Fantastic Mr Fox and From Paris With Love

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop motion animation; it is an adaption of a Roald Dahl adaptation. We can expect many levels of humor from slapstick to political satire. We can also expect a surreal and amusing imagination; I think the animation also echoes the unique illustrations by Quentin Blake that accompanied Dahl’s work. A happy ending is also almost certain.
The star studded cast includes
George Clooney as Mr. Fox
Meryl Streepas Mrs. Fox(Cate Blanchett was prearranged to voice Mrs. Fox but she left the role for undisclosed reasons)
Bill Murray as Mr. Badger
Jason Schwartzman as Ash
Jarvis Cocker as Petey
Owen Wilson as Coach Skip
Willem Dafoe as Rat
Brian Cox as Boggis
Adrien Brody as Bunce
Michael Gambon as Bean
As well as music written by Jarvis Cocker.
From Paris with love, plays on the action genre stereotypes. While Wax a clichéd action hero, produces classic one liners, similar to atsa la vista baby etc. He his followed by the main character, who is a office worker that is used to hold things and drive Wax places, similar to Johnny English we can expect the ridiculing of the action genre. Expect guns explosions and girls.
