Fantastic Mr. Fox Blu-ray Movie Review by Blu-ray.com

Fantastic Mr. Fox Blu-ray Movie Review
A Cussin’ Masterpiece

Reviewed by Brian Orndorf February 13, 2014

When most directors repeat themselves, it’s typically a sign of artistic exhaustion or perhaps unshakable fixation. In Wes Anderson’s case, his visual repetition has become an irresistible thumbprint, and one of the great moviegoing joys I’ve encountered in recent years is the opportunity to watch this supremely gifted filmmaker use his leather-bound imagination to impart varying stories of eccentric outsiders and their enduring emotional wounds, with each picture connected by exotic aesthetic degrees of detail-oriented splendor. Now Anderson takes his cinematic language to the hand-woven field of stop-motion animation for “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” and, yet again, the helmer shapes a breathtaking cinematic marvel; he finds a magnificent home nestled firmly in the lush textures of the animation, the dancing vocal performances, and delicious wry tone that makes for stunningly fanciful cinema.

Taking a day job as a newspaper columnist to support wife Felicity (voiced by Meryl Streep) and son Ash (Jason Schwartzman), Mr. Fox (George Clooney) has grown tired of suppressing his animal instincts. Planning to infiltrate the chicken and cider farms of the feared Boggis, Bunce, and Bean (Michael Gambon), Mr. Fox and opossum partner Kylie (Wallace Wolodarsky) spring into action, finding the thrill of the steal irresistible. When the heavily armed Bean vows revenge on Mr. Fox, the gruff corporate farmer tears the countryside apart looking for his sly enemy. Digging into the ground, Mr. Fox drags the locals into the fight, leaving the wolf-fearing hero responsible for the community, pushing him to come up with a plan to outwit the unrelentingly combative humans.

Emerging from the divine mind of author Roald Dahl (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “James and the Giant Peach”), “Fantastic Mr. Fox” offers Anderson a hefty slice of whimsy to work with. The filmmaker sticks surprisingly close to Dahl’s plot, showing enormous reverence for the author’s dark tones and natural animal behaviors. Where Anderson’s imagination deviates from Dahl is in the neurotic delivery.

Taking idiosyncratic motifs established in such pictures as “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” to the family film arena, Anderson unveils a sure gift for the genre. That’s not to suggest the helmer has watered down his sense of mischief to make a PG animated feature; in fact, “Fantastic” retains a nice edge — think “Wallace and Gromit” but with flicked cigarettes, dance parties, shoot-outs, and severed fox tails. Anderson conforms to the softer side of the material, having the characters cuss by actually stating the world “cuss” when the mood strikes, and investigating young Ash’s malformed sense of purpose, aggravated by the appearance of cousin Kristofferson (Eric Chase Anderson), a fox of the same age who can do no wrong.

Anderson, scripting with Noah Baumbach, leans into the merry attitude of Mr. Fox, arranging an adventure effort teeming with the sort of frame minutiae the filmmaker is well known for. The world of stop-motion animation only emboldens Anderson’s design fetishes, indulging in this vast world of miniature animals living in miniature homes, fitting Dahl’s characters for new clothes and a hipper soundtrack (which includes The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and “Love,” a cut from the other major fox family film, Disney’s “Robin Hood”), taking his primary colored American Empirical conceptualization to an exhilarating level of visual elasticity and creativity. The animation is stunning to behold, not only for its playfulness and brilliant fluidity, but also for the soft fur textures of the characters, which almost require a reflexive reach toward the screen to sate curiosity. It’s 3-D with 2-D tools, molding a resplendent storybook visual handle to a clever, urban comedy. The ornate decoration goes beyond the animals to the entire “Fantastic” world, teeming with design particulars that will require weeks of study, just to digest how much wit and affection Anderson has crammed into the vast corners of this outstanding picture.

Clooney’s spirited voice work pulls “Fantastic” in a few unexpected directions, humorously teetering between Mr. Fox’s domesticated leadership skills and his feral nature, typically unleashed around food and homestead containment. Anderson’s stocked the rest of the roles with a dynamic range of vocal personalities, with Streep offering a velvety counterpoint to Clooney’s gravely enthusiasm, and Schwartzman and Anderson enjoying the battle of popularity and Whack-Bat skills as the disgruntled child and his more Zen relative. Anderson’s even called in a few favors from old friends (Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Brian Cox also appear) to help personalize the piece.

