After 12 years of bucolic bliss, Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) breaks a promise to his wife (Meryl Streep) and raids the farms of their human neighbors, Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Giving in to his animal instincts endangers not only his marriage but also the lives of his family and their animal friends. When the farmers force Mr. Fox and company deep underground, he has to resort to his natural craftiness to rise above the opposition. Based on the Roald Dahl children's novel of the same name, the film was nominated for two Oscars, including Best Animated Feature.
