| − | |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 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; he also fights his former partner-in-crime Rat to the death when the latter threatens his son and acts lecherous to his wife. 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 (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. | + | |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.

| − | |Despite saying the F-word in almost every sentence, the film (surprisingly) has a pro-Christian message as after being shot at, every bullet misses mob hit men Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega. Winnfield believes it was a divine intervention and message from God to stop his life of crime. His partner doesn't believe this but it's later proven to be true as he perished later on in the movie. Also has sadomasochistic homosexuals as the bad guys. And (sort of) has an anti-drug message as mob boss's girlfriend Mia Wallace is seen also overdosing (a negative side to drugs) on heroin. | + | |Despite saying the F-word in almost every sentence, the film (surprisingly) has a pro-Christian message as after being shot at, every bullet misses mob hit men Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega.

| − | |Portrays the liberal [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a villainous and devious agency, and portrays the Government in general as intrusive and corrupt, and also features a key element of the story where Homer attempts to redeem himself of his more unpleasant nature, and Flanders' attempts at helping the Simpson family, in particular Bart, are treated positively. On the other hand, it also promotes [[environmentalism]] in the beginning, and also had Arnold Schwartzenegger as the president of the United States despite his legally not being eligible for the presidency due to being Austrian. There is also a brief sight gag where two homosexual policemen proceeded to make out in an alley by the motel the Simpson family was hiding at, with Marge narrowly escaping being spotted by them. In addition, the early part of the film has Homer twice making statements that implied a more atheistic outlook relating to Christianity: The first just as the Simpsons arrive at Church while running late where Homer mouths off "Relax, those pious morons are too busy talking to their phony-baloney God."; the second when Abraham Simpson ends up getting a divinely inspired vision about Springfield's potential future, where Homer, consulting the bible in a panic, yells "I can't! This book has no answers!" Overall, it's as debatable in terms of its Conservativism as the TV show it acted as a movie for. | + | |Portrays the liberal [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a villainous and devious agency, and portrays the Government in general as intrusive and corrupt, and also features a key element of the story where Homer attempts to redeem himself of his more unpleasant nature, and Flanders' attempts at helping the Simpson family, in particular Bart, are treated positively.

| − | |Although it overall depicts the Military in a protagonistic light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America." In addition, to reinforce Verhoeven's message, he deliberately modeled various scenes after ''Triumph of the Will'' and other pro-Nazi propaganda scenes, as well as modeled the protagonists' uniforms after the uniforms utilized by the Nazis (i.e., the character Carl, played by Neil Patrick Harris, wearing a uniform that was modeled after the [[SS]]). When asked by Michael Ironside, who was one of the people who had a role in the movie and had read the original book, about why he made the movie despite Verhoeven's leftist politics, he answered "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing ******* bugs!" (note that fascism is not "right wing", it is left wing, so Verhoeven's incorrect regarding which wing the Nazis/fascists were part of). | + | |Although it overall depicts the Military in a positive light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America."
