|Based on the 1970 children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl, Wes Anderson's first animated film stars Mr. Fox - an anthropomorphic red fox who used to steal farm birds for a living - growing bored of the domestic life. He decides to get back into stealing birds with the help of a meek opossum named Kylie, but his attempt at one final big heist brings three farmers - Boggis, Bunce, and Bean - to target Mr. Fox and his family, and he has to enlist the help of his friends and family to fight back against them. On one hand, while Wes Anderson's style of dysfunctional family shows up here, Mr. Fox ultimately loves his family and would do anything for them, even willing to sacrifice himself to save his nephew when he's captured by the farmers. Mr. Fox also deals with the consequences of his thieving ways and vows to make it up to everyone, showing that in spite of his arrogance, he wants to do right by those he's loyal to and admits that he had been in the wrong. On the other hand, the farmers appear to be capitalists since the store that the animals take food from belongs to the three of them. Mr. Fox's son Ash is also said to be "different", possibly referencing being gay or transgender, with Beaver's son even mentioning that Ash dresses like a girl.

On the other hand, the farmers appear to be capitalists since the store that the animals take food from belongs to the three of them (Roald Dahl had refused to put this in the book when he was alive, saying that it would be too easy of a solution for the animals, as well as concerned that it would teach kids to steal). Mr. Fox's son Ash is also said to be "different", possibly referencing being homosexual or transgender, with Beaver's son even mentioning that Ash dresses like a girl.
