Fantastic Mr. Fox is a 2009 stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, adapted from Roald Dahl's children's novel of the same name, following a fox who returns to stealing from three farmers despite his family's wishes for a quieter life. The production applied Anderson's distinctive, meticulously composed visual style, developed in his live-action work, to stop-motion animation, using felt-covered puppets and deliberately handmade textures rather than pursuing photorealism. Fantastic Mr. Fox received widespread critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature, and it is widely regarded as a landmark demonstration of stop-motion animation carrying a strong individual directorial style.
