The Moment: Anderson introduces Fantastic Mr. Fox's trio of antagonists, the farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean, with a spectacularly madcap song and dance number. Altogether now, "Boggis and Bunce and Bean, one fat, one short, one lean…"
The Music: Alexandre Desplat's original score comes into its own here, with a choir of children manically chirping about the respective physiques of the three villains. Listen to it once and be prepared to have it buzzing around your head for the rest of the day…
Why It's Great: Anderson manages to capture the sing-song nature of the book in great style, with this toe-tapping ditty. Amid the Beach Boys and Rolling Stones numbers, its good to see him taking steps to integrate plenty of the anarchic fun of the source material.

Gwyneth Paltrow is rubbish in everything, she doesnt so much act ,as turn up and read lines. Just goes to show you can buy an Oscar if your parents are connected.

You missed this one: "you were in Nam?" "yeah" "Where you in the s**t" "Yeah, you could say I was in the s**t" Male bonding at its finest

Funny, I just mentioned the Gwyneth P scene scored to Nico's 'These Days' in a piece I did on Moonrise Kingdom. That's a helluva scene. You missed one from Life Aquatic - I'm not sure what music it was scored to but Ned sees the little 'copter formerly named Jacqueline on the submarine deck, and asks "What happened to Jacqueline?", and Steve replies, "She didn't really love me."
