★★★★ – “In Fantastic Mr Fox, the world itself seems just a little bit weird, but gloriously so.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“In some ways Wes Anderson’s most fully realized and satisfying film.” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times

On Sunday, October 20th, our Family Fall Fun Day culminates with a special screening of Wes Anderson’s beloved animated feature, Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), ideal for families with kids ages 8+.

This whimsical, stop-motion adventure tells the story of Mr. Fox, a clever and charming hero who outwits local farmers to protect his family and community. Full of wit, heart, and Anderson’s signature visual style, this film is a perfect family favorite that will enchant both children and adults alike. 

Leading up to the screening, the fun continues with a range of interactive, fox-themed activities. Kids can let their creativity shine as they craft their own fox masks or try their hand at fox-themed origami. Local performers will also guide children through playful, animal-inspired activities, where they can channel their inner fox with stretches, movements, and imaginative games. 

With engaging activities and an unforgettable film, the Fantastic Mr. Fox screening is the perfect way to cap off Family Fall Fun Day. It’s a full day of entertainment, creativity, and fun for the whole family, celebrating both the magic of movies and the excitement of fall.
