Wes Anderson Thanks Critics in Stop Motion

Published by Jeff Leins on: January 14th, 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.
