10	----
11	* TenMinuteRetirement: For two years (twelve fox years), Mr. Fox was (moderately) content with his life writing newspaper columns. However, when he decides to move his family to a bigger house and sees the three farms outside his window, he starts stealing livestock again.
12	* TheAce: He's known as ''Fantastic'' Mr. Fox for good reason. The film shows him to be cunning, intelligent, charismatic, a master thief, and, according to Coach Skip, the best athlete in the local school's history -- to the point that Ash really shouldn't bother to compare himself to his father. This is {{Deconstructed}}, as the film shows that it's impossible for him to live up to his own curated reputation; many (fox) years of trying has only given him severe self-esteem issues, which he passes onto his son.
13	* AffectionateNickname: Mrs. Fox and their friends call him "Foxy."
14	* AlliterativeName: The school's records indicate his name is F.F. Fox.
15	* AppealToInherentNature: His only half-hearted excuse for his selfish and reckless behaviour endangering his family is the same simple warning he gave to his wife years ago: he's a wild animal.
16	* BadassBoast: "Your tractors uprooted my tree. Your posse hunted my family. Your gunmen kidnapped my nephew. Your rat insulted my wife — and you shot off my tail. ''I’m not leaving here without that necktie''."
17	* CharacterTics: Whistles and clicks his tongue as his "trademark".
18	* CunningLikeAFox: It's downplayed, but he's actually very intelligent. He knows the Latin names of all but one of the main characters' species, speaks at least some French and plans his escapades like a ChessMaster.
19	* FantasticFoxes: An otherwise normal fox with the ability to talk and walk on two legs.
20	* FatalFlaw: His refusal to listen to the advice of others.
21	* GlasgowGrin: [[spoiler:The scar given to him by his wife looks like this in some shots.]]
22	* HappilyMarried: For all the hardships and trouble they have to face, Mr. Fox loves his wife dearly and is willing to do anything for her.
23	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[spoiler:He may not look it, but Mr. Fox has self-esteem issues. If he doesn't have everyone thinking he's "fantastic", he feels like there's nothing to him.]]
24	* InkSuitActor: Basically George Clooney as a fox.
25	* ItsAllAboutMe: It's no wonder Wes Anderson directed the adaptation; as a character Fox is not unlike many other egotistical antiheroes in Wes Anderson movies, and his character development turns on even being able to admit that he's wrong.
26	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has a hard time listening to others and has on various occasions gone behind his wife's back to get back into the feel of robbing. However, he loves her and the rest of his family and friends very much and is more than willing to risk his own life to save theirs.
27	* LoveableRogue: He’s a thief, but his kind, charismatic personality makes him likable.
28	* OffTheWagon: Actually stated by Mr. Fox when he's apologizing to his wife about stealing birds again.
29	* PapaWolf: He's overall a very mellow guy, but you don't want to mess with his family. When he returns to the sewers and finds Rat trying to kidnap his son, he immediately gives him a vicious fight that ends in his opponent getting electrocuted to death.
30	* ThePromise: Mr. Fox swears to Mrs. Fox that he'll find another line of work if they escape the trap they find themselves in at the movie's start; he ends up breaking it and goes back to stealing farmer livestock.
31	* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:Mr Fox's tail becomes detachable, permanently. Also the cut Mrs. Fox gives him that remains throughout the film.]]
32	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Kylie's Sensitive Guy.
33	* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Fox's fur is red so he technically counts for this trope.
34	* SmallNameBigEgo: He's an local newspaper columnist, and perpetually frustrated that nobody reads his column, and, in general, feels a need to be perceived as "fantastic", or he doesn't feel good about himself, even before he's done anything particularly heroic.
35	* TooDumbToLive: Mr. Fox gets carried away sometimes, edging into this trope.
36	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has lupophobia (fear of wolves) and gets apprehensive at the mere mention of them.

44	----
45	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the book, Mrs. Fox had no issue with her husband stealing from the three farmers, and in fact was ''encouraging'' of it, since the food he brought back was to provide for the whole family. Here, Mrs. Fox immediately tells Mr. Fox that she wants him to find a new line of work the second they get caught in a trap, and in her own words "loses her temper" when she finds out he's been stealing livestock again behind her back.
