      Fantastic Mr. Fox is on the run! The three meanest farmers around are out to get him. Fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don’t know is that they’re not dealing with just any fox–Mr. Fox would never surrender. But only the most fantastic plan ever can save him now.

      Fantastic Mr. Fox is a comic animated movie that emphasizes the importance of change in life. Despite being a wild animal, ordinary Mr. Fox alters the course of his life and his family to become Fantastic Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox turns out to be extremely successful and happy by combating his own nature and nurturing his talents and behavior. The film is intended to teach us that in the dichotomy of nature vs. nurture, the latter plays a much more significant role in determining one’s fate. For this reason, this great movie is aimed at instilling existentialism into the minds of its viewers.
