The Fantastic Wes Anderson

I must have had a deprived childhood because I don't think I've ever read any of Roald Dahl's children stories. I've read his twisted murder short stories like Lamb to the Slaughter but I must confess I've never read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach or Fantastic Mr. Fox. One of my favorite director's Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited) has decided to make a stop motion animated movie out of Fantastic Mr. Fox. It looks very cool, different and very un-kids movie like. Which is a good thing in my opinion.
