Hi.

  • Some people have found the characters to be a bit creepy. While the movie is warmly colored in Wes Anderson's signature autumnal palette, the Stop Motion animal puppets can be creepy because of how realistic they look, coming off looking like animated taxidermy. The creepy human characters, especially the main villains, don't help either.
  • Bean is outright described as "The scariest man currently alive,", and he lives up to the part. His berserking when he finds out Mr. Fox stole all his produce is terrifying.
    • Also disturbing is the scene where he digs up the Foxs' home and finds proof that the animals are not only sentient but human-like in lifestyle, then after a beat persists in giving orders to exterminate them all.
  • Bean's wife is established early on having poor eyesight. Later on Kristofferson and Ash assume that it'll be ok when she enters the room, until it's revealed she's wearing glasses now, and with a big kitchen knife in hand she goes after the two horrified kits in an eerily silent but rapid way Bates-style.
  • Rat. Or Fox and Rat's fight in the electrical storage.
  • That CUSSING POSSUM and his Dead. Hollow. Bulls-eye. Eyes.
  • The Rabid Dog's eyes turning red.
