I watched that movie because of all the hype that was going on around it and I have to say it was a very enjoyable film.I haven't watched many Wes Anderson films,there seems to be a bit much of a controversy around his name,everyone saying he is a "love him or leave him" kind of director.Same saying goes around for this movie.I believe this film is really overrated.Everyone goes like "This is like nothing you have ever seen before","Magnificent on both aesthetic and entertaining level" and such.Personally I don't find it that pleasing,nor unique on the aesthetic level.I am a fan of stop motion animation and I have to say that I have seen MUCH MORE better works on that field aesthetically.Damn almost every stop motion movie since Nightmare Before Christmass I have seen is better aesthetically.Nightmare Before Christmass,Coraline,Paranorman,Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run,all i consider to be a better job in terms of stop motion animation.Not even talking about Kubo and the two strings...And as far as it goes for the story and everyone talking about how surreal it is...Again Nightmare Before Christmass,Coraline and James And The Giant Peach are surreal, not Fantastic Mr Fox.It's like something we have commonly seen in plain 3d animation stories only that it has many more americanized elements and a more real feel to it.Nowhere near surreal.As long as I was watching the film I constantly had a feeling like I was watching a common American robbery movie like The gang of eleven,Now you see me and other bank robbery movies compressed into a stop motion environment.All and all,it was an enjoyable film but I don't understand the hype about it.For the people saying it's a hate it or love it film I am here to disprove them.I liked it but considering I am a stop motion fan,it was too non surreal and aesthetically mediocre to love it
