The Fantastic Mr Fox

Yesterday morning while I was enjoying my tea and toast, I came across the T4 Movie Special for The Fantastic Mr Fox.  Rick Edwards is possibly the single most annoying presenter I have ever watched, but other than that it was good to catch a few snips of how they made such a large scale stop frame animation.  Wes Anderson's adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic looks impressive.  The painstaking and precise nature of the hand crafted sets and figures is stunning.  Each so detailed and versatile in their movement and expressive abilities.  It was also fascinating to see how Anderson steered away from recording studios and vocal boothes, moving out into the open to create an air of 'humanity' and a feeling of 'naturalism.'  I really enjoyed the footage of the actors acting out their parts, eating and rolling around as is animated for us.  I noticed that this is on at the Cornerhouse, think I might have to squeeze this in!
