Read Common Sense Media’s review to learn more about whether this film is right for your kid.

Based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book comes a quirky tale of a fox, or rather, a fantastic fox. Up on a hill, in a base of tree, Mr. and Mrs. Fox live a happy and comfortable life with their son Ash. However, Mr. Fox soon slips back into his old animal ways and starts to steal chickens and other delicious foods from the farms close by. Fed up with the antics of Mr. Fox, the evil farmers—Boggis, Bunce, and Bean—set out to capture him, resulting in a thrilling showdown between humans and animals. This comedic stop-motion animation highlights the unique style of director Wes Anderson and the charismatic voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and many more.
