Felicity Fox (Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2009)

Mrs. Felicity Fox is the deuteragonist of the 2009 Oscar-nominated, stop-motion animated film, Fantastic Mr. Fox. She is the wife of Mr. Fox.

Why Her Movie Counterpart Is Fantastic

 * 1) Much like many characters from the book that appeared in the film, her personality became more fleshed out when compared to her book counterpart, since she has less personality other than a nice and friendly wife who barely calls out her husband for his actions in the book, when compared to her 2009 film counterpart where she had her personality changed to a tough spiritedly honest, yet caring and kindhearted wife who serves as the voice of reason to her husband and a caring mother to her son, Ash. Speaking of that, she even gets more screen time than her book counterpart, making her feel very depth and engaging compared to her book counterpart.
 * 2) She deeply cares about her family, including Ash which she loves very much and is always there for him when he needs her, such as when she defends her son, Ash from Rat who is trying to kidnap him before being defeated by him, showing that she’s more heroically badass than her book counterpart, the same thing in the beginning of the film where she helps Foxy with stealing food from a farm.
 * 3) She also mostly cares about her husband despite his flaws and her unlikable scenes with him, the reason why she disapproved Foxy’s thief actions after they moved into a tree because she and her husband were trapped in a trap on a farm and announced that she was pregnant with a cub in front of him.
 * 4) Her movie design is very gorgeous and beautifully cute, especially with her yellow dress.
 * 5) She has some memorable and heart-warming moments with her loved ones, such as cleaning the mud off Ash’s face with her tongue like a normal fox would.
 * 6) Meryl Streep does a very great job voicing her.
 * 7) She’s shown to be an excellent landscape painter as her paintings are beautiful, especially the large paintings of the map in the climax.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She can be mean spirited at times, such as the scene where she clawed her husband, Foxy in the face, leaving him with claw marks across his face, or telling him that she shouldn’t have married him which caused him to walk away from her, which is very out of character of her compared to her book counterpart, even though justified since Foxy lied to her about stealing food from the three farmers which caused them to lose their tree.
 * 2) Despite having more screen time than her book counterpart, she only does a few things to help with her husband, making her weaker than the other four major characters in the film, though not as much as her book counterpart.

Trivia

 * In the book, she had four unnamed children; unlike the film, where she only has a son named "Ash" and a nephew named "Kristofferson".
 * In the film, Mrs. Fox makes promise her husband to not steal birds again when they were trapped and he raided Boggis, Bunce and Bean's farms behind her back. However, in the book, she was aware of him hunting the birds before his tail was shot off.
