Fantastic Mr Fox
Boggis, Bunce and Bean are the meanest, foulest farmers in the world! So when they declare war on Mr Fox, who has been stealing their chickens and cider to feed the starving animals on the hillside, they mean business! They are determined to get Mr Fox. They lie in wait outside his hole each day, crouching behind trees with loaded guns, ready to shoot, starve or dig Mr Fox out.
But Mr Fox is a crafty, noble fox with lots of little foxlets to feed, and he isn’t going to give up that easily. With the help of his friends Rabbit and Badger, he thinks up an ingenious plan to outwit their shotguns and shovels…
