I like how they don't even question Kylie living, eating and sleeping at Fox's house. I really wonder where he lived before the events of the movie. Maybe we can get a Kylie prequel to this film one day to explain things. I'd watch it in a heartbeat
in the directors commentary for the movie, wes said that kylie is based on a guy who was doing maintenance on an apartment he was moving into, and this guy was apparently living there for the last few months and still was after wes moved in lol
Fun fact: Altogether, 535 puppets were made for this movie. Mr. Fox had 17 different styles alone, and each of Mr. Fox's styles had to be done in 6 different sizes. He has 102 puppets alone.
I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear fe
As someone with ADD myself, I can assure you that "swirly eyes" thing is very real. Especially when he's still technically aware of what's going on but he's still spaced out. (Edit: swirly not squirrelly)
I like the read on ADHD (especially as a fellow haver) but to me I personally always read the eyes as like almost a form of dissociation? The swirly eyes seem to come up in different and often traumatic moments so I always kind of assumed it was just the representation of his full withdrawal from reality. Anyway thanks for this one! Definitely one of the best wes side characters
I never thought I'd see a video doing a deep dive analysis on Kylie. He's a very underrated character in my eyes and he proves that side characters can be loveable. Thanks for this Karsten.
I love FMF so much and have watched it hundreds of times, always loving Kylie. Somehow I never focus on him though because of the fox family and never notice all the times he helped, contributed, and just did his own thing honestly. It’s nice to see somebody give him that spotlight he never had in the movie because he was constantly overshadowed by mr fox
Fun fact: The character of Kylie was based on a handyman (named Kylie) who was living in Wes Anderson's New York City apartment when he purchased it from painter Larry Rivers: "After I bought it, he continued to live there while the place was gutted, but eventually I had to ask him to move out."
As a person who can randomly evoke the freeze reponce when i pull up a bad thought, or dont like a situation. I related to adding 2-5 secconds to a question breifly forgetting everything and standing stock still til i shake it off
Honestly as someone with adhd, I can say that kylies ADD is completely accurate. Just zoning out. And not paying attention all the time. So yeah I can confirm this is a pretty good hunch lmao
I just saw the movie basically for the first time last week, being a huge fan of isle of dogs never thought kylie would’ve stuck with me after it. Very much appreciated for this video!
The point about his world traveler titanium card is such a good observation for why he's in the UK. Just another little detail that makes the film even better 🤏
I’ve suspected I’ve been nerodivergent for a while now, I see so much of myself in the (suspected) add that Kylie has and I kind of see myself in him. It’s nice to see that and how his character isn’t just the butt of the jokes, but how he is an important and kind character
I loved this!!! Please do more, especially for Wes Anderson movies! Id also love to hear you go in depth into movies like Three Colors: Red, Fallen Angels and Yi Yi
+10 points for the ✋🏼😧🤚🏼 different I love your analyses, this one is amazing! I think the difference in the Kylie’s task is to show how Mr. Fox sees him as different.
I got so excited when you mentioned the possibility of ADD because every time I watch this film I feel Kylie so deeply because I too zone out mid conversation and I also have ADD that is comedically accurate to his
My name is pronounced Kylie and it was so strange hearing my name in a video so many times. How do people with names like "John" or "Christina" live like this? In all seriousness, loved this analysis. Love this movie and all of it's characters.
thanks so very much Karsten for the Fantastic Mr. Fox content, as soon as i saw this i kept it in an open tab waiting for a good moment to watch it. i love FMF more than anything and i found out about it from your old FMF video. that decision to watch it made me become apart of my favorite community ever and meet my best friends where we still commit to this movie after a year. what i'm saying is, it brings me so much joy to see a creator like you make content about FMF; i'm seriously grateful for videos like these. This video is especially great, talking about an underappreciated character and his role in a way i haven't seen talked about before. I love analyzing media but you manage to provide new perspectives on a movie i've been watching for years. not even just in this video either; you seriously are like the FMF analyst master and i love hearing you talk about it. sorry if i'm acting overly thankful or just weird, i really do love what you've done here and with your previous Wes Anderson related videos too (as well as non-Wes stuff). anyway all that was just petty filler so i could hopefully convince you now to make an analysis on Kristofferson who i think is a really important character besides everyone disagreeing and not seeing it. I really do believe he displays a contrast which highlights the themes more and brings out wonderful detail. (he's also just really awesome and like the best character ever made) seriously though this video RULES and im excited for everything you'll do next, FMF related or not.
