Wes Anderson Thanks Critics in Stop Motion

Published by Jeff Leins on January 14, 2010

The National Board of Review recently named Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox the best animated film of 2009.  At the awards ceremony, Anderson made a speech using the same stop motion techniques used in the film and then went on stage to thank them in person.  It’s a creative little move and a classy way to show his appreciation.

On the other hand, George Clooney worked blue at the New York Film Critics ceremony, introducing Anderson with cuss-filled hilarity.  Both videos are embedded below.
