a lot. First of all, it encouraged me and told me to be brave enough to face every challenge in life. No matter how difficult it is, how do you know whether it will succeed if you haven’t tried it? If you never work hard, you will never get good results. This movie conveys this truth in a comedic way. In addition, it reminds me of my dad. Mr. Fox is very responsible for his family. He tried his best to make them eat well. When his children were caught, he tried to save them regardless of danger. And so does my dad. In order for us to live a good life, he worked hard outside and would not complain to us when he encountered difficulties. He never puts pressure on me and just wants me to live happily. So I love this movie.

As I heard the movie named Fantastic Mr. Fox, my first thought was a fox that there’re nothing it can do it. However, in the begin of the movie, we clearly saw the main character Mr. Fox refuse to listen to advice of Mrs. Fox. The scenes that Mr. Fox got trouble without listening others advice repeated in the movie. At this part, I realized that this phenomenon is just like any teenager in real life. They think they can do everything on their own. Nevertheless, this situation usually stops when their behavior hurt people they love. For example, Mr. Fox realized his mistakes when Mrs. Fox said she regretted to marry him. After realizing his mistake, Mr. Fox gradually found others advantage which helped him conquer the difficult situation.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is not only focus on Mr. Fox but also on other characters. There are many scenes I also interested in. For example, the comparison between Ash and Kristofferson also appeared in many scenes. The reason I’m interested in is all the comparison are created by Ash himself. Mr. Fox also ignore his son’s feelings and show his interest in Kristofferson. Second, in the end of movie, when Mr. Fox and his crew drive the motorcycle on the way home, they met a wolf. In my opinion, the scene illustrates Mr. Fox conquer his fear. He said that he fears wolf. However, Mr. Fox have never seen wolf before. At that moment he saw the wolf, it didn’t scary as he thought.

I have a question at the beginning of movie. Why they need to learn the way human walk?

Q: Do you think Mr. Fox’s family live a happy life in the end?

In the beginning of the movie, I was a bit scared of the animation since I thought the animals in the film looked kind of creepy owing to their stiff body movement. Though I wasn’t that into the movie, I still admired those producers who had made this film. Making stop motion animation takes lots of time and effort. The enthusiasm that supported the staff to finish the scenes must be enormous! Despite the form or style of the scenes, I do like the story. Undoubtedly, Mr. Fox is a character filled with charisma. As a thief, he is smart, bold, as well as cunning, and those personality traits made him a tough enemy to the three farmers. In my opinion, Mr. Fox stole things not only owing to raising the family, but also to proving himself that he was still the fantastic Mr. Fox who used to play tricks on humans. A part I especially love in this film is that Mr. Fox realized and apologized for his mistakes after getting the family and other animals into trouble, but then he planned to have a big meal in the supermarket. For me, the resilience that Mr. Fox embraced an ordinary life without any thrills while never giving up on his big dream is impressive.
2)
Will Mr. Fox really quit stealing after looting from the supermarket?
3)
Why they need to learn the way human walk?
I think that the animals walk with two legs because they have to fit in human society. Also, the animals are close to people, so their behavior may be influenced by humans.

The movie , Fantastic Mr. Fox, provides me four inspirations.
First, you may have to give up your ideal job when you have your own family. Sometimes , to live in harmony with family or prevent your family from worrying about you, you need to take family as priority rather than your dream job. Like Mr. Fox, he chose to work in newspaper office and gave up stealing.
Second, sometimes, reversed thinking can make you achieve breakthrough when you run into difficulty. When the farmers backed Mr .Fox into corner , the fox had a brainwave . So, he stoled all the food from the farms where nobody guarded.
Third, we should make ourselves progress no matter which life stage we are in now. Mr. Fox is an ambitious and brave people .He always did’t satisfy the status so he bought a better house for his family and he dared to accomplish tougher achievements.
Forth, you need to figure out what you specialize in or you will get other’s recognization by following others blindly . The son of Mr. Fox finally realized that what brought him confidence is excellent motor nerve rather than things that he imitated from his cousin.
After the movie, I think I start to think what I really want during my life . Moreover , keep deep thinking , then you will find some turning points when you suffer from difficulty.
This is my reflection about the movie.

1. After watching the film, I didn’t like the special animation way the story was presented as much because some of the parts and actions felt weird to me. However, I think the whole story and the main themes it is trying to convey to the audience are actually quite fascinating. First of all, I like how the film is set based on the story of an ordinary family. I think this really makes it much easier for us to understand the feelings of the characters and also relate it to our own lives. Second, I like how the director uses one story to show lots of meaningful concepts in life. It made me felt that I learned a lot about life after watching the film. Last but not least, I like how most of the characters in the story have their own different personalities. It was joyful to see them interact and meet various circumstances with each other.
2. After almost being caught by humans and also seriously warned my Mrs Fox, why did Mr Fox still decide to take the risk and go steal from humans again?
3.What made Ash decide to take the tail back?
This was actually one of the best parts of the movie to me. I think Ash decided to take back the tail mainly because he loved his Dad and that he wanted to prove himself. Because Ash had always been compared with his cousin who was better than him in many things, he wanted to finally do something right. Therefore, he wanted to take back his father’s tail to win Mr Fox’s approval.