46	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Partly. Though it made her regret marrying him, Felicity can't help falling for his "fantastic" wild animal nature.
47	* AlliterativeName: '''F'''elicity '''F'''ox.
48	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She ''viciously'' scratches Mr. Fox's face after it's revealed that he lied to her.
49	* GoodParents: Mrs. Fox is a good mother, handling Ash's moods very well, though she has moments where she must warn Ash to mind his tongue.
50	* TheConscience: She acts as the voice of reason and conscience to her husband's more reckless ways.
51	* MamaBear: When Ash is being kidnapped by Rat, Mrs. Fox shows a courageous motherly attitude, even to the point of using violence to protect her son, if necessary.
52	* MyGirlIsNotASlut: Heavily implied that before she settled down with Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox averted this, though the situation is implied to be more complicated.
53	-->'''Rat:''' She was the town tart in her day. Wild and footloose and as pretty as a mink stole...\
54	'''Kylie:''' Is that true?\
55	'''Mr. Fox:''' No. I mean, she lived, we all lived. It was a different time. Let's not use the double standard. She marched against the-\
56	'''Kylie:''' The town tart?\
57	'''Mr. Fox:''' Shut up.
58	* NamedByTheAdaptation: Mrs. Fox has Felicity as her first name in the movie, whereas the book didn't give her one.
59	* NiceGirl: She is cautious and responsible in her personality.
60	* OneTrackMindedArtist: All of Mrs. Fox's paintings involve stormy weather (usually lightning, but in one instance a tornado).
61	* OnlySaneWoman: In the opening, Mrs. Fox suggested the smartest routes that would get her and Mr. Fox to the birds faster.
62	* SmurfettePrinciple: The only one of the main characters who's a female.
63	* StacysMom: Some of Ash's classmates have commented on her attractiveness.

71	----
72	* BrattyHalfPint: To Kristofferson at first, even though Ash is older.
73	* CharacterTics: Twitches his ear and/or spits when aggravated.
74	* DudeLooksLikeALady: He wears a feminine sweater and a cape made of lace. Also, when his father is talking about his mother being pregnant with him, Ash awkwardly points out that the baby could have been a girl. He even has markings on his fur that resemble eyeshadow or eyeliner, and when he has a lipstick-looking grape juice smear on his mouth in the ending, he looks completely feminine.
75	* EmoTeen: Before the CharacterDevelopment.
76	* ExpressiveEars: His ear wiggles whenever something bothers him.
77	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Wears white underwear with the red dots when he's not wearing his usual cape, pajamas and socks tucked into his pajama pants.
78	* GreenEyedMonster: The main reason for his initial dislike of Kristofferson is because he’s taller and more athletic than him, and everyone, including his father, describes him as a ''natural''.
79	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not nice to Kristofferson at all and is clearly going through some stuff, but warms up to and apologizes to him at the end.
80	* {{Kiai}}: Ash lets out such noise when he whacks down the handle of the door keeping the rabid dog at bay, setting it free on Bean and his posse.
81	* KubrickStare: He does this at one point in the sewers while Mr. Fox talks to him. It is quite unsettling.
82	* NamedByTheAdaptation: In the book, none of Mr. Fox's children ever had names. Here, his one son is named Ash.
83	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Ash's hare-brained scheme to steal his dad's tail back causes Kristofferson to get kidnapped, which only makes things worse when Bean floods the underground area the animals are in with cider to separate them further.
84	* PetTheDog:
85	** When his jerkish behavior towards Kristofferson actually causes him to break down in tears early in the film, Ash gets out of bed and turns on his train set, sitting next to his cousin as they watch it go round and round.
86	** When Ash later goes to rescue his cousin from Bean's attic during the film's climax, he gives him a genuine apology for his terrible behavior towards him. Kristofferson is genuinely touch.
87	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's one of the cutest characters in the film in spite of his personal problems.
88	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]], to say the least. See Kristofferson's folder.
89	* SuperHeroesWearCapes: His white outfit with a towel cape seems to be based on the White Cape comics he's seen reading.
