Edit This is the story of Mr. Fox and his wild-ways of hen heckling, turkey taking and cider sipping, nocturnal, instinctive adventures. He has to put his wild days behind him and do what fathers do best: be responsible. He is too rebellious. He is too wild. He is going to try "just one more raid" on the three nastiest, meanest farmers that are Boggis, Bunce and Bean. It is a tale of crossing the line of family responsibilities and midnight adventure and the friendships and awakenings of this country life that is inhabited by Fantastic Mr. Fox and his friends.

View content advisory » Edit During the battle in the town near the end of the film, we see the signs of several businesses. One sign, "Dutronc Detective", is in the same shape and neon style as a well-known sign in Paris, "Duluc Détective". As
Wes Anderson directed much of the film from Paris, it is certainly possible that he saw this distinctive sign and wanted to reference it in the film. The name references
Jacques Dutronc, French musician and actor.

Mr. Fox:
What'd the doctor say?
Mrs. Fox:
Nothing. Supposedly it's just a 24-hour bug. He gave me some pills.
Mr. Fox:
I told you, you probably just ate some bad gristle.
