Wes Anderson’s newest stop motion film, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, has finally got itself a trailer.  The film stars George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Brian Cox and Willem Dafoe.

The synopsis from IMDB says:

Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, and all their fox babies live under a hill under a tree, along with Badger, Rabbit, Weasel, and all of their families. To make ends meet, every night, Mr. Fox steals a meal from one of the three crooked farmers–Boggis, a chicken farmer, Bunce, who has a little bit of everything but only eats duck liver, and Bean, who farms turkeys and apples and subsists solely on apple cider. With his keen sense of smell, and the farmers’ distinctive diets, Mr. Fox has no problem evading them.

I’ve never been a big fan of Wes Anderson’s films, they just seem a little too loosely put together and dependent on stupid characters saying silly things.  However, with that said I think he’s about ready to strike gold.  In the childrens genre of film I think his style is almost perfect and this trailer shows you that.  It is an amazing trailer and it reminds me of a lot of the older stop motion animated shows that I would see as a child.  Check out the production still and the trailer released below:

So what do you think of the trailer and stills for this film?
