“Fantastic Mr. Fox” is a magical mixing of two distinctly ingenius sensibilities. Marry the dark “scare the little darlings” playfulness of children’s novelist Roald Dahl to the quirky, comic warmth of filmmaker Wes Anderson, assign it to ever-so-patient British masters of stop-motion animation, and what you get is a movie of whimsy, wit, warmth and wackiness, a Dahl parable (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) brought to animated life.
