Introduce your little ones to Wes Anderson’s whimsical world with his stop-motion animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox in a comfortable, relaxed environment.

In the English countryside, the Fox family live a simple and happy life, but Mr. Fox is always dreaming of more. Breaking a promise to his wife, he begins a scheme to steal from local farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean, to provide a higher standard of living for their family, including his son Ash and nephew Kristofferson. But when this goes badly wrong, the whole wildlife community is forced into hiding.

Adapted from Dahl’s classic children’s novel from 1970, Wes Anderson brings the story to life with his recognisably quirky style in a beautiful stop-motion world. Featuring music by Sheffield’s own Jarvis Cocker.

Westival 2025 is Showroom Cinema's full retrospective of the director’s cinematic works across two all-day events on 4 and 18 May. All tickets £6.
