Fantastic Mr Fox is Wes Anderson's 2009 stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl's story about a clever fox outwitting three farmers. Its distinctive visual style, dry humour and memorable score helped it become a lasting favourite with film fans and online creators. Short clips from the film circulate on soundboards and in edits because they carry instant recognition without needing a long setup. The fox's sly, confident character keeps the sound useful for jokes about cunning plans, escapes and getting away with something.
