Fantastic Mr. Fox - 2009


The film Fantastic Mr. Fox is the latest stop-motion film that has been released to cinemas worldwide. It was not produced by the infamous Aardman studios but in fact by Regency Enterprises. It is a very good film and one that doesn't get boring. I sat and watched it fascinated by the way the stop-motion was been produced, knowing in my head the way that the production of the film took place makes me amazed at how long people have taken to make films like this. I like the design of the film as well, it's very traditional and has a rustic feel about it. The character voices were filmed on location with the actors acting out the movements of their characters, the producers did this so that the voices would sound more real, I think it comes across really well in the film. Other popular stop-motion films include Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas which was released in 1993, and more recently Aardman's Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005.
