Fantastic Mr. Fox on DVD

We picked this up this week,because we love this movie. I highhly recommend the movie. But what I wanted to recommend is the “Making of…” extras. It is truly amazing how this movie was crafted, which kind of makes me more disappointed that it lost to “Up” for Best Picture, but that ship has sailed.

The entire movie is essentially hand-crafted, the sets are amazing, the props ridiculous in their detail and the puppets are so detailed and beautifully created that it is truly a wonder. On top of that of course is that the movie is itself fantastic (pun intendd). Anyway, watch the movie then watch the extras. It is very much worth it.

Thanks for the heads-up. Far and away my favorite animated film of 2009 (with Coraline a close second), I was hoping the DVD would be generous in the detailing of the production itself. I’ll have to look it up…
