Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! See you next for another surprise movie!!
Is the surprise movie Puss In Boots: The Last wish, Osmosis Jones,or Smurfs:The Lost Village?
I hope 🤞🏻 it’s Stuart little 2.
Star Wars The Prequel Trilogy
@@lexramstudios1386 Yes! I’ve been waiting to see those!
Could you do Puss in Boots: The Last Wish? I heard it’s out now!
39:17 it's the whole reason Wes Anderson wanted to make the movie.
It was essentially Fox finally accepting he is not a wild animal, upon being confronted with what he can never be, and by extension what he never really was.
It was by Fantastic Mr. Fox that I started to realize: directors like Steven Spielberg and Wes Anderson have such a clear and unique understanding of writing and depicting kid characters. Just like adults, they get angry, jealous - but they don't want to stay that way, that's why they make up so fast but not by saying sorry, sometimes it's simply by inviting another to share a favorite toy - like Ash and Kristofferson with the train set.
If you've seen the Fabelmans, you have some kind of idea why that is for Spielberg.
What? I grew up saying sorry as a kid (I hated it lol). I guess it depends on where you're from.
Also, by Wes' constant use of "Cussin'" as all-purpose generic PC mumble-core profanity, he doesn't really know how to write scripts without it, ans...really doesn't have the slightest CLUE how to step out of his own ornamental quirky-indie box and do films for actual families.
To know that, he'd have to enjoy a few of his own, but that would involve simulating actual human behavior.
@@memorylayneeeit depends on trauma and everyone's own mentality. ash obviously feels a bit overlooked and lashes out as a result, and when kristofferson shows up that is released as jealousy.
@@DYDYBEEBEE Yes but he's old enough to say sorry. I was like 4 when I had to say it.
I love the animation, characters, and especially the humor of this movie so much. My favorite line has always been:
"Why did you take your shoes off?"
"So I don't break your nose when I kick it."
The best thing for me is the way they deliver their lines in this film. No one ever raises their voice, and there's something charming about that. Also, be honest, who else wanted to try goose liver donuts after watching this?
All of that credit goes to the fact that none of this was in a recording booth!
They're all on location talking to each other, specifically so it can feel like genuine dialogue!
Fun Facts:
It was nominated for two Oscars, Best Animated Film and Best Original Score for Alexandre Desplat. Both awards went to Up.
The director, Wes Anderson, went on to make another stop-motion film, Isle of Dogs, which was nominated for the same two awards.
The recording of the voice lines is unique in that, instead of sound booths, everyone’s lines were recording in actual locations like in houses, outdoor fields, etc.
Which leads into this little tidbit: The plane with the banner that flies by during the whackbat game? That was because the best take they had for that seen had a motorboat in the background, so they just incorporated the sound into the movie. Gives it that extra spontaneity. ❤️
Voice cast in the movie: George Clooney as Mr. Fox, Meryl Streep as Felicity Fox, Jason Schwartzman (who you might know recently as Jasper from Klaus) as Ash, Bill Murray as Badger, Willem Dafoe as Rat, Owen Wilson as Coach, and Michael Gambon (the second Dumbledore) as Frank Bean.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of only a few animated films to be included in the Criterion Collection, an organization devoted to the restoration and distribution of films. A few other animated selections include Watership Down, Fantastic Planet, and WALL-E.
I think the whole wolf thing is symbolism. Wolves and foxes are canids, very different but still the same in a lot of ways. I think he fears wolves because they’re the true embodiment of what it is to be a wild animal. When foxy finally accepts that at the end of the day, they’re all wild animals he no longer fears the wolf. He respects the wolf, honours the wolf and wishes it luck on its journey. Making peace with himself is making peace with the “wolf” that’s inside all wild animals.
Fun fact: Bean's head was modeled after _Fantastic Mr Fox's_ author, Roald Dahl. Dahl himself said he was inspired to write the story, when he remembered finding a family of foxes living in a burrow, under a peach tree near his childhood house.
Really? I thought he was modelled after Michael Gambon, his voice actor?
I recently developed a fixation on this movie, and every single time I watch it it just gets better. This is a movie that I've decided to make a fall tradition movie. I'm just such a sucker for this whole film
The VAs didn't record their lines in a sound booth for this movie, instead they did so on location while interacting with each other
I love Fantastic Mr. Fox! it's another one of the few stop motion films i actually like! both the voice acting and animation is just astounding!!!
39:18 Actually, the wolf represents pure, unbridled, rugged and wild power. Mr Fox tries to communicate with it but realises that being wild is not for him and is best left to the wolf.
30:15 William Defoe didn't just voice the Rat, his movements are based off of him!
The tiny splash is actually how Competitive Diving works, the smaller the splash, the better the score.
I remember seeing this on a Saturday afternoon matinee with a group of moms and kids who, being normal people, had never heard of Wes Anderson, but naively thought this would actually resemble a Roald Dahl adaptation. You can guess the mood in the theater.
The kids were mostly puzzled, but giggled every time the possum's eyes glazed over, and the moms' eyes had glazed over well before. 😶
Haven’t seen all of the Wes Anderson movies yet but I absolutely love his style ❤
Oh my gosh yes! This movie is one of my faves, such surprising depth and charm just drips out of every frame!