90	* TookALevelInBadass: When Mr. Fox is intimidated by Bean's MoreDakka, Ash bravely goes out dodging all the bullets with Whack-Bat moves before unleashing the rabid beagle dog against the humans themselves, thus allowing the escape for his dad and the others. It's this particular moment that finally makes his dad openly proud of him.
91	* TheUnfavorite: Ash considers himself this, seeing himself inferior to his athletic and more popular cousin, and his father's attitude towards said cousin doesn't help.
92	* WellDoneSonGuy: All he ever wanted was his father's approval.
93	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Ash enjoys wearing a feminine wool sweater and a lacy cape.

99	[[caption-width-right:300:''"I must say, I'm pleased to be invited but I'm not sure I should be doing this, Uncle Foxy."'']]
100	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricChaseAnderson
101
102	Kristofferson is Mr. Fox's nephew (from his wife's side) and cousin to their son Ash. He stays with his aunt and uncle due to his father having double pneumonia.
103	----
104	* TheAce: To put it simply, he's a ''natural''.
105	** Compared to his uncle, he almost [[ReconstructedTrope Reconstructs]] the trope by showcasing that someone with immense natural talent and charisma can still be kind, modest, and fundamentally good-natured (even if he uses his gifts to semi-reluctantly assist his uncle's thieving escapades). Although, the fact that Kristofferson is almost oblivious to how much better he is than everyone else drives a huge wedge between him and Ash.
106	* BadassAdorable: It turns out that on top of being a skilled diver, prodigious whackbatter, eligible bachelor, [[TheAce etc. etc.]], he's also a karate master, as he demonstrates on one of Ash's bullies.
107	* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being the ''younger'' cousin, Kristofferson beats up a bully who was messing with Ash.
108	* BigLittleBrother: Noticeably taller and more mature than his older cousin Ash.
109	* BrutalHonesty: Tends to do this sometimes.
110	-->'''Ash:''' ''(After Kristofferson fights off a bully for him)'' I can fight my own fights.\
111	'''Kristofferson:''' ... No, you can't.
112	* BullyHunter: When one of Ash's classmates starts to make fun of Ash to Kris, Kris warns him off saying he doesn't like bullies. Later, when that bully tries to take his frustrations out on Ash, Kris beats on him until the bully runs off crying.
113	* CanonForeigner: Kristofferson never appeared in the book, being created specifically for the movie adaptation.
114	* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
115	* MeaningfulName: His last name, "Silverfox", references his gray/silver fur.
116	* NiceGuy: A consistently polite person, who at one point states he hates being dishonest to people.
117	* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Out of the entire cast, Kristofferson is the only one to wear shoes.
118	* PrettyBoy: Kristofferson is somewhat like [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom the fox version]] of this.
119	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] like crazy. Ash and Kristofferson practically take turns being the sensitive one to the other's manly man. Kristofferson is a polite, soft-spoken pretty boy, and meditates hours a day, but he also knows karate and he's extremely athletic. On the other hand, Ash is more emotionally delicate, border-line cross-dresses, and is described as "just different", but he also spits constantly, chases Agnes and strives to be the better athlete and earn his father's approval. Character development rounds them both out.
120	* WaifFu: He knows karate and is shown to be very skilled in it, in one instance using it to defend his cousin.

129	* CanonForeigner: Kylie never appeared in the book, being created specifically for the movie adapatation.
130	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Perhaps the most blatant example of several.
131	* GenderBlenderName: Though almost unheard of as being used for males.
132	* HiddenDepths: He apparently qualifies for ''incredible'' credit scores on his card because of how reliably he pays his bills.
133	* MisplacedWildlife: A North American opossum in what appears to be the English countryside.
134	* NiceGuy: Mr. Fox basically calls this out as his special talent in the "Latin names" scene.
135	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Mr. Fox' Manly Man.
136	* ThousandYardStare: Kylie occasionally goes into some kind of semi-catatonic state when other people are talking to him, signified by his eyes becoming like black-and-white dartboards and his lack of verbal response for a few seconds.
