Ever since I saw that this book existed- a scrapbook full of pictures, concept art, interviews all of my favorite movie of all time- I knew I had to get it. It's another gift that I am grateful for, and I plan on keeping this one to be a coffee table book of sorts in a future home. I refuse to not read my coffee table books. I want to be honest with my guests and read them for myself before I expect them to enjoy glancing at them. Coffee table books deserved to be loved too.
It's not a book to be heavily critiqued or studied for its amazing literature. In fact, it's mainly pictures, but there are some interesting interviews as well.
I love the movie. Fantastic Mr. Fox has been my favorite movie since I was a child, so every detail I gained about its making felt like an extra ounce of magic and love that I could hold for the film. I love hearing from Wes Anderson himself as well as even the voice actor for Ash. As they explained it, this movie made kids feel matured and adults childish. Throughout my reading, I was able to look back on watching the film, and I can agree. Growing up I thought it was so cool and mature of me to watch this kid's movie with "cussing" and a dash of violence. Now in my late teens watching the film gives me a sense of nostalgia and comfort that is very welcomed. It is a film that I think any age can enjoy.
Thank god for Disney's kindness to put this movie on Disney Plus. While I wouldn't recommend this book for anybody except diehard fans. I do recommend you all to head on over to Disney Plus and watch this film. Because it is fantastic. (ps. also read Dahl's original masterpiece)
