Watch this video which shows how the creators of the film got their ideas: Instead of trying to negotiate (or even work for a living), the Fox family makes a run for it and they end up endangering all the animal families that live in the hill, the Badgers, the Weasels, the Moles, the Rabbits, etc. Their homes and children are at risk.

Badger is another character who lives under the ground. He and his family are negatively affected by the farmers waiting for Mr. Fox to come out of the hole, so Mr. Fox invites them to the feast he is organizing with the farmers' food.

In 2011, Richard Corliss of Time magazine named it one of "The 25 All-Time Best Animated Films". [38] Awards [ edit ]According to Time, the film is "both a delightful amusement and a distillation of the filmmaker's essential playfulness" [32] and was one of the ten best films of the year.

According to Landesman: Soon after the Foxes move in, Felicity's nephew Kristofferson Silverfox comes to live with them due to his father receiving long-term medical treatment for double pneumonia. While Mr. and Mrs. Fox welcome him, Ash finds this situation intolerable, as his soft-spoken cousin is superior to him at almost everything and is charming everyone at his expense. Longing for his days as a thief, Mr. Fox and his opossum friend Kylie, the superintendent, steal produce and poultry from Boggis and Bunce's farms. They take Kristofferson along on the raid on Bean's cider cellar, which deepens Ash's resentment. Mr. Fox conceals these outings from Felicity, who becomes suspicious when unexplained food appears in their larder. Fantastic Mr. Fox". British Board of Film Classification.
