Fantastic

Director/screenwriter Wes Anderson and co-screenwriter Noah Baumbach have adapted Roald Dahl's classic children's book for the screen and have created an utterly charming film, as entertaining for adults as it is for children-- perhaps even moreso. Those familiar with Anderson and Baumbach's previous work (most notably "Rushmore" and "The Squid and the Whale", respectively) will feel right at home with this quirky cast of characters even if they are stop-motion animated anthropomorphized animals. Definitely worth owning. The clever writing and interesting visual style make this film worth repeat viewings.

9/10
