Fantastic Mr. Fox {directed by Wes Anderson}

loveddddddddd it! 
 clever, humorous, and neat animation {oldest animation styles of all -- stop motion - something like an old fashioned slide projector}.

features some great actors voices - George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson {to name a few}

see, slowly getting around to catching up on movies that were up for Oscars, typically i see them on a long flight...this one was up for Best Animated Feature Film of the Year

here are a couple of trailers of the movie you can check out ;-)

{note: mute the tunes on the iPhone at bottom of blog first ;-)}