137	-->'''Mr. Fox:''' ...Are you listening to me? I look into your eyes and I can't tell whether you're getting anything I'm saying.\
138	'''Kylie:''' ''(Shrugs slightly)''

149
150	Mr. Fox's attorney, and owner of the flint mine.
151	----
152	* AdaptationalJerkass: In the book, Badger and Mr. Fox were genuinely loyal and friendly to one another for the entire adventure, and never once had ill feelings for one another. Here, Badger is significantly more unpleasant to Mr. Fox for the most part, often putting him down for his poor decisions and at one point getting into an animalistic snarling match with him. That said, they still work together well, and Badger even shows sympathy for Mr. Fox losing his tail.
153	* HiddenDepths: In Badger's office, he has a picture of a group of badgers in soldier uniform. Badger's skills with explosives might come from this military heritage.
154	* MadBomber: Becomes one during the climax, though he admits to having experience in demolition.
155	* MrExposition: He gives the description of the main antagonists.

157	* UndyingLoyalty: He is very loyal to Mr. Fox, who considers him to be his best friend.

166	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WillemDafoe
167
168	Hired by Bean as his Secret Cider Cellar security guard. Maybe.
169	----
170	* AdaptationalBadass: In contrast to his [[DirtyCoward wimpy]] nature in the book, Rat proves to be one of the best fighters in the entire film, being able to go toe-to-toe with Mr. Fox with a hostage in hand, and is able to push past Stan Weasel and a chain-wielding Mrs. Fox with no trouble at all. The only reason Rat loses both fights he participates in is due to the environment around him.
171	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the novel, Rat is cowardly, ruder and a reclusive drunk. He also had no connections to Bean, other than just living in his cellar. In the film, he and Mr. Fox have history, wields a switchblade and works for Bean as a guard of his cider. Rat is also sexist as he regards Mrs. Fox as the town tart "back in the day". He easily gets past Mrs. Fox and Weasel to kidnap Ash but is stopped by Mr. Fox after putting up a decent fight against him.
172	* TheAlcoholic: Rat ended up getting so addicted to Bean's cider that he decided to take up a job protecting it.
173	* BadassFingersnap: He's overly fond of using this to draw attention to himself.
174	* TheDragon: Fills this role for Boggis, Bunce, and Bean after they flush Mr. Fox and the other animals into the sewers.
175	* DeathByAdaptation: He got away clean in the book, where his last scene is him screeching at Mr. Fox and Mr. Badger for stealing the cider as they leave. The movie gives him a HighVoltageDeath while [[spoiler:fighting Mr. Fox]].
176	* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:Discussed, even though Rat redeemed himself in the end by revealing the location of Kristofferson, his redemption was only seen by a handful of people and everyone else will still see him as the villain because he died before he could fully atone.]]
177	-->'''Mr. Fox:''' [[spoiler:Redemption? Sure. But in the end, he's just another dead rat in a garbage pail behind a Chinese restaurant.]]
178	* EvilSoundsRaspy: As is typical for Creator/WillemDafoe.
179	* GettingHighOnTheirOwnSupply: Or in this case, drunk. Rat's EstablishingCharacterMoment has him taking a sip of some of the cider that he's supposed to be guarding, and apparently drank enough of it to degrade his appearance if Mr. Fox's words are anything to go by.
180	* HighVoltageDeath: [[spoiler:Rat ends up getting electrocuted while battling Mr. Fox in the sewers. Though he hangs on long enough to taste what he thinks is Bean's finest cider, and to tell Mr. Fox where Kristofferson is being held.]]
181	* {{Hypocrite}}: In the book, he shrieks at Mr. Fox and Mr. Badger for being thieves and burglars when they steal a few jars of cider, even though he's doing it himself.
182	* IWorkAlone: Unlike the other henchmen the three farmers have, Rat always goes after Mr. Fox and company by himself. Likely justified, as he's the only animal in the film that's in league with Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.
183	* LonersAreFreaks: In the words of Mrs. Fox, he's a psychotic rat.
184	* NearVillainVictory: He likely would've gotten away from the other animals with Ash in tow if Mr. Fox hadn't shown up to confront him.
185	* PetRat: Taken quite literally. Rat gladly serves Bean despite being an animal (and a species that's considered a vermin no less) and the man has even tailored him a "Bean Security" badge for his shirt.
186	%%* PsychoForHire:
187	* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Given that Rat TOWERS Mr. Fox in height, one must assume that he's an unusually big rat.