This is… I’m sorry… fantastic. ;) I also agree about his ADD traits. I’m neurodivergent myself, and I definitely related to Kylie. And a little bit Ash, as well.
Considering how much you love First Reformed, I'd love to see you tackle Silence. Just watched it recently and was blown away. Saw you gave it a 10/10 on Letterboxd, so I'd love to hear what you think about it
as someone who loves fantastic mr fox this was such an unexpected surprise but nevertheless i love it! for me, i truly resonate with ash. maybe because i'm a teen and i also feel ignored alot but he is just so raw and one of the best depictions of teenagers in film ive seen so far. but i really do like kyle and the eye thing is so damn cute :D
oh i loveee fmf videos so much, i grew up on the movie bc something about it was just so different but i couldnt figure out what it was, seeing ppl explain my childhood questions so in depth makes me Happy
Kylie was always a good and believable character that kind of helps hold a great movie together. He was, to put it in Fox's words, "to be available", and it really kinda worked that way, and this was a good read of his character. He still had his own quirks down to even his name (Kylee is basically a female take off Kyle), yet he was still more grounded amidst all the crazy plans. His line about thunderstorms was also kind of hilarious, because it was nearly identical to a conversation me and my sister had when she was younger. She always insisted thunder was the frightening part, and it was a struggle at her age to comprehend the difference with lightning. So Fox's early dialogue about Kylie's phobia was always a funny bit that... honestly, probably helped make this movie one of my favorites. Upon a first watch, it was just an okay family movie. Some of the little quirks like that stuck around longer, and coming back to the film, it quickly unraveled into one of the best movies I've known the more it settled with me. ... though another thing I remembered was Fox being wrong about blueberries. One of the few foods my beagle never ate, she just rolled it around on the ground until she got bored of it.
I think it’s more about how Kylie doesn’t absorb info in the world and doesn’t advocate for himself because he’s scared. So instead of consciously living he’s playing dead
I love him. I felt deeply identified with him the moment he was zooming out and Mr. Fox asked him for a sign to know if anything was passing through him.
I mean, its still Mr Fox, but would you analyze Ash? he's my fuckin favorite and I relate to him in a way,? idk itd be cool to hear what you think abt him
i watched the clifford movie video yesterday, had no idea this would appear while i was looking for fantastic mr fox content. you have great videos dawg
literally watched this movie like 3 days ago, so the character of kylie is fresh in my mine and i remember think some of the same things as you pointed out
just watched fmf last night and for the first time! I loved it. Definitely rewatching because I feel a bit of it flew over my head seeing that it was 1 am but loved it nonetheless. Was inspired by your wes video and your old fmf video. Just have to say that I appreciate you continuing to talk about and revisit it as well as what you do in general. Keep it up!
Me, a week ago: Gee, Kylie sure is an underrated and good character, now that I think about it. You: *Releases this video* Me: We live in the matrix...
I honestly thought swirly eyes was part of stress snd Fox hadn't been THAT stressed until he almost got ragdolled by a rabid dog. Like that seems to be the Closest Fox had been to death in the entire movie and it freaked him out for a bit. While Kylie is much more of a regular dude. He didn't live like Fox so he understandably becomes stressed over things Fox doesn't.
I never really paid attention to kylie when i watched this movie (the few times i have watched it). This was a really interesting dive into a character i always thought was cool but didnt really care about until after watching this movie.
anyone got cool thanksgiving plans?
watching movies. very original.
what about you, karsten?
im gonna watch over the garden wall a billion more times. its not halloween but whatever
@@isaacisaweirdo1712 beautiful idea
Its about drive
i wouldn’t have ever expected a kylie analysis video
I like how they don't even question Kylie living, eating and sleeping at Fox's house. I really wonder where he lived before the events of the movie. Maybe we can get a Kylie prequel to this film one day to explain things. I'd watch it in a heartbeat
in the directors commentary for the movie,
wes said that kylie is based on a guy who was doing maintenance on an apartment he was moving into, and this guy was apparently living there for the last few months and still was after wes moved in lol
I would rather a backstory movie on Badger

