Fantastic Mr. Fox
When this movie first hit theaters my friend Rod littered Facebook with different articles, pictures, and links full of information about this movie. Why? It's because the movie was made by Rod's favorite director and in his opinion the only director who really matters, Wes Anderson.
After having watched the movie:

I was so excited about watching the movie that I ended up buying it on a whim one day. It actually turned out to be one of those movies that I know I'm going be able to pop in and watch repeatedly. I didn't realize though before watching the movie that it was stop-motion animation and what the story was about even for that matter. Despite the fact the movie is an animation, you can smell Wes Anderson all over the movie. Throughout the movie there are a lot of wide shots and big sets, like in Life Aquatic and the movie has a vintage edge in the same way that The Royal Tenebaums had a vintage edge.
Final thoughts: I liked the movie a lot. It was a little long like the majority of Wes Anderson's movies, but it's one of those movies you can pop in and watch while working on a jigsaw puzzle. You don't have to give it all of your attention to follow the movie and it's entertaining enough to keep on in the background.