(1) The first time I read the book The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Mr. Rod Dahl was when I was in elementary school. At that time, I thought the story was full of surprises and creativity. Now, after watching this movie again, it brought back memories of my childhood and reminded me to keep my imagination open at all times. When it comes to the style of the entire movie, I find it humorous and cute. Whether it is the storyline or the personality of the characters, it highlights the special and interesting nature of this movie.
I think the message of this story is the pursuit of inner self, self-acceptance and the meaning of family. First of all, Mr. Fox has always wanted to return to his old life of stealing chickens and geese to make a living, but he is constantly suppressing himself due to the control of his wife. Next, Ash constantly wants to prove that he also has athletic ability. Under the pressure of his father’s excellent grades, he feels that he is not recognized by his parents and teachers (especially after his cousin moves in to live in the house); Mrs. Fox believed that the family should stay at home in security and live a peaceful life, so he was initially angry at Mr. Fox’s attempt to steal prey.
This is a simple but wonderful story that expounds some concepts of family ethics and self-worth in a way that humanizes animals. It is cute but not boring, so I like it very much.
(2) Do you think that it’s innocent of Mr. Fox to steal food for his starving family?
(3) If I were Mrs. Fox, I would like to marry someone like Mr. Fox. He is a responsible and family-oriented father. Although it is a bit dangerous in the process of fighting against the three farmers, it also brings great changes to the life of the Fox family.

In the movie, it’s a world where wild animal is wrong to be wild. Animal lives in a society where human moral and law exists, where animal do human jobs to survive. It’s beyond belief; however, Mr. Fox tries so hard to follow his instinct as a wild animal which is the reason that he is blamed by other animals.
It is ridiculous and interesting to watch a fox tries everything to be a fox, to “steal” a chicken. Dressing in a suit and standing on two legs, Mr. Fox acts like a human but all he wants to do is steal chicken. The humanity and wild nature seem to fuse together in Mr. Fox. He stands between the wolf that doesn’t speak and the animals that act like humans.
2. Would you go to steal the chicken if you were Mr. Fox or live as a journalist?
3. After almost being caught by humans and also seriously warned my Mrs Fox, why did Mr Fox still decide to take the risk and go steal from humans again?
His instinct as a fox rises and dominates the sense as a “human-animal”. How can a fox be called a fox if it doesn’t steal chickens?

1. The scene that impressed me the most was when Mrs. Fox calmly confronted Mr. Fox about their dire circumstances. This confrontation occurred because Mr. Fox broke a promise he made when Fox’s wife became pregnant. The predictable outcome was that they would all face grave consequences. Mr. Fox failed to recognize that his role had evolved from a single individual to a father figure within the family. Nevertheless, he remained determined to execute his thieving plan, endangering his family. This pattern of disobedience began at the story’s outset when Mr. Fox defied his wife, leading them into a trap. Sadly, he repeated the same mistake, resulting in a similar outcome.
2. Why is there a gray wolf scene in the movie?

Q：For you, is Mr. Fox a good father in the film？
A：I think Mr. Fox in this drama plays a character with certain strength and ambition. Mr. Fox has a certain degree of confidence in his own talents, which also gives him the qualities of a leader. However, Mr. Fox‘s overconfidence in doing things without considering the consequences is also his shortcoming. Mr. Fox doesn’t consider that his behavior should not be as unrestrained as in the past because he is already the father of a family. Although Mr. Fox seems to be seeking food when he carries out the theft plan, he actually endangers the family because he enjoys it. I think Mr. Fox lacks the calming qualities to be a dad.

1) Write and post a 50-150 word reaction to the film “Fantastic Mr. Fox”
First of all, I must say that I’m a fan of Wes Anderson. I have watched many movies directed by him, and I am deeply fascinated by his unique symmetrical aesthetic style. However, sometimes I wasn’t that understand certain plots or characters’ actions and lines in his movie, so I often use my own ideas to interpret the parts I don’t understand. I think “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is actually a satirical movie. I think the three farmers: Bean, Boggis & Bunce can be seen as the totalitarian government or the tyrannical superiors. They have hidden a lot of money and resources but are unwilling to share them with the people or inferiors, that is, the protagonist Fox family and other animals. And they’re also very harsh on the animals and even want to kill them all. I think Mr. Fox is actually a bit like the legendary figure in Taiwanese folk tales, Liāu Thiam-teng. He is a heroic person who resisted the Japanese colonial government and stole weapons from the police and property from wealthy people to help in poor villages. He is a classic image of “ gentleman thief“ in Taiwanese’ mind. I think what Mr. Fox did seemed to coincide with him. Although the act of stealing is wrong in itself, if the purpose is good, the spirit will be affirmed by others.
In addition, I also think that stop-motion animation is an amazing art style. When watching movies, I often suddenly have a thought: making the body movements and expression changes of these characters must be very energy-consuming, so I think I must hats off to the director and production staff.
2) Post a question about the film.
What did the “ wolf” means in the movie? What does his interaction with the protagonist fox and other animals after his appearance represent?
3) Pick one of your classmates’ questions and answer it.
Q: “ What made Ash decide to take the tail back? “

