Not sure I'm down to brave a theater for this one.

I give up on Hollywood

Go Wes!!!

For Wes Anderson completists only...

These fucking animals dress better than anyone I know!

That's like a tuna company calling out AT&T- where's the connection?

Seriously, I've seen that posted over and over again for years and years now. Why does AICN suck so much Apple cock?

If it's their version of trolling then great, but just tell us assholes, why do you always call it that?

I think Harry started it as an honest worship of the video format and it became a running joke since. It's not Apple cock-sucking by any stretch.

How much better would this movie have been if Aardman made it.

GROUNDBREAKING ANIMATION!! VOICES BY OSCAR WINNERS!!

It's as if the prodcers are afraid no-one is going to see this crap.

Fuck this hip pigshit

yep

Where the Wild things are and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs talk about 3 different ways to make a childrens book movie. I hope they all are good and fun. Cloudy took the stupid fun kids movie route, Wild Things took the its the book come to life route, and this looks like its the we are trendy and hip artist see our cool movie route. I bet Cloudy banks the most.

This is coming from someone who loved all the other movies. But save for the 10 seconds Bill Murray is on the screen the movie was just boring and went no where and uninvolving. Hopefully Zombieland doesn't suffer the same fate.

...and I like his movies. Does that make me a stupid moron? Or am I allowed to enjoy them?

Geez that was some WEIRD cinematic shit. I'll pass.

I mean, only a pretensious, asshole, hipster fag would want to watch a cartoon based on a Roald Dahl book. And what's with the way Wes Anderson characters always dress nicely? Why don't they dress like the people on Entourage? Why isn't there any T.I. on the soundtrack? Why are Wes Anderson movies always about people's feelings and stupid gay shit like that? I'm gonna kick all your asses if you don't engage me in a drinking contest. If I win the contest, you have to give me all of your Entourage DVDs.

"It was Cheney doing that stop-motion shit."

And this is coming from someone who has only seen one Pixar film (The Incredibles). Don't see what everyone is getting so bent out of shape for. I think the stop-motion looks kind of neat.

...if you've never seen Robot Chicken.

that is all.

I like Wes, but come on. Other than that I thought the trailer was interesting.

"Hipster fag." Makes me miss high school.

That shit is stupid and tired. Hey AICN knobs! Maybe in 1999 when the Episode 1 trailer came out Quicktime was the best thing going. It's 10 years later sycophant and that program is one of the worst pieces of shitware around. Almost as horrible as iTunes. Either you're just trying to be assholes with that comment or you're too stupid to know any different...

The actual Aardman version of Fantastic Mr. Fox could have been.

Whats better then quicktime? Not trying to be a dick I just don't know?

...but my biggest complaint about Quicktime is not the video quality, but rather the software is bloated and hijacks media types even if you tell it not to. Not to mention it's constantly calling back to Apple headquarters!

this looks great - just showed the missus she loved it too

Initially I was turned off by pop culture references and the herky-jerky look of the animation, but after this trailer I'm a bit more intrigued. I'll try and ignore the too-often-espoused celebrity voiceovers that drive animation budgets through the roof and hope it's as good as the trailer claims it is.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of Dahl's most British stories and to hear Americans in these parts feels... wrong. Like if Harry Potter or Bond were an American wrong.

Now jump.

agreed. but the trailer seems fairly loosely fantastic mr fox. it's kept the structure, but the story seem quite original, even compared to the dahl book. he would not have had to change this much to claim it as entirely his own work.

2 HOURS OF GODAWFUL OVERINDULGENT NONSENSE. IT TOOK ME 3 WKS TO FINALLY GET THROUGH THAT FUCKING MOVIE. CHRIST. I SHOULD HAVE JUST FISTED MYSELF AND SAVED THE TIME.

Personally, I thought that trailer was beautiful. But yeah, I find pretty much all of Anderson's films pretty stunning (with the odd exception of TENENBAUMS which most fans love, but which strikes me as the only time he's crossed the line between carefully crafted and over-crafted). And, for whoever mentioned it above, the trailer quote doesn't "call out" Pixar, it says the film is of the same high quality as the work Pixar does -- it's a compliment.

since the 1931 King Kong. Even Willis O'Brien realized how to minimize that by the time he made Mighty Joe Young. Who animated this? Some high school AVers with an old Super-8? I say FLOP.

They sure do a good job at animating the stuffed animals tho, but everytime i see them i'm expecting maggots to start falling out of their mouths. I'm sure im not alone in that, and this movie will bomb (I know it's not real stuffed animals, but they fucking look like it).

I heard "Roald Dahl" and was getting set for some quasi-fruity JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH children's musical...this looked mature, hilarious, and the oddball, "cheap" animation actually sells the thing...I'm pretty stoked.

And yeah, DARJEELING UNLIMITED sucked...every good director overreaches.

stuff? It's all demented and threatening. Anything but cutesy.

And I ain't talking about Rothman's mob either. Foxes are evil, predatory vermin that kill chickens and attack household pets. If this film had any touch of reality about it, smooth Mr Clooney fox would stick his head out of his home, where I would blow the fucking thing off with my shotgun !!!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

It's time Roald Dahl is treated properly after that terrible Willy Wonka remake (and I generally like Tim Burton). As with his live action films, it looks like Anderson's animation has a truly unique look and style.

And here I thought he was talented. ...Thanks internets!

I can't believe how many Wes Anderson haters there are on this talkback. His films are inspired and even if they're not of your particular taste, I think they're objectively more interesting than 98% of movies out there. I think The Darjeeling Limited was easily one of the best films of 2007(?). Really, there are far worse filmmakers who are far more deserving of being attacked.

I love Wes Anderson's films, and this looks like it will be just as good as the rest. The one thing I hated about Juno was how everyone acted like it was a masterpiece because it seemed so original, even though Anderson's films have kept the same tone WITHOUT being annoying.

You guys are crazy. This looks hilarious. What makes it even funnier is the ridiculously somber and prestigious announcer. The dialogue is great, standing up on its own, and then you have the guy from The Painted Veil or some crap doing VO about how classy the picture is.

I'll take an Anderson movie over 90% of the shit Hwood puts out any day! Darjeeling really sucked but I've enjoyed the rest of his movies, so maybe he's back on track here...