I used to love this one when I was a kid
First time I saw it was when I was 7, and I’ve been watching this for about 10 years this year. Brings back some good memories.
The dry humour is one of the best things about this movie!
I love Fantastic Mr. Fox and its beautiful animation, Wes Anderson did brilliantly making this story into a fun film to watch and the characteristics are so good.
Loved the reaction Nick!
Fun fact: The music in this film was composed by Alexander Desplat, who also wrote the music for the Harry Potter films (except the first 3 which were composed by John Williams).
First video of 2023! Can’t wait to see what other videos you have planned for 2023! And I hope you had a Happy New Year Nick!
The entire newspaper at the beginning is covered in excerpts from the book!
By the way, this is based on a book of the same name by Roald Dahl. The same guy who made the stories of 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory' and 'James and The Giant Peach'.
"Apple juice... apple juice flood...." LOL my favorite character.
Thanks so much for reacting to this, it was a great watch - my brother and I love it. 😊
This is one of my favorite movies! I'm so glad you reacted to it! Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺
So glad you reacted to this its been one of my favorite movies for as long as i can remember
Glad you reacted to this movie, it's one of my favorites.
OH MY GOODNESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION FROM YOU !! have a great weekend nick! thanks for the video :)
I first heard about this from Roald Dahl's book so I knew the story before watching the movie, so I think that's why I connected with it more, but every time I watch it, I enjoy it, its just charming I think 🥰 great reaction Nick!
Yay!! I'm glad you reacted to this one, I'm a sucker for stop-motion!
If you liked the visuals in this movie, you'll be blown away by *Isle of Dogs*
I truly enjoyed this movie. I hope that you come back again soon.
Congratulations💕💕 you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prizě
Anyone else notice helicopter above bunk bed is T.C.'s from Magnum P.I.? Nice!
Yay, I love this movie! Thanks for this video Nick.
Fantastic Mr Fox is my childhood movie. So glad you reacted to this.
Love your videos! Wish you nothing but the best!
Can you react to these movies
- The Angry Birds Movie
- Wish Dragon
- Vivo
- The Secret Life of Pets
- Good Burger
- Spies in Disguise
- DC League of Super Pets
- Minions 2: The Rise of Gru
This movies gonna become a cult classic I can just feel it in my bones. It’s already super nostalgic. I already know Nick is gonna LOVE this one, haven’t watched it yet but I know it 😂
Awesome movie, great film and great book based of. Have you seen a movie called Mouse in my house? Is a comedy movie about two brother who lived in there father old mansion and they to get rid a mouse who is like a Tom and Jerry clone.
31:52 I forgot they included a Beach Boys song in this movie. Plus, all movies that Wes Anderson directed, including this one, mostly have a character, setting and background centered.
I used to watch this when I was little, and it is still one of my favorite movies🙂👍
Happy Valentine’s Day Nick.😇
I remember watching this movie as a kid and I didn’t get it, i remember it also got to be a bit scary for me, but now that years have passed I should watch it again to change my mind XD
I’m new here, but I’m glad you use captions.
"What's in the bucket Mr.Kylie?"
O.O
"See,with his eyes open like that?...Kylie...KYLIE!"
"Why is your cousin such a wet sandwich?" XD
"You're supposed to be MY lab partner..."
"I am..."
"No you're not. You're disloyal...." XD
(Weasel is voiced by the director, Wes Anderson).
Love Kylie's thousand yard stare(and when he gives the little hand signal to make it clear he's still listening).
Wes Anderson's movies are so good consistently. If you haven't, definitely suggest seeing "the Royal Tenenbaums", "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", "Isle of Dogs"(similar stop motion animation)and "Grand Budapest Hotel". All great.
This was interesting, thanks for doing it! I never knew what this was about.
You should really react to Isle of Dogs it's directed by the same person who did Fantastic Mr Fox!
Another movie I was hoping you'd watch. I love this film. It's my favorite animated movie.
Great reaction as always Nick! If I may, I’d like to recommend a movie! The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. It was made in 2011 if I remember and it’s such an epic movie with action, detective work and pirates!
Fantastic Mr fox reminds me of Zootopia and beastars for some reason I can see Mr fox as a anime character
22:34 Yeah, it’s because he is voiced by Bill Murray.
One of the great things about this film is that you really don't know where it's going to go next. In this, it reminds me of some of the best works by Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.
Hey Nick another great video!
If you or any of your viewers liked this movie, I definitely recommend Wes Anderson’s other films. I love his films, and they all have this similar quality like this movie does, and I enjoy them.
I will say that most are more for adults, but good stories.
The style of this movie is amazing, very wonderfull movie.
You are by far my fav UA-camr man are you based in Canada?
Feeling threatened by someone who's cooler and people like more naturally is a special kind of hurt, feeling like you're not good enough for your own friends and family sucks. I feel for ash
I love this movie I seen this at the cinema because of its style
I think like Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio or Pixar’s Ratatouille, despite the more mature themes, it can still be entertaining to kids (or at the very least intriguing due to how unusual it is). It’s a very strange tone that is quite difficult to explain. But I love it. ^-^
One of my favourite movies
What happened to your more recent videos?
