Mrs. Felicity Fox
Meryl Streep is perfect as Felicity Fox, as Mrs. Fox is both a very refined character and a hugely intimidating presence when she wants to be. This Fantastic Mr. Foxquote is a humorous one, but it only works because the audience believes that Mrs. Fox is formidable enough to truly back up the threat behind the line. She's just beginning to get an inkling of the ill-thought-out shenanigans that Mr. Fox is getting up to early on in the movie, and she does indeed let Mr. Fox have it.
Mr. Fox
In the world of Fantastic Mr. Fox, the animals use “cuss” in place of actual cuss words. This substitute was a great way for Wes Anderson to include some foul-mouthed dialogue seen in the likes of the best Grand Budapest Hotel quotesinto a family-friendly animated movie. During a heated argument with Badger, Mr. Fox says, “Are you cussing with me? Don’t cussing point at me!” Badger snaps back, “If you’re gonna cuss with somebody, you’re not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss!”
Ash Fox
Like most of Jason Schwartzman’s Wes Anderson characters, Ash Fox is hysterically short with people – especially his cousin Kristofferson (Eric Chase Anderson). The two develop a bitter rivalry after Kirstofferson comes to stay with the Foxes, and quickly reveals he’s better than Ash at everything. During his first night staying in Ash’s room, Kristofferson asks if he can move his sleeping bag slightly out from under Ash’s train set. Ash instantly reacts vindictively and says, “There’s a lot...
Mrs. Felicity Fox
After he goes back to stealing, antagonizes the local farmers, and jeopardizes the family home, Mrs. Fox is understandably furious with her husband, who promised her he’d give up crime. When Mr. Fox explains why he returned to a life of crime, he also explains the title. He needs people to think of him as “the quote-unquote ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox.’” Later in the movie, when Mr. Fox has truly become "fantastic" and saved his family and friends from Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Bunce (Hugo Guinness),...
Kristofferson Silverfox
In a desperate attempt to win his dad’s affection, Ash tunnels back to the farm with Kristofferson to retrieve Mr. Fox’s severed tail. However, they’re caught almost instantly and Kristofferson gets captured. During the ensuing rescue mission, saving Kristofferson from captivity is Ash’s job. When Ash, the reason Kristofferson got caught in the first place, says, “I’m here to rescue you,” Kristofferson dryly tells him, “I’ve got mixed feelings about that.” Though the movie is often quirky, th...
Mr. Fox
After shooting off Mr. Fox’s tail, Bean starts wearing it as a necktie. In the climactic standoff, Mr. Fox angrily tells Bean, “Your tractors uprooted my tree. Your posse hunted my family. Your gunmen kidnapped my nephew. Your rat insulted my wife. And you shot off my tail. I’m not leaving here without that necktie!” The farmers immediately open fire, tearing Mr. Fox’s cover to shreds in seconds, and with perfect deadpan comedic timing, he tells the others, “Actually, we should just go.”
Ash Fox
For the majority of the movie, Ash is so wrapped up in his teen angst that he doesn’t realize he’s a jerk to most people and that’s why he’s not particularly well-liked. Toward the end of the film, he starts to understand his faults. After harshly rebutting Agnes, so he could speak to Kristofferson, Ash trails off his train of thought and says, “Was I a bit rude to Agnes? I should probably say something. I will in a minute.” It's both a good character growth moment and one of the more unconve...
Franklin Bean
There’s a non-sequitur scene in the middle of Fantastic Mr. Fox in which Petey – a parody of Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, played by Cocker himself – improvises a song while sitting by a campfire. Bean asks what he’s playing and Petey says, “I just kind of made it up as I went along, really.” Bean replies, “That’s just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!” This Fantastic Mr. Foxquote has become a popular meme because it’s endlessly applicable to lazily written music.
Mr. Fox
One of the most poignant scenes in Fantastic Mr. Foxarrives near the end after the heroes have liberated Kristofferson and escaped from the farm. Mr. Fox confronts his longstanding phobia of wolves when he sees a majestic wolf standing atop a nearby hill. He tries to communicate with the wolf and confides that he has an irrational fear of his species. Mr. Fox conquers his fear, admires the wolf, and says this quote before driving off.
Mrs. Felicity Fox
Willem Dafoe gives one of his many great eccentric turns in Fantastic Mr. Fox as the villainous Rat, a rodent mercenary hired by the farmers to snuff out their arch-nemesis. Rat tells Mrs. Fox, “Look at you, girl! You’re still as fine-looking as a creme brulee!” Mrs. Fox quips back, “Am I being flirted with by a psychotic rat?” Meryl Streep’s funny and brilliantly deadpan delivery here ensures that this Fantastic Mr. Foxquote never fails to get a laugh.

My thoughts after 49 years of marriage are: 1] love and respect one another and respect each of your privacies; 2) trust one anther; 3) Grow individually and ultimately together; 3) stop and smell the roses, as we all get caught up in our own lives; 4) Laugh, laugh and laugh a lot; 5) Remember why the two of you fell in love.

Mrs Fox isn't quiet, unaware or disinclined to challenge Mr Fox's views and perspectives (unlike Kylie - his innocence) - she still represents Mr Fox, as she's intellectual (strategic thinking in creating the map and plan to attack above ground; wisdom in 'we are poor, but, we're happy'), canny (her immediate scrutiny and suspicions about the abundance of poultry in her pantry), protective ...
