My name is Alex Mirabella and I have added a section regarding the personnel for the soundtrack. I understand that Wikipedia warns against adding the personnel for a film's orchestra but the film did not utilize an orchestra. I understand that the songs by Georges Delerue utilized an orchestra but the recordings for these songs were already existing. Please allow the soundtrack personnel to appear on this article as it does not go against any rules previously written for this site. I just wish to inform people of the musicians who helped in creating the soundtrack. Alex Mirabella —Preceding undated comment added 18:43, 12 May 2012 (UTC).
While I don't doubt that the plot as it is given on this page is accurate (I live in California), I was reading through it and it seems to be, in form, very different from other Wikipedia film article plot summaries. For example, character quotes are interspersed throughout the summary: Just like this except it's something you've never seen before in a Wikipedia article!. (talk) 07:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
The plot needs to specify a key detail. Around the middle, it is said that Mr. Fox's house is in a tree. It then goes on to say that that said house goes under siege by the antagonists, and that the family escapes by digging. Given that the house is in a tree, it needs to be specified what exactly is happening here, to avoid confusion.— Dædαlus Contribs 07:15, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Nevermind, I misread and misunderstood what the original writer meant by in a tree. To this end, I have altered the text to make this more apparent.— Dædαlus Contribs 07:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
The scientific names used in the movie are incorrectly formatted. "The genus name is always written with an initial capital letter. In current usage, the specific name is never written with an initial capital. For example, the entire tiger species is Panthera tigris" [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.156.65.58 (talk) 11:35, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that the top critics at RT have given this film 100%, which is higher than UP's rating. Many other film articles note the Top Critics response in their reception section so it would not be out of the ordinary. Jack mcdowell (talk) 17:19, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
The box office numbers seen on this article need to be updated. The total grosses of this movie are as of now $41,026,048. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andulias (talk • contribs) 11:22, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
In the chase/fight scene near the end the main theme from "A fistful of dollars" is playing. Then a chorus of children start singing the names of the three villains to the tune. If you read the credits at the end its listed with the rest of the music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.198.28.65 (talk) 21:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Should this article state how the film differs from the book on which it is based? At present, the book article contains such a section - but as that is the original work, I suggest it belongs here. Achillea (talk) 22:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
I am reading this article after watching the film. This article would be much more useful to me if it compared the film to the book. -96.237.4.73 (talk) 15:29, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

There is no reason to repeat the names of the cast in the plot, because that's what the cast section is for. By the same token, there is no reason to repeat plot details in the cast section, because that is what the plot is for. This is just unnecessary repetition that serves no useful purpose. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:18, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
I'm only going to put back some details not all.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 00:51, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
How is this (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fantastic_Mr._Fox_(film)&diff=828683438&oldid=828483802) a cast and plot bloat?
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 09:52, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
With all due respect and no rudeness meant, may I ask what are the concerns now?
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 07:29, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
But that does not mean they do not have value even if some fail to see it.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
In case you did not notice I have tried to take into account what others have been saying. In the most recent revision I performed I took out the parentheticals. So it is not like I am not trying to compromise at all.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 00:58, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
"But at this point you should be running text past us first,": Do you mean yourself and "TheOldJacobite"? Forgive me but you are starting to sound as though you have authority here when you do not thus you sound rather arrogant in your way of speaking.
"...not plugging it in and then hoping nobody will object to it.": I would agree with that point post the last revision I created.
"You know there's at least two editors contesting your changes,": I am definitely aware of that.
"so you shouldn't be changing the article until this discussion has run its course.": Well where are we with the discussion? What are the issues with the revision that I last did that you reverted?
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 05:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
The reason I am asking is because I am trying to work out what is still a problem as of the last revision I created of this article.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 06:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
I would be happy to try achieve some sort of dispute resolution but how do we do so?
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 01:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Yes I did but I am unsure about what to do from there on. Forgive me if I sound stupid.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 03:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
I have placed something on the Dispute resolution noticeboard. Was that the right thing to do about this dispute?
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 08:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
In terms of what was stated on the Dispute resolution noticeboard, specifically "No other editor expressed an opinion to the contrary, and despite some effort by me to discuss why the edits weren't improvements AA continued to express confusion and potential WP:IDHT problems, and thus we find ourselves here.", I have some things to say: "No other editor expressed an opinion to the contrary,…", true but we (myself, yourself (Doniago) and TheOldJacobite) have yet to get any other editors seriously involved yet. "...and despite some effort by me to discuss why the edits weren't improvements AA continued to express confusion and potential WP:IDHT problems,…", You have not explained what was still a concern as of the last revision I created so of course I am still confused. How am I expressing WP:IDHT problems? ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 02:06, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
To TheOldJacobite:
"Well, the fact that this discussion is still going on, a full month after it started, is a good indication you are not hearing our comments and responses to your edits and to your questions here.": Or it could mean that I simply disagree and are trying to get some clarity on this matter.
"How much clearer can we make it?": Frankly, a lot.
To Doniago:
"AAA, if you want to continue the discussion, it's on you to get other editors involved, as you attempted to do by opening the DRN case.": Fine.
"Jacobite and I clearly feel both that there's no significant merit to your proposed changes and little point in continuing the discussion, so why would we make the effort to involve other editors?": Maybe I am imagining it and if so I apologise but it sounds like you do not want to have to accept that perhaps your view is not the most valid or accepted one?
"Also, I have repeatedly said that I didn't feel any of your changes were improvements.": You have not fully explained why.
"How is any of that unclear to you?": You (neither of you) have fully explained why.'
"Frankly I think you're being pointy and should drop the stick now, and I may not respond to further comments that appear to be an effort to continue beating a dead horse rather than a clear effort to move this along.": How am I being "pointy"? Why should I drop it? So you don't have to accept that your view is not the most potentially correct one? How is trying to gain understanding beating a dead horse? Does a clear effort to move this along mean just agreeing with you?
"Jacobite and I have tried to work with you on this, and I at least cannot understand why you are having trouble understanding what I believe to be clearly-worded statements.": Is it trying when one refuses to explain to another where there is a source of concern and treating them as though they are being deliberately troublesome or stupid? They are not fully explained statements.
"Bluntly, I'm only responding now because I see the DRN case was closed and felt you deserved a response in light of that.": I will say thank you on that count.

Was this (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fantastic_Mr._Fox_(film)&diff=829186844&oldid=829161433) still a cast and plot bloat? ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 23:51, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
