What kind of watch this is
Wes Anderson directed this 2009 adventure, and the film runs 87 minutes of meticulously arranged chaos. George Clooney voices the fox, Meryl Streep his wife, and Jason Schwartzman their son. The tone is dry, precise, and slightly dangerous. It feels like a heist movie trapped inside a children's book, where every frame is composed to look like a painting that is about to fall off the wall. The humor comes from the characters taking their absurd predicaments with deadly seriousness. It is a film that rewards looking closely at the background details. You will notice things you missed the first time.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 93% positive reviews as of January 2026, with an average rating of 8.1/10. Metacritic assigns it a Metascore of 83/100, signaling universal acclaim. Roger Ebert gave it three and a half stars, noting that children might find parts of it scary, which he saw as a strength. Devin D. O'Leary of Weekly Alibi called it a one-of-a-kind family classic. Not everyone was so charmed. Cosmo Landesman of The Sunday Times argued the film lacks the darker, dangerous elements of Roald Dahl’s source material, leaving him wondering if it’s time children’s films put children first.
How it did with audiences
The budget hit $40 million. The US gross was $21 million. Worldwide, it took in $46 million. In studio accounting, that is a modest win. In reality, it paid for itself and left a little change. TMDB users give it a 7.8 score. They liked the fox enough to keep the receipts.
What came next for the cast
George Clooney had just wrapped the Ocean's franchise. Meryl Streep alternated between rom-coms and indie dramas. Jason Schwartzman and Eric Chase Anderson were already deep in the Wes Anderson orbit, appearing in his projects before and after. The credits list what came next. They do not claim this film caused it. Sometimes a film is just a dot on a long, winding map.