1) Actually, I didn’t think this movie would be fantastic and amazing while I was watching the opening. Maybe Mr.Fox’s face was too creepy at the beginning. However, I was attracted by the charm of stop-motion animation. It wasn’t like a common 2D animation but a 3D animation. Even though I can’t really tell many characteristics of this movie skill, it still appeals to me. Moreover, the hilarious moments of this movie impressed me. It’s just like someone telling a joke in a serious situation and relieves the tense atmosphere. For example, when Ash tried to save Kristofferson with karate, Kristofferson then taught Ash karate from scratch. It’s pretty fun.
2) If you were Mr.Fox, would you still pursue your instinct even though you knew the bad result?
3) Q : Why did the director pick “fox” instead of other animals to be the protagonist?(a question from Bob)
A : I think the author, Roald Dahl, was influenced by a literary cycle of medieval fables, Reynard the Fox. The plot of the siege in “Reynard the Fox” occurs to me when Mr.Fox’s house was besieged by three evil farmers. This story is just like a modern version of the medieval fox story. Foxes down the ages steal food from human beings whether from monasteries or farms.

1. In this film, I think one of the themes is that we have to take responsibility for what we do and accept the consequences. Just like in the movie, Mr. Fox, because he can’t resist the temptation of his nature, decides to return to his old business, steal the farmer’s livestock, resulting in a series of subsequent difficulties.This behavior not only put himself in danger, but also affected his neighbors. Faced with these consequences, the fox also recognized his mistake and helped all the affected animals in his own way. In the story, the fox finally chose to give up his own desires, for the sake of his family and the animals of the village. And this is like the helplessness of our real society, many people can only choose to give up the dreams just to to make a living. Life is not just for yourself, and not everything can be done on your own minds. Although life is impermanent, don’t be too desperate, as long as you live actively, maybe your dreams will come true one day.

Q:Why is there a gray wolf scene in the movie？
A:In the second half of the film, there is a scene with a grey wolf. I think the reason why the author arranged this scene is because the grey wolf has different symbols in the film. The grey wolf symbolises wildlife, and the grey wolf is contrasted with the fox. The grey wolf represents pure wildness and freedom, whereas the fox, although yearning for a wild life, is forced to suppress its wildness for family reasons, and this scene echoes the fox’s line “Because I am a Wild Animal.”

“Fantastic Mr. Fox” can be one of my favorite animation movies. Every scene made me stunning; the characters’ each move in the movie looks very different from that I have watched. This kind of animation production method is not in my dish, so I seldom watch them. Honestly, it freaked me out when I watched the movie at the beginning, but it’s also attracting at the same time. The storyline is very interesting, and that is the reason why I love it. The animals which chosen to be the main characters have the emotions just like human; however, they also have the animal habits, and the animals used their own animals’ advantages to fight with “evil” human. I think the message in the film is how to balance the human’s benefit and the nature’s protection.

Maybe I could spend sometimes finding this kind of animation that the production method is similar to Fantastic Mr Fox. Mr. Fox was my favorite charater in the film. He was clever, romantic and quite attracting. The first scene, when Mr. Fox and Mrs. Fox walking down the hill that scene caught my eye. Then, every charater showed in the film were all wonderful, the delicate texture of animal fur, and the distinctive characteristics made them alive. The plot were also stunned me alot. On the surface, we could easily tell the story was mainly about the conflict between the farmer and animals. However, I think the film also delivered us about the Mr. Fox’s progress of being a dad. I don’t know the feel and responsibility of being a dad of something, but there was thing that Mr. Fox really changed a lot. He keep mentioned that he was a wild animal, he wanted to adventure. Eventually, he changed himself, not to risk anymore for family’s sake.
2) Do you think Mrs. Fox really regret for married Mr. Fox?
3) Question: For you, is Mr. Fox a good father in the film？
My answer was he always were, but became quite better at the end of the film.
Although, Mr.Fox put his family in risk very often. But I think he was just want to change the poor condition, he wanted to live on the ground and had a better life with his family. He was indeed thinking about his family, but didn’t aware the consequences of the actions he had done.
At the end of the story, I could apprently see Mr.Fox changed a lot from being crazy and risky.

1.Actually, I was still impressed by the plot in “Fantastic Mr Fox”. I love this movie due to the image, color, or characteristics. I saw Mr.Fox changing his life style because of his family. For me, I would say that is the greatest thing in my mind. When I was a child, my mom treated very bad, for example, once she slapped my face as a punishment after I said bad words. Exactly, she made me understand what correct behavior I should have. On the contrary, she gave me the trauma in my heart forever.
