Wes Anderson has a unique tone and vocabulary going on in all his films and this is no different. The philosophical writing, eccentric characters and sweet soft rock soundtracks are a feature of all his work from the break out Bottle Rocket to the great Life Aquatic and not so great Darjeeling Limited. Keep this in mind if you're expecting a children's film because it's not.
Mr Fox gave up poaching when he became a father however it's in his blood and he plans one last big job with the help of his nice but dim mole friend.
