Can Wes Anderson's Mr. Fox Compete with the Talking Fox from Antichrist?

In the grand tradition of Volcano vs. Dante's Peak and Deep Impact vs. Armageddon, we now have a new cinematic duel about to play out, and this one involves intelligent, talking foxes. Who will you place your money on?

In this corner, we have Wes Anderson's stop-motion film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, with voices by George Clooney and Meryl Streep. JoBlo released the first picture from the film today. Cute.

However! In this corner, we have the notorious talking fox from Lars Von Trier's Antichrist, which noshes on its own innards and declares at the movie's midpoint, "Chaos reigns."

The immodest Von Trier will no doubt pull out all the stops to secure his fox's status as "The Best Cinematic Fox in the World," so we're afraid the onus is on Anderson to step up. Give us a scene of George Clooney Fox nibbling on Meryl Streep Fox's intestines (as "Apeman" by the Kinks plays in the background) and let's make this a real competition!

UPDATE: We've been asked by the Fox Intellectual Property to remove the image. If you want to see it, as of publishing time it was still up at JoBlo.
