Excuse me? Is The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day being flirted with by a psychotic rat?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
I’m not prejudiced against including newer BTS images in this series, I just hadn’t found many that tickled my fancy enough to include over some of these amazing classic stills. This one did.
I remember seeing this still around the time Fantastic Mr. Fox was released and thinking how cool it was then… For one, it has Mr. Bill Murray in it, so it’s automatically in the top 10% of coolest pictures ever. Secondly, it’s the voice and the visage of the Badger character in one frame, something you don’t typically get with animated movies of any sort. Usually it’s just a boring shot of an actor, wearing reading glasses and big-ass headphones, alone in a booth in their sweats looking like they just rolled out of bed.
Looking at this shot really made me smile and made me want to immediately put the movie on. That’s usually a pretty good indicator of a good BTS shot.
Here it is (click for the bigger version)! Enjoy!:

If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes likes thinking about its red dress…

What a great movie!! Great Pic
-
Any time I need a pick me up, Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of those types of movies I'll put on and I'll instantly be in a better mood.
-
Rushmore just gets better and better with age...
-
there's not gonna be to many of them quint. The Fantastic Mr. Fox was great! Thanks.
-
one of the best performances ever, her monologue in the kitchen where libataque's camera goes out of focus because he's crying (IMDB) is otherwordly. keep up the good work, love all the pics
-
Or a mole?
-
Murray is a miserable fuck but I love the man in almost everything he has ever made.
-
this seems like more of a PR picture then BTS scenes-- at least Wes Anderson isn't in it, o wait, that would be impossible.
-
that's all I got. Love this movie.
-
Just kidding. I'm not a douche. Awesome photo, by the way!
-
Movies or TV series to review or something productive to do instead of looking for old photographs? Please, stop. Get help. You need serious therapy, dude. Or at least a review of your job description.
-
I love the Behind the Scenes pics. Keep them up please.
-
That was the first Wes Anderson movie that I actually "got". Something about it being pupets just made the humor work in a way that never did with his live action movies. For me, anyway. I know lots of other people that love his flicks.

You look good.

...that has genuinely made me laugh. Everything else is funny peculiar as opposed to funny ha-ha.
-
Kinda!
-
his head is just too big.
-
He used to be funny.
-
"Yeah, I do" LOVE this movie! And Wes Anderson in general. I happen to think The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is one of Bill Murray's best performances. One of my favorite movies of all time as well ;)
-
I finally saw this movie last weekend. I had been dieing to see it since I first saw the trailer.
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. It seemed like most of the best parts were in the trailer. I loved the animation and cast but it just it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be. -
Captivated by it in the theatre. Got the Blu-ray for my birthday (since I had been raving about the movie so much), and it's been the gift that keeps on giving. No qualms whatsoever about the children watching it, and yet the content for adults is so much richer and deeper and more bittersweet than what other contemporary family films have to offer. Aside from the reliable Pixar machine (though would people really have been so enthusiastic about Up if it hadn't been a Pixar film?), I guess it's natural that the only memorable family films come from auters who are briefly dipping their toes in the genre (like George Miller with Happy Feet).
-
Yikes.
-
I enjoyed it. I don't want to sound like I'm telling MapMan he watched it with the wrong mindset, yet a "the trailer was better" reaction proves he didn't savor the greatness of each small line and detail.
-
Love it. Such an AUTUMN film. I want to watch it with pumpkin pie and turkey.
-
And first impressions being important and all that, but I gotta be honest,I hate Wes Anderson,I hate his movies,and people who constantly praise him get on my nerves.
-
Like I said, I didn't dislike it at all - I just didn't like it as much as I thought I would based on the trailer. Damning with faint praise I know...I will see it again sometime. I think the stop-motion animation was outstanding and unlike anything I'd seen before.
-
They played it up like it was a cultural phenomenon and a clever witted comedy. It's neither. It IS a very good story, but it's an adventure story... there's very little comedy in it... mostly it's just got interesting appeal and a whimsical story. It isn't a comedy and anyone looking for one will be sadly disappointed.
-
leaves me as cold as sex with a prostitute.
-
Seen it twice so far, and will watch it many more times than that.
Humour is SO subjective. I liked Scott Pilgrim, but I only really laughed once, during the Vegan scene. The rest of the time I just smiled. The fans in the back were laughing explosively, in a manner which suggested they knew when each joke was coming. THIS film makes me laugh, a LOT. It's in the dialogue and the way they say it. I like Anderson, but this is his best film. It has humour, heart and style. It tastes like liquid gold! -
I do think this movie gets better and better. Unlike Mapman, when I first saw the trailers, I thought the humour was going to be all pratfalls and smart-alecky banter. The out-of-context clips didn't do it justice however - the movie is rich and nuanced, with just the right touch of 'absurdity'. Also, George Clooney does give one of the best voice performances I've heard in an animated movie, and I am by no means a Clooney devotee.
"Wheredidyoucomefrom?How'dyougetinthere? FeellikeI'mlosingmymind!" -
The film was so good I suppose I never noticed his voice, thankfully...
-
Turned against Nil Murray now? I must have missed an email...
-
great picture.
-
What the cuss.
-
shows his office with a Mr. Fox marquette/puppet prominantly standing atop his desk. Another reason to hate the guy.BTW, a movie that fits the description "delightful" perfectly.
-
I can watch it anytime. Anytime.
-
Because I laughed my ass off through this movie, much in the same way the Muppets still make me laugh.
