I have to come out with it. The first trailer for The Fantastic Mr. Fox didn't exactly do it for me. Sure, I laughed a couple times at the film's dry humor, but I just couldn't get into the stop-motion visuals. The film's second trailer, however, not only claims that Fox is on par with Pixar movies, though it's not even the same medium, but also looks so, so much better.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox Trailer
Mr and Mrs Fox (Clooney and Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristopherson (Eric Anderson). But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr Fox’s wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground and with not enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers - Boggis, Bunce and Bean - who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr Fox at any cost.
