What I love about movies as meticulously detailed as Fantastic Mr. Fox is how they invite diving to greater depths on repeated viewings instead of wading around in the shallow end of the kiddie pool. Like opening an intricate puzzle box we can peel back layer after layer and the complexity just keeps unfolding. I stood in Borders a couple of weeks ago engrossed in the coffee table book about the making of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Today we get an exclusive first look at the newest of several fascinating featurettes Fox Searchlight has made available for those of us who can’t get enough of this suave hand-crafted charmer.
For further Fantastic details, you can dig into The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox, published by Rizzoli.
