If you ever need a boost of serotonin, especially in the fall, this book is literally screaming at you to read it. But the Fox isn’t really that fantastic, let’s be honest with ourselves, the solutions to his problems are so.

A tale of the farmers determination to kill Mr Fox by whatever means they can; shooting, digging him out and destroying his home or even starvation. The film's plot focuses more on Mr Fox's relationship with Mrs Fox and his son, which is pitted against Mr Fox's desire to steal chickens as a means of feeling like his natural self.

Nikakvih promena, deca obožavaju Dala i traže još jedno poglavlje i još jedno i još jedno sve dok roditelj ne baldiše. I mean, it's not just theft and murder we're talking about -- but the full-on drunken debaucheries of the proletariat. The film adds scenes before Mr Fox attacks the three farmers and after they bulldozed the hill, as well as a slightly altered ending and more background on Mr Fox's past life as a thief of food. Dahl's publishers in the United States, France, and the Netherlands declined to incorporate the changes.

Tobias Picker adapted the book into an opera which had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Opera performing 9–22 December in 1998.

Mr Fox dug three tunnels, to each of the farm’s cellars and managed to steal all he could to feed all the animal families! On the way to their next destination, Mr Fox runs into his friend Badger and asks him to accompany him on his mission, as well as to extend an invitation to the feast to the other burrowing animals - Badger and his family, as well as the Moles, the Rabbits and the Weasels - to apologize for getting them caught up in the farmers' hunt. Here, they are nearly caught by Bean's servant Mabel and have an unpleasant confrontation with the cellar's resident, Rat.
