Me and the Fantastic Mr. Fox

I saw this taxidermy fox a few days after seeing The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Great movie, by the way, and very cleverly executed. Even the departures from the book felt like things from other Roald Dahl books. It was also very funny; all four of our boys really enjoyed it and they range from 5 years old up 13 years old. Their grandmother took all of us to see the movie over the Thanksgiving break. I haven't been to a movie in a coon's age, so it was a great treat. Anyway, hope you guys all had good Thanksgivings too.
