Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
His life is fantastic... his wife is fantastic... his neighbors, not so fantastic. The mean old farmers- fat Boggis, squat Bunce and skinny Bean- have joined forces and have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don't know is that they aren't dealing with just any old fox- it's Fantastic Mr. Fox, and he has a fantastic master plan to save the day!
