* TheAce: He's known as ''Fantastic'' Mr. Fox for good reason. The film shows him to be cunning, 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 impossible for him to live up to his own reputation; (fox) years of trying has only given him severe self-esteem issues, which he passes onto his son.

* 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.

** 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.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: ZigZagged 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.