terrible idea
Thats gotta be the shitiest movie idea ever

@UCqxZfUgLdMsuOnZDNRSbypg 😂😂😂😂
@@AxxLAfriku and what does that have to do with a fox taking care of his family?
The king of analyzing the most unpredictable characters
Kylie is just a general all-round good guy, the one everyone likes.
As someone with ADD myself, I can assure you that "swirly eyes" thing is very real. Especially when he's still technically aware of what's going on but he's still spaced out. (Edit: swirly not squirrelly)
The toy train scene that cuts to the real one outside-
✨ Hits Different ✨
Seeing the whites of Kylies eyes at all times is really the cutest thing.
I like the read on ADHD (especially as a fellow haver) but to me I personally always read the eyes as like almost a form of dissociation? The swirly eyes seem to come up in different and often traumatic moments so I always kind of assumed it was just the representation of his full withdrawal from reality. Anyway thanks for this one! Definitely one of the best wes side characters
Just watched this movie a couple of days ago for the first time. One of my favorite animated films of all time
“He says ‘superb’ or something” we know you know everything anyone says in this movie
He did say he watched it 10 times
I never thought I'd see a video doing a deep dive analysis on Kylie. He's a very underrated character in my eyes and he proves that side characters can be loveable. Thanks for this Karsten.

kylie is such a wholesome character like he's just some guy, but you end up liking him so much
the chillest character ever

I think the analysis was great. I wasn’t expecting it to be so well constructed, definitely do more if your up for it
I just saw the movie basically for the first time last week, being a huge fan of isle of dogs never thought kylie would’ve stuck with me after it. Very much appreciated for this video!
The point about his world traveler titanium card is such a good observation for why he's in the UK. Just another little detail that makes the film even better 🤏
I've seen the film way too much, and there's still little details like that I'm only now figuring out. Truly a fantastic movie.
I’ve suspected I’ve been nerodivergent for a while now, I see so much of myself in the (suspected) add that Kylie has and I kind of see myself in him. It’s nice to see that and how his character isn’t just the butt of the jokes, but how he is an important and kind character
why do I get so emotional every time I see fantastic mr. fox related things... I really do relate to its characters and messages so much
I would totally watch more character break downs from this film alone.
I like the diversity in this channel he just does what he enjoys even if is a character analysis of a rat
opossum please
*OPOSSUM*
Please don’t disrespect our Kylie like that, please. 🙏
I loved this!!! Please do more, especially for Wes Anderson movies!
Id also love to hear you go in depth into movies like Three Colors: Red, Fallen Angels and Yi Yi
I just gotta say, this is so out of the blue and I love it
Yes! More Fantastic Mr Fox character analysis!
+10 points for the ✋🏼😧🤚🏼 different
I love your analyses, this one is amazing!
I think the difference in the Kylie’s task is to show how Mr. Fox sees him as different.
So cool that you're doing this video! I rewatched Mr. Fox just last week ago Kylie as a character stood out to me in a very interesting way!
You should do Ash next! He has like my favorite arc in any movie ever
I got so excited when you mentioned the possibility of ADD because every time I watch this film I feel Kylie so deeply because I too zone out mid conversation and I also have ADD that is comedically accurate to his
I like him cause hes a humble fat simple man
love the video my guy, an ashton fox analysis would be amazing
ya mean ash? Yeah. I'd like 2 c an analysis of ash as well. I find him so relatable.
My name is pronounced Kylie and it was so strange hearing my name in a video so many times. How do people with names like "John" or "Christina" live like this?
In all seriousness, loved this analysis. Love this movie and all of it's characters.
I get that. I'm a guy with the name Kylee. Never met another male with that name. As an added bonus, my last name is Fox
The video i didn't know i needed but glad I found..this is my all time favorite comfort movie
thanks so very much Karsten for the Fantastic Mr. Fox content, as soon as i saw this i kept it in an open tab waiting for a good moment to watch it. i love FMF more than anything and i found out about it from your old FMF video. that decision to watch it made me become apart of my favorite community ever and meet my best friends where we still commit to this movie after a year. what i'm saying is, it brings me so much joy to see a creator like you make content about FMF; i'm seriously grateful for videos like these.

