Fantastic Mr. Fox (1970)

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a children's novel, written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Donald Chaffin, although different editions have also featured artwork by Jill Bennett, Tony Ross, and Quentin Blake. The story follows Mr. Fox, who is, of course, a fox.

Mr.Fox has been stealing food from nearby farmers for some time. However, when he's identified as a thief, the farmers join forces to ambush him. As a result, he is trapped, and must come up with a plot to save himself, his family, and the other local animals. With the help of his four children, his friend Badger, and his sharp wit, it is, of course, only a matter of time before he succeeds.

In 2009, a stop-motion movie adaptation was released. The film was directed by Wes Anderson and co-written by him and Noah Baumbach. It features a cast of stars (including George Clooney as the mastermind fox himself, Meryl Streep as his wife, and Bill Murray as his friend, Badger) a soundtrack with a mix of original songs composed by Alexandre Desplate and a few pop songs by the likes of The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Burl Ives, and others.

The movie remains mostly faithful to the story, with a few differences, such as Mr. Fox's secrecy and their having, instead of four children, one child and a nephew. It also focuses much more on his relationship with his wife and slightly alters the ending. The movie was praised for its animation, quirkiness, and wit, and was nominated for several awards.

Some that it won were the Annie Award for Writing in a Feature Production (2010), two NYFCC awards for Best Animated Film and Best Actor (2009), and two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay from SDFCS and SFBAFCC (2009).

Less furry-centric, but relevant, content under the readmore.

In 1998, a three-act opera form of the story appeared on stage at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as well. It was originally composed by Tobias Picker, with the help of Donald Sturrock's writing. In 2010, an abridged version was released with reduced orchestration, and in 2011, a full-length version with the same was released.

A performance of it was recorded and released on Albany Records in 2019, earning the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording. It was commissioned by the Roald Dahl Foundation, and seems to follow the original story fairly loyally.

In 2016, a stage musical was also premiered at the Nuffield Theater in Southampton. Adapted by Sam Holcroft, with music written by Arthur Davill and lyrics written by those two with the help of Darren Clark and Al Muriel, the musical seemingly is still touring, with tickets available for a 2024 showing. Once again, the show seems faithful to the original tale.

we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.

first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like

Falling down the rabbit hole of random stock / "production" music since that LGR video. If you're looking for some synthwave / city pop / chill vibes music, that might be a potential avenue to explore.

Bear and Breakfast (2022)

Bear and Breakfast is a management-adventure game released on Steam and the Nintendo Switch. The game features Hank, a young brown bear. He, along with some friends, find an abandoned shack in the woods and intend to turn it into a Bed + Breakfast.

Together in the company of various other animals, including a dog, a beaver, and a raccoon, Hank must work on building and maintaining his B+B. Exploration is offered, as well. Story-related quests can be completed to earn more items and perks, solving a mystery and improving your work.

It was developed by Gummy Cat and published by Armor Games. While many parts of the game were received well, such as the music and atmosphere, it unfortunately was regarded by many critics as a touch sluggish and stifling.
