FANTASTIC MR.FOX. The voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman in Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated version of Roald Dahl’s 1970 children’s book about a nice, settled, middle-class fox who just can’t help stealing chickens. “At last—a movie that lets kids and their larger megaplex escorts think they’re being deliciously wicked without actually doing a single thing wrong. Here, courtesy of director Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl’s original book, is a family film with some genuine tang and more than a little sophistication to it (just enough for the little ones to think they’re getting away with something by watching it). But the film causes delight, not delinquency. And, to put it mildly, that can’t always be said for a lot of the previously delinquent, narcissistic movies for grownups [by] Anderson.” 87 minutes. (Rated PG for some action, smoking and anti-social ideas.)??? (Jeff Simon) Opened Wednesday in area theaters.