188	* SinisterSwitchblade: His weapon of choice.
189	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Rat seems to consider himself this, though how much the third requirement (or the first) actually applies is questionable.
190	* VerbalTic: As fond of similes as a pig is fond of mud.
191	* WouldHurtAChild: Rat's more than willing to kidnap Ash and take him to Boggis, Bunce, and Bean without a second thought.

281	Three farmers that soon become antagonistic towards Mr. Fox after he steals from them. They are the main antagonists of the film.
282	----
283	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book, they are described as three of the ugliest and filthiest people ever. Their film counterparts are more decent looking for middle-aged men, with Boggis looking the most orderly.
284	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, in that they are more friendly with each other rather than arguing.
285	* AdaptationalVillainy: Also downplayed. While they still went to extremes in the book, Mr. Fox had been robbing them for years. In the film, they gain an unhealthy obsession to kill him after he robbed them exactly once each.
286	* TheAlcoholic: Although he never appears drunk, Bean drinks a lot of the strong alcoholic apple cider he produces, with Badger saying that he lives on a liquid diet.
287	* BaldOfEvil: Bunce and Bean are both bald up top, although Bunce mostly hides this by wearing a hat.
288	* BerserkButton: Bean does not like the idea of giving up against a fox.
289	* BigBad: Bean is clearly the leader of the three, and is much more intelligent, competent and intimidating than his cohorts.
290	* BigBadDuumvirate: Well, ''Triumvirate''. Despite Bean being the most antagonistic, in the eyes of the animals, all three are their greatest enemies.
291	* BigEater: In the book, Boggis eats 9 chickens every day. Three for breakfast, three for lunch, three for supper. The film adds three more accounting for dessert, bumping it up to ''12'' chickens per day.
292	* BigThinShortTrio: Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one fat, one short, one lean).
293	* DepravedDwarf: Bunce is described as being around the size of a potbellied dwarf and his chin would be underwater in the shallow end of any swimming pool on the planet.
294	* {{Determinator}}: They really want to kill that fox. [[spoiler:First they tried ambushing him with firearms, digging under the hill with pickaxes and shovels, bought construction vehicles to uproot the tree, detonated hole they dug with construction vehicles, called all 108 men under their farms to lay siege to the hill, and then flooded the animal's burrows with apple cider to flush them into the sewers, took Kris hostage, Bean's security Rat attacks the protagonists in the sewers, and ultimately try to stop Mr. Fox back at Bean's own farm before they escape. The trio finally seemed to give up at the end, but they are anything but done, and remain vigilant for the foxes return, as shown by the news.]]
295	* DisproportionateRetribution: Farmers trying to kill a fox that steals their livestock is not an unusual occurrence in itself, but their response, which includes [[spoiler:leveling an entire hill with construction equipment, besieging its remains, and flooding the remaining tunnels with apple cider]], is absurd overkill to an insane degree.
296	* EvilSmellsBad: With his keen sense of smell, Mr. Fox can easily smell them out and run if they're too close. Boggis reeks of rotten chicken skins, Bunce stinks of goose livers, and Bean is always surrounded by the fumes of apple cider. Heck, Bean is the smelliest of the trio since he's never bathed in a long time and his hearing is bad due to earwax clogging his ears.
297	* FatBastard: Boggis. He is described to be as heavy as a young rhinoceros. The film shows his weight to be 339 lbs.
298	* FlatCharacter: In the film, Boggis and Bunce who receive very little characterization and even fewer lines. They really just act as Bean's cohorts, agreeing to him, and acting as allies to pool their resources toward a mutual goal.
299	* GargleBlaster: Bean's apple cider is described as "a homebrewed fiery liquor that burned in your throat and boiled in your stomach." It's also ImpossiblyDeliciousFood, and Badger says it's like drinking melted gold, sunbeams and rainbows all at once.
300	* GrossUpCloseUp: In the montage introducing the farmers, Boggis' feet are shown when he's standing on a scale, showing them to be veiny, warty and with cracked yellow nails.
301	* HairTriggerTemper: Bean trashes an entire trailer when he finds out he's been outsmarted by Mr. Fox.
