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

It’s truly insane to me how they deliver their lines with barely any cuts and no stuttering. Such a unique piece of art and would LOVE to see more of Wes Anderson’s work

another Wes Anderson masterpiece

So I put this on while eating Indian food. Upon finishing my meal I fell into the deepest slumber one could imagine. Woke up an hour later and had no idea what happened. I can’t in my good conscience give a rating due to my lack of consciousness during the film. What I did get to watch was quite entertaining. Felt like I was watching myself attempt to read a book.👍
