* At the end of the film, all the animals have been forced out of their cozy, traditional, countryside homes to begin squatting in what resemble sparse, concrete, urban housing-projects and have to get all their food from urban supermarkets where everything to eat is all processed and artificial. Sounds like most poor, urban, minority neighborhoods.

* The first time the main cast have to dig in order to escape Boggis, Bunce and Bean, Mr. Fox tries to apologize to Ash for taking Kristofferson along on a heist but not him; He finds himself mainly just talking about how great Kristofferson was at it, which of course offends Ash further.

* Mrs Fox warns Mr Fox that "this story's too predictable", which is a sign that the film will go in a different direction from the Road Dahl tale. The original story ends with Mr Fox digging secret tunnels to farms for raiding while Boggis, Bunce and Bean sit at Mr Fox's hole, waiting for Mr Fox to show himself (waiting till the end of time). The film shows that Mr Fox, though smart, can get beaten and Boggis, Bunce and Bean aren't just going to sit on their arses and wait around. Mrs Fox wasn't just cautioning her husband on his recklessness, but was giving a warning to not expect a book-faithful adaptation.
** In fact, the film uses an original draft ending that has the Foxes in a supermarket.

* Mr. Fox said that the tranquilizers were enough to [[InstantSedation sedate a gorilla]]. You're probably thinking, "But if it's that powerful, won't that KILL a beagle?" Well, considering that we don't see any of the beagles (except the rabid one) after that...
