Cocker will reportedly provide the voice for Petey, a mandolin-strumming puppet that closely resembles him.

He has contributed a "little hoedown number" to the project, he told the newspaper.

"I did a narration bit at the start of '... Mr Fox', too, but they showed that to test audiences in the US and they were very bamboozled. So I've ended up on the cutting-room floor. I tried to enunciate clearly!" he is quoted as saying.

Apparently FMF is going to be one of the opening films of The Times BFI London Film Festival.

Very interesting when you consider who one of the programme advisers for the BFILFF is...

It might be even more interesting if you told us who! (Sorry if the answer is a bit obvious)

Does anyone know if this went ahead?

The trailer for the fil can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJbY3QrIifE but no sound of Jarvis as far as I can see/hear ?

Seems odd that discussion of Fantastic Mr. Fox on this board ceased right around the moment of it was released... you would think people would have thoughts on it. Unless you all disliked it so much that you didn't want to say anything about it at all.

Well, I saw it, and I thought it was great. As I predicted, Jarvis only has one line, plus the song. Not that it mattered. I don't really like Jarvis in films.

The movie is probably best described as an animated redux of The Royal Tannenbaums... with animals. So, your opinion of Mr. Fox will likely reflect your opinion of that other Wes Anderson movie.

The bits you have seen are pretty much it.

As usual, I much prefer the book....

But that said I want a Petey (Jarvis) puppet as well.