Sean Connery is James Bond

I can’t get enough of the Sean Connery James Bond movies. Don’t get me wrong I like pretty much all the Bond films but the Connery ones are, in my opinion, the best.

Alien Anthology 6 disc Blu-ray Set

Source: Blu-ray.com
Alien Anthology (1979-1997)
Brace yourself for a whole new breed of Blu-ray: Four powerful films…eight thrilling versions…in dazzling, terrifying, high-def clarity with the purest digital sound on the planet. Two bonus discs and over 65 hours of archival and never-before-seen content, including the totally immersive MU-TH-UR mode feature, makes this definitive Alien collection!

Get ready for the most thorough, encyclopedic, exhaustive collection of Alien-related supplements imaginable. If you’re familiar with the Alien Quadrilogy DVD release, you’ll find all of that material ported over here—Easter eggs, too—along with brand-new “Enhancement Pods” that feature almost five hours of additional material exclusive to this new Blu-ray set, including more behind-the-scenes footage, raw dailies, and interviews. The LaserDisc supplements are here as well, and—David Fincher fans take note—Wreckage and Rage: The Making of Alien 3 has been restored to its original run time. (For the 2003 DVD release, 20th Century Fox controversially cut out sections about Fincher’s struggles with studio intervention.) All told, there are over 60 hours of special features and an unbelievable 12,000 images, from storyboards and sketches to production stills and cast portrait galleries. The sheer amount of material is overwhelming—literally, it would take days to view it all—but Fox has put together an easy-to-navigate menu system that makes accessing the bonus features a breeze. Which brings us to the following:

MU-TH-UR Mode

MU-TH-UR Mode is the Alien Anthology’s interactive BD-Java-powered “experience.” If you turn the mode on while watching the films, an interface appears, partially covering the left side of the frame. From here, you can switch between audio stream content (commentaries and isolated scores) and view the “Weyland-Yutani Datastream,” a glorified trivia track of compiled production notes, anecdotes, and film facts. The main purpose of MU-TH-UR Mode, however, is the “data tags.” I’ll explain. As you view the films, you’ll see a list of special features—pertaining to the specific scene you’re watching—appear on the MU-TH-UR interface. Clicking on a feature creates a “data tag,” which can be recalled when you boot up discs five or six, where most of the supplementary materials or stored. Basically, it’s a way of personalizing and keeping track of what special features you want to watch. While the interface is indeed slick, there are two problems here: 1.) If you’re like me, when you watch a film you like to, you know, watch the fim, not keep track of a list of bonus materials, and 2.) Most fans will want to hit up all of the supplementary materials eventually, making MU-TH-UR Mode seem a bit redundant. The menu system for discs five and six is extremely intuitive, and viewers will have no trouble casually browsing or looking for something specific. There’s even an alphabetical “Datasearch” option, which lets you look up bonus material by topic and then choose from detailed sublists describing all available content. Still, MU-TH-UR Mode is there for those interested. Now, let’s get on to the real show, what’s on the discs themselves:

A Note on the Packaging
The packaging is exceptionally sturdy and very sleek, starting with the thick cardboard slipcover that holds the set together. Inside, you’ll find what I can only describe as a dense cardboard book, with a heavy duty cover and 11 pages made from 2-3 mm cardboard stock. Each disc slides into a semi-circular slit in its respective page; the fit is snug, but the discs are easy to remove and replace, so I don’t foresee any damage from accidental scratching. The pages between each film are adorned with artwork and the back page has a folder for the “MU-TH-UR Mode Viewer’s Guide.” Fingerprints show up easily on the glossy black slipcover, but otherwise, I have no complaints. The discs are safely housed, the case has a satisfying heft, and the art design is simple and iconic. Overall, this is one of the most well-constructed multi-film Blu-ray box sets.

Disc Unbound
If you’re having an Alien Anthology marathon, you’ll definitely appreciate this feature, as it drastically cuts down on the load time between discs. Here’s what the included leaflet says:

“Navigating the multi-disc experience of the Alien Anthology is made even faster with a revolutionary, seamless “unbound” experience that bridges your viewing between discs. Upon ejecting any disc in the anthology, a Weyland-Yutani corporate logo will appear if your player supports this feature. You may then insert another Alien Anthology disc in the set to continue your experience right away. You will bypass the standard logos and disclaimers and jump right back into the action with the Alien Anthology disc you’ve just inserted. To terminate your Alien Anthology experience, just press STOP on your remote to clear the screen and return to the player’s menu, or you may choose to shut down your player.”
