Disney Plus is the home of animation par excellence. The streaming platform has everything in its catalog, from Disney and Pixar, two brands for which it already leads this market with fervor. However, its animation products go beyond; by having Fox, it also has series like The Simpsons and Futurama… and some surprising movies.
The latest animated film to join Disney Plus is Fantastic Mr. Fox. The 2009 film has just been added to the catalog and is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for fans of the genre. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a practically unique film, as it was Wes Anderson’s first animated film. Anderson is a prestigious filmmaker who won an Oscar this year for his short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
A Wes Anderson gem
In Fantastic Mr. Fox, we meet Mr. Fox, a cunning fox (George Clooney) who, despite having promised to leave behind his life of stealing chickens, can’t resist the temptation of one last big heist against the evil farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. As he plans and carries out his daring plan, he triggers a series of events that put his family and the entire community of forest animals in danger. With clever humor and charming animation, the film is innovative and groundbreaking in many ways.
