I'd like to see him heading into some new territory after this film.

Having seen this movie, I can say it's Anderson's least successful film, and basically exactly what you'd expect from an animated/stop motion Wes Anderson film – lots of music (less creative this time around), yellow title cards, and the typical Anderson rapid fire dialogue, only this time coming out of the mouths of furry woodland creatures. It's almost a kids film, but there's blood and allusions to sex. It's not really a bad film, just kind of a generic one, and the stop motion, though kinda charming for being so organic, is a very limiting medium in terms of a characters expression (at least the way Anderson uses it).

do any of you think Wes Anderson can go back to his old style after this? I'd like to see him heading into some new territory after this film.

The question really is if Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr Fox" debuts at The Venice Film Festival, does anyone want to see it? Based on the downhill trajectory of Anderson's career we could be in for a travesty of a film.

Ideally when you have a pic like Mr.Fox you'd want to have it compete for a Bear, a Palme or in this case, a Lion. Sounds logical. Venice loves animation. Venice invited Darjeeling. It might go head to head in the comp with Chomet's The Illusionist. File under: most probable.