302	* {{Hypocrite}}: Amusingly, despite Bean considering Mr. Fox and his family to be disgusting animals for stealing his produce, he has no problem with hiring a ''literal rat'' to guard his cider, and has no issues with him drinking the stuff while on the job.
303	* InformedFlaw: Badger, in addition to calling them the meanest and the nastiest, he also calls them the ugliest farmers in the history of the valley, when in all honesty, they don't look too much of an eyesore and actually look rather distinguished, especially compared to how they look in the book. Them being mean and nasty is true, though.
304	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Downplayed with Bean. When he first suggests to Boggis and Bunce that they kill Mr. Fox, he demonstrates some impeccable aim with his pistol, shooting out a bug zapper, porch light, and three faraway street lights in a matter of seconds with no missed shots. Of course, when it comes time to actually aim at Mr. Fox, he and the others only manage to shoot his tail off.
305	* InkSuitActor: In the movie, Bean looks a lot like Michael Gambon, only skinnier.
306	* JabbaTableManners: Averted with Boggis. While he hits a number of the common tropes being a VillainousGlutton and FatBastard who is snacking most of the time, he's not shown to be a particularly messy eater especially when compared to the animalistic sloppy eating of the protagonists.
307	* JerkassHasAPoint: Although they may have gone overboard, they weren't wrong in trying to get Mr. Fox, since he was stealing from them.
308	* LeanAndMean: Bean never eats any food at all and subsists entirely on his homemade apple cider. In both the book and the film, he's said to be "as thin as a pencil".
309	* MasochistsMeal: Bunce's food of choice is donuts filled with a paste made of mashed goose livers, which gives him "a tummy-ache and a beastly temper."
310	* MoreDakka: The amount of ammunition they shot at the fox in the film is uncounted for.
311	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The book simply refers to them by surname, while the film adds given names: Walt Boggis, Nate Bunce, and Frank Bean.
312	* TheNapoleon: Zigzagged with Bunce. He is described as being so short, "his chin would have been under water in the shallow end of any swimming pool in the world". Despite that, he's also TheStoic.
313	* PlaygroundSong: The local children made up a rhyme about them that stuck. "Boggis, Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean."
314	* TheStoic: Bunce maintains his sour expression throughout the movie. It's especially noticeable when Bean realizes they've been outsmarted and starts wrecking their trailer in a tantrum. Boggis is surprised at the outburst while Bunce is just sitting unmoved waiting for the Tantrum to subside.
315	* TerribleTrio: They are played like this, with Bean being the BigBad, and Boggis and Bunce his sidekicks.
316	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Boggis - boiled chicken smothered with dumplings[[note]] TheMovie varies this up by also including roast chicken, fried chicken and yakitori skewers[[/note]]; Bunce - homemade doughnuts with smashed up goose livers injected into them; Bean - strong alcoholic apple cider.
317	* UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness: According to the narration, [[HatesBaths Bean never bathes]] ("he never even washed"), and he's hard of hearing because his ears are clogged with residue. (The other two are probably unhygienic too; Mr. Fox says in an early chapter that he can smell them so easily because they stunk.)
318	* VillainSong: The PlaygroundSong mocking them appears repeatedly throughout the soundtrack, even getting a full orchestral backing and children's choir in the climax, making this their {{Leitmotif}}.
319	* VillainousBreakdown: Bean's reaction to finding out Mr. Fox stole all his food is to trash his caravan. He then goes outside and likely would've gone on to destroy more stuff if he didn't see his cider making machine, and get an idea...
320	* VillainousFriendship: Only in the movie, in the book they can't go a minute without arguing with each other.
321	* VillainousGlutton: Boggis and Bunce (arguably Bean, as he drinks a ''lot'' of cider), but especially Boggis, who eats three boiled chickens for every square meal of the day (plus dessert).
322	-->"That's twelve in total, per diem."
323	* WeaponBasedCharacterization: All three wield weapons that obliquely allude to their personal attributes: Bean carries a Luger pistol, which is skinny and long much like himself. Boggis is armed with a double barrel shotgun, a large firearm fit for someone accustomed to excess. Bunce carries a long range hunting rifle to accommodate his own small stature.
