remembered that I watched this a while back after using the soon-to-be-released “featuring my favorite actors” and “featuring my favorite directors” charts filters !!!
…. this thing is a huge part of the reason I thought I didn’t like wes anderson before watching fantastic mr fox — it’s an expensive baby sensory video
the wikipedia page for this project makes all too much sense — after seeing the commercial success of fantastic mr fox, netflix buys the rights to the roald dahl story company and hires wes anderson to start making a series of netflix-exclusive short film adaptations of roald dahl’s other works. unlike fantastic mr fox, this is truly a painting for children with no soul
yes, the screenplay is written by wes anderson, so it’s still his twist on it, but here we can see the difference between “i am an artist and have been thinking for decades about how to adapt and expand one of my favorite childhood stories” and “a company approached me to direct something in line with market standards which I would have otherwise not have been inspired to create”
tell me I’m wrong if you have some insider information about how this project came about, but on this fateful afternoon i saw this listing in the flick charts and was reminded of the raw boredom i felt for the entirety of its 39 minute runtime
thus, I must do my part and move this thing down in the rankings
wouldn’t recommend this to anyone over the age of 4
