FANTASTIC MR. FOX is visionary director Wes Anderson’s first animated film, utilizing classic handmade stop-motion techniques to tell the story of the best-selling children’s book by Roald Dahl (author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach). The film features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Eric Anderson, Michael Gambon, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, and Jarvis Cocker.

Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristofferson (Eric Anderson). But after twelve years of quiet domesticity, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr. Fox’s wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground without enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers – Boggis, Bunce and Bean – who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr. Fox at any cost. In the end, he uses his natural instincts to save his family and friends.

This Is Beetle Giveaway- $100 Visa Gift Card

If you’re wrong, you start playing a football game. You just pick whether you want to do a passing play or a running play, and the simulation starts. If you get a touchdown, you win. If you don’t, the game will pick up when you enter another code, so you can keep playing and trying to win.

What can you win? There are some big prizes, the grand prize being $20,000 to create your fantasy NCAA football weekend. Your chances of winning are probably pretty slim, but there are tons of smaller prizes as well. Word on the street is that tons of people are winning NCAA Football 10 (the video game) by choosing the coin flip correctly.

If you don’t go to Wendy’s, don’t worry – you can still play. Just click “don’t have a code” on the main screen (under the email form), and they’ll email one to you for free. So, it doesn’t cost anything to play, and your chances of winning something aren’t bad.

Please note: This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Every Joe. Wendy’s probably doesn’t know that I exist, and if they did, they wouldn’t give me hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes to give away. I’m just the messenger on this one!
