In the sense that Fox is totally like the rest of Anderson's films, and Wild Things is totally like films from the Jonze/Coppola/Gondry/Kaufman world, neither of them are unique.

Whop, no. Where the Wild Things felt totally different in style from the rest of Jonze's work. It shared a lot of the naturalism, but it was totally different in almost every other way. Fantastic Mr. Fox is very much in keeping with everything Anderson.

Have you seen the "Human Behavior" video?

I'll take both of these over anything Disney's churned out in the past 25 years.

Both Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King are much better than either Where the Wild Things Are or Fantastic Mr. Fox. It's really not even a contest.

Haven't seen the Fox yet, but it'll take a lot to beat the Wild Things for me.
