Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) with Craft Activity
Thu 24th July 2025 10:30am
As part of our Wes Anderson double-header, join us for a wild, witty adventure with Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Anderson’s stop-motion masterpiece based on the beloved Roald Dahl book. This charming tale follows the clever and cunning Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney), who can’t resist slipping back into his old chicken-stealing ways—despite promises to his family. When his nocturnal raids draw the wrath of three vengeful farmers, a hilarious battle of wits unfolds, turning the countryside into a chaotic playground of foxholes, gadgets, and perfectly symmetrical shots.
Bursting with Anderson’s signature style—meticulous visuals, dry humor, and a killer folk-rock soundtrack—Fantastic Mr. Fox is a delightful mix of heart and rebellion, perfect for audiences of all ages. Whether you’re revisiting a childhood favorite or discovering it for the first time, this screening promises a quirky, heartwarming ride you won’t want to miss. The film also stars Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson, among many others…
