This is followed by an 11-minute feature called Discussion and Analysis. Silly me was actually thinking this might be a serious feature and it’s not entirely. It feature two children, Jake Ryan and Jeremy Logan (students of film) who talk about the film, calling it “awesome” and “hysterical” and pointing out things like the characters “act like ninjas” sometimes. They compare the film to the source and explain that they like the film more because it has “more stuff” in it. Amusingly they also get into the moral implications in having a thief as the film’s hero, among other things. It can be both funny and obnoxious and the feature will probably require a high tolerance for “cuteness” to enjoy it.

The epoxy resin mold for Badger, which is baked for three hours at 195 degrees Fahrenheit (90 Celsius). If all goes well, you're left with a foam latex duplicate of the original plastiline sculpt of Badger. 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. Even though they were less than a quarter-inch in diameter, the eyes, which were made of resin and painted, were relatively simple.

Criterion then includes the wonderful 61-minute BBC documentary Fantastic Mr. Dahl. Through interviews with surviving family members it offers a rather extensive portrayal of the author and the many ups and downs throughout his life. It covers his loves and marriages, and the tragedies that occurred throughout his life, the death of his daughter Olivia from measles being the most traumatic from the sounds of it. It looks at his work and the various influences, and how he wrote to appeal to children. It’s a rather thorough and engaging documentary, filled with quite a few surprises and doses of humour (like an archival interview with the author where he recalls his first sex-ed class.) A rather wonderful inclusion on Criterion’s part. As the farmers wait for the animals to come out of the manhole, the animals settle into their new homes in the sewers, inviting any other animals to join them. Soon after, Fox (sporting the tail as a clip on) raids a supermarket owned by the farmers, where Felicity reveals her upcoming pregnancy as the animals dance in the aisle, celebrating their abundant new food source.
