"They say our tree may never grow back, but one day, something will."
Nobody is uniquely, alone, THE Mr Fox. We're all, together, wild animals who can outwit and outlast those who want us gone, and we'll all eat and dance as they sit grumbling, guns pointed at the hole we've long abandoned. (end)

Yes they're all living in concrete sewer apartments, but you can see they're a community. Surviving. (5)

Earlier, he told his wife that *he* was a wild animal. But now, with his second speech, after listing off all their known talents, he calls them *all* wild animals.

The turning point comes when they all team up to save his son. (3)

This is one reason why some say the ending is a downer. But it got me thinking about the message of the movie as I've always understood it and how applicable it is to today's times.
The turning point in the story isn't Mr. Fox giving up his thieving, as one might expect in this allegory. (2)

I wanna be a huge dragon and terrorize horrible politicians
