The Mirror

"Yes, Fantastic Mr Fox is clever. But it is also a rather slight film that you smile at rather than really enjoy."

Channel 4

"A Wes Anderson joint first and foremost, with Dahl running an extremely poor second."

Guardian Online

"Wes Anderson gets his eccentric groove back on with a witty and likeable movie for little kids and their hip older siblings."
