Excuse me? Is The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day being flirted with by a psychotic rat?

Published at:  Sep 07, 2010 4:08:27 PM CDT

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…

    Fantastic Mr. Fox

    by lochkray

    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.

    by mapman

    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.

    Just gets better with multiple viewings

    by jollymorphic

    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).

    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.

    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.

    man this movie was mismarketed

    by murdermostfowl

    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.

    by thecomedian77

    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!

    Great Movie!

    by abhimanyu

    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.