Nick, I dunno where you've gone but I do miss seeing you! (still asking for Once Upon a Forest and I guess also Fern Gully now...)
and also one that's in danger of just not existing anymore on the internet at all if you don't do it... The Magic Voyage
Good fun! One of the big jokes you probably missed will become apparent if you watch Oceans Eleven (and its sequels), which is a brilliant movie itself.
Your the best Nick, your cool and funny I subscribed to to, and it will be forever
Hi, I love your sincere and often emotional movie reactions. There are TWO Disney movies I highly recommend: 1. SPLASH (this movie made Tom Hanks into a star in the early 80s) and the second Disney movie I recommend is NEVER CRY WOLF (an award-winning movie, which last time I checked had a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes). If you decide to react to them, I recommend streaming them somewhere else besides "Disney Plus", because both movies are edited there for children. I can guarantee you will love both movies.
THIS IS THE MOVIE I WANT TO FIND WHEN I WAS A KID
YES I LOVE THIS MOVIE
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES
28:04 that entire waterfall is made from cellophane and tinfoil!
Nick I am begging you watch the movie the grand Budapest hotel! You would absolutely adore that movie. It’s very emotional, absolutely phenomenal movie.
Bill Murray did a good job as the lawyer character
11:34 that's a callback to the trap in the beginning!
This time he was right!
I think this movie was more for adults than kids. I liked it.
HELLO NICK! So good to see you!
Here's a list of movies o got for Christmas:
Arsenic And Old Lace Criterion Collection
Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman
The Fisher King Criterion Collection
Jodorowsky's DUNE
SMILE
PEARL
The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen Criterion Collection
DC's BLACK ADAM
The Hallelujah Trail
TAR
Three Thousand Years Of Longing.
So great to see you too Shaine!! And that’s a great list of movies you got, can’t wait to see Black Adam and Smile especially!
2:33 the yellow mug is based off of Roald Dahls mug
As a child, the film seemed more comedic than serious to me. Perhaps because I was not familiar with the original source. Thank you for the reaction, Nick. 😀
Well, the book is a bit comedic, too, actually.
I love this movie. I find it really funny that they just use the word cuss for swears.
I enjoyed this movie and isle of dogs 🐕 with my brother.
Let me watch this video before UA-cam start acting up 😂
haha, hope not!
I love his reaction vids they motivate me to make a UA-cam channel myself someday but I'm too lazy at the moment 😭👍
this was a very good movie!!!!!!!!!
You should react to some old movies! Like: the hunt for red October, Troy, Smokey the bandit, 3 ninja adventures, and that’s all I can remember.
They are coming out with a finding marlin you should definitely watch that one that would be another good one it’s like the sequel to finding Dory and finding Nemo so it’s like the third movie
You should watch Moonrise Kingdom by the same director.
The jokes you claim either didn’t land or weren’t amusing - weren’t jokes. This isn’t a Marvel film. It’s just a form of subversive dialogue. Essentially wit. Also, the exchange between Fox and the Wolf was a nod towards being of the same and different. The fist raise was a hat tip towards a black power salute of unity.
There are 2 things I never understood in this movie Kylie living with the foxes and the train that keeps appearing in this movie.
I wish we could see her reaction to put some boots too. It blocks it and the comments. You always have great reactions
Congratulations💕💕 you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prizě
Yet another movie I haven't seen yet. Haven't even seen Puss in Boots. This looks like the kind of movie I think I won't like then it surprises me big time. The same thing happened with Coco and Into the Spiderverse.
Life how they dig into a gold deposit but it doesn't mean anything to them.
Still waiting for Ghostbusters 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife.
I love your reactions man! I hope youre doing well!
33:30 All of the fires in this scene are made from soap carvings and cotton!
Cool video
I loved this movie ! Could you watch tintin the secret of the unicorn it's a great underrated animation by Spielberg
❤
I love, love your reactions, but I've wondered if you've ever reacted to older films around the 50's-60s? Yea, I know the regular viewer would be like blah, boring. But these films are NOT. They are amazing and suspenseful. They are very loved. The films that I'm talking about are Wait Until Dark (1967), The Nanny (1965), and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962). They are more like suspense thrillers and will have you on the edge of your seat. If you watch Wait Until Dark, that's a movie that should be watched with the lights off.

39:04 I want to say he tried pronouncing "pensez-vous que l'hiver sera dûr?" but it sounds weird

I just discorver your channel and i am glad that you watched all the movies of my childhoob! Specially Fantastic Mister Fox and Isle of Dogs (from Wes Anderson as well)!
If i could recommand a movie, that will be : Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. It is a really overated movie... I hope you will like it!
still waiting for Despicable Me 3🙏🏼🔥🔥
Plus I know what movie you should watch next Rudolph and frosty there was like a Rudolph and frosty movie The one where they like join the circus
You should react to a 2016 family animated movie entitled "Storks"
