Hey guys, my name is Quinton Lee. I graduated from Kingsborough Community College with a Liberal Arts degree and decided to pursue a Bachelor’s in Business Administrative degree. I had troubles from the get go at the start of CO-VID, however I managed to take a year break and decided to go to college again. Some of my hobbies include playing video games and used to play handball. I feel like the movie Mr. Fantastic Fox was a movie that made lasting impressions to me. In a nutshell Mr. Fantastic Fox is about an anthropomorphic fox who steals from cruel brutish farmers and the farmers want revenge so they have to survive the onslaught. What stuck to me about the movie was that the child of the fox was an outcast and wasn’t as talented as his friends were and how the animation directive was amazing in my opinion. It changed my perspective on how you can overcome these obstacles and be yourself no matter what and be proud of it. I can see the each animation panel changing to each setting being very comical in a slapstick way. It’s almost beautiful how they can transition in such creative ways. There is another aspect of the story about stealing food from the cruel brutish farmers that give me a sense of Robin Hood. It also shows how the fox outsmarts the farmers in order to gain their food. Another text that influenced me was my encounter with being in a rural side of a country in China. It changed my perspective on living with a small amount of money and meeting my cousins who are still happy despite the shortcomings. That happiness isn’t always met with money but it can be as simple as just farming and being independent for all your necessities for yourself.
Hi Quinton, Welcome to Baruch! I loved Fantastic Mr. Fox too. I especially liked the way the film looked. It was beautifully done!
