Few filmmakers are better suited to the world of stop-motion animation thanWes Anderson.

Hit the jump for myFantastic Mr. FoxBlu-ray review.

The sets and puppets are jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and indeed this may be Andersons prettiest film overall.

Above all, though,Fantastic Mr. Foxis hilarious.

The tracking shots in particular are wildly impressive to behold, seeing as how they took months to complete.

Another highlight of the film isAlexandre Desplats playful and ever-so-slightly foreboding score.

Visual/Audio

The HD transfer of the film is absolutely stunning.

The audio, as well, is excellent; Andersons swell soundtrack pulses in 5.1 DTS-HD.

Final Thoughts

This film ranks towards the very top of Andersons already impressive filmography.
