Fantastic Daddy Fox is yet another coming-of-age fairy tale directed by Wes Anderson. Although the film is adapted from a fairy tale, it still incorporates the director's own thoughts into the creation, incorporating its usual abnormal frame, high-saturation colors, and a cold and humorous style. It leads the audience to feel like they are in a fairy tale when watching the film, and feel the psychological changes and growth of the characters in the humorous images.

The first is its high saturation color. It is not difficult to find in the film that Wes Anderson has added his usual primary color, red. When the father fox sneaked into the cider factory while he was drinking, the colors on the top were embraced by warm colors, presenting a warm and tense atmosphere. At the same time, the use of light and music enhanced the rhythm of the film, making the audience watch the film Bring emotions into the film as well as the characters in the film, worried or nervous.

In addition, it is Wes Anderson's most special style, symmetrical composition. The stable and solemn style of painting, coupled with the humorous and interesting storyline, makes the audience in a state of balance and no sense of disobedience when watching the film. At the same time, the stable picture forms a strong contrast with the ups and downs of the plot, giving the audience an unprecedented sense of physicality.

The most impressive scene in the film should be the encounter between the fox father and the wild wolf. Although the two are in the same scene, they have different moods. The wild wolf is a symbol of ideals and freedom, while the motorcycle and the mask are life. Realistic symbol with society. Farewell to the wolf father is to say goodbye to his immature self and reckless ideals in the past, and the sentence of wishing him good luck is also a confession to himself. Say goodbye to the past, it is only then that he truly becomes a qualified husband and father, the most amazing fox dad from real life.

    Three and a half. It was taken for adults with childlike innocence.

    What kind of cartoon is this? I'm very confused. It's really a good thing. The fox dad is indeed a classic. Of course, the plot is still old-fashioned.

Fantastic Mr. Fox quotes

  • Petey: [singing around a campfire with his banjo] 'Bout a handsome little fox let me sing you folks a yarn. / Hey, diddle-dee daddle-da doddle-do doodle-dum! / 'Twas a splendid little feller full of wit 'n' grace 'n' charm. / Say, zippy-zee zappa-za yappy-yo doodle-dum! / Well, like any little critter needin' vittels for his littl'uns, / Well, he stole, and he cheated, and he lied just to survive. / With a doodle-dum diddle-die doddle-diddle doodle-dum!

    Other singers: Doodle-dum diddle-die doddle-diddle doodle-dum!

    Petey: Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!

    Other singers: Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!

    Petey: Doo-dah doo-day day...

    Petey: Let me take a little tick now to color in the scene: / 'Cross the valley lived three yokels name of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. / Now these three crazy jackies had our hero on the run. / Shot the tail off the cuss with a fox-shootin' gun. / But that stylish little fox was as clever as a whip / Dug as quick as a gopher that was hyper-ack-a-tive.

    Other singers: Yeah!

    Petey: Now those three farmers sit 'twhere there's a hole 'twas once a hill. / Singin' diddle-dee daddle-da doddle-do doodle-dum! / And as far as I can reckon they're a-settin' up there still. Singin' zippy-zee zappa-za yappy-yo...

    Franklin Bean: [standing behind him] What are you singing, Petey?

    Petey: Just... just making it up as I went- as I went along, really.

    Franklin Bean: That's just weak songwriting. You wrote a bad song, Petey!

  • Kristofferson: Uh, do you mind if I slide my bed roll slightly out from under the train set? It's hard to sleep in that corkscrew position.

    Ash: [in the top bunk] There's a lot of attitudes going on around here. Don't let me get one.

    Kristofferson: No, it's only just my spinal cord getting...

    Ash: Sleep wherever you want, man. Here, take my bed! I'll just uh... I'll crawl under the bookcase! Who cares if I get splinters in my ears?

    Kristofferson: Never mind.

    Ash: Oh, you gonna pout about it? 'Cuz I've had it up to HERE

    [gestures with his hand]

    Ash: with the "sad houseguest" routine.

    [Ash turns off the light and continues to read his White Cape comic in bed]

    Kristofferson: Good night.

    [he lies down under the train set and begins to quietly sob; Ash comes down, turns on the train, Kris gets up and they watch it]
