EXCLUSIVE! How Meryl Streep Got Foxy for Her New Animated Film


How do you prepare to voice a fox in an animated film? If you're Meryl Streep, you use past experience. In this exclusive video shot at the Apple Store in Manhattan, Streep explains how an encounter with a fox in London helped her give life to Mrs. Fox in the new movie Fantastic Mr. Fox, which opens Thanksgiving Day and also stars George Clooney. "We looked at each other for 12 minutes," Streep recalls. "I had my little clock and I kept looking ... I have never looked in an animal's eyes that long. My dog won't look at me that long." Good thing moviegoers have more patience than a canine!
