The movie revolves around three estranged brothers taking a train ride through India in an attempt to reconnect. Again, critical reviews were mixed.
For his next film, Anderson returned to his childhood tendency of making his favorite stories come alive. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) is a stop-action animated feature based on Roald Dahl's book of the same name. It stars the usual ensemble of Anderson actors, including Murray,
Owen Wilson, Schwartzman, as well as George Clooney and Meryl Streep, who voice various woodland animals coming together to fight against an evil farmer. This film was met with much wider critical acclaim than The Darjeeling Limited, and joined The Royal Tenenbaums as the only other Oscar-nominated film in Anderson's filmography.
Currently shooting his newest endeavor, titled Moonrise Kingdom, critics and Anderson's fan base alike eagerly anticipate the fruits of his efforts. Though Anderson's films tend to include characters whom, he admits, "could walk into another one of my movies and it would make sense," his brand of awkward, and sometimes sad, comedy remains remarkably unique. Anderson has flourished as a filmmaker who has been able to create independent-feeling movies under the eye of big studios for the last fourteen years.