The fact that I just rewatched this is kinda creepy
I didn’t expect this but wow thank you!
Fantastic Mr Fox is my favourite movie of all time. Period.
I needed this video more then I thought
I demand an Eli Cash video now.
This is… I’m sorry… fantastic. ;) I also agree about his ADD traits. I’m neurodivergent myself, and I definitely related to Kylie. And a little bit Ash, as well.
When I saw this thumbnail and title I’ve never had an emotion that so strongly was pure delight, this video was unexpected but certainly delightful
Wow! Just rewatched this movie yesterday. Didn’t think I would get a character analysis on Kylie, but I’m happy!
Considering how much you love First Reformed, I'd love to see you tackle Silence. Just watched it recently and was blown away. Saw you gave it a 10/10 on Letterboxd, so I'd love to hear what you think about it
as someone who loves fantastic mr fox this was such an unexpected surprise but nevertheless i love it! for me, i truly resonate with ash. maybe because i'm a teen and i also feel ignored alot but he is just so raw and one of the best depictions of teenagers in film ive seen so far. but i really do like kyle and the eye thing is so damn cute :D
oh i loveee fmf videos so much, i grew up on the movie bc something about it was just so different but i couldnt figure out what it was, seeing ppl explain my childhood questions so in depth makes me Happy
I would die for Kylie
TYSM for all this fantastic mr Fox content this fall. I needed it
loved this character analysis!! would absolutely love more of them:))))))!!

love it! more character analyses Karsten, especially of side characters i love that
I think it’s more about how Kylie doesn’t absorb info in the world and doesn’t advocate for himself because he’s scared. So instead of consciously living he’s playing dead
Its Lovely to see someone else give this movie the love it deserves!!!!!
Yesss will never get tired of video essays on this movie
I love him. I felt deeply identified with him the moment he was zooming out and Mr. Fox asked him for a sign to know if anything was passing through him.
I mean, its still Mr Fox, but would you analyze Ash? he's my fuckin favorite and I relate to him in a way,? idk itd be cool to hear what you think abt him
Well this was certainly an unexpected delight! One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies.
i watched the clifford movie video yesterday, had no idea this would appear while i was looking for fantastic mr fox content. you have great videos dawg
I literally just laughed when I saw the thumbnail I love it
if you ever want to do an Ash character analysis that *might* just be the best thing that’s ever happened !!
YESSSSS OHHH MYYY GAWD. MORE CHARACTER ANALYSIS. I will save this video for my car drive.
This is such a great film. You just gave me more appriciation for it.
That small phobia/fear detail is fascinating
literally watched this movie like 3 days ago, so the character of kylie is fresh in my mine and i remember think some of the same things as you pointed out

yass I just watched fantastic mr fox for the first time last week and listened to the pod episode, perfect timing Kurstn
Your love for fantastic mr fox makes me so happy
Yesss I love the character analysis videos! Keep up the great work!
All time favorite movie, thank you Karsten for doing this
So are we going to get a character analysis on every fantastic mr.fox character? Cuz that would be really really really cool.
Me, a week ago: Gee, Kylie sure is an underrated and good character, now that I think about it.
You: *Releases this video*
Me: We live in the matrix...
I honestly thought swirly eyes was part of stress snd Fox hadn't been THAT stressed until he almost got ragdolled by a rabid dog. Like that seems to be the Closest Fox had been to death in the entire movie and it freaked him out for a bit. While Kylie is much more of a regular dude. He didn't live like Fox so he understandably becomes stressed over things Fox doesn't.
this video brought to you by the visual of Kylie swiping his hand up then down
analyzing Felicity Fox would be interesting
Kylies swirly eyes remind me a bit of how i go non verbal in stressful situations or just sometimes randomly
This is the type of content I subscribed for, keep it coming ;))
This was dope! Wouldn’t be disappointed if you did more character analyses
Gotta love his 😵💫 eyes
Thank you for this, Kylie is amazing
you lirly never fail. i appreciate your content so much!!!
I never really paid attention to kylie when i watched this movie (the few times i have watched it). This was a really interesting dive into a character i always thought was cool but didnt really care about until after watching this movie.
im obsesses with ur voice (and ur obsession w/ fantastic mr fox)
I stan Kylie
I think you should definitely make more character analysis’s!
Do you go to sleep every night watching the Everything great about fantastic me fox video?
Finally! I needed this.
I love Kylie, I love this film... Maybe in the future, could you do a character analysis about Kristopherson?
He’s like my very favorite character
I have to analyse the whole movie for school so thanks for this video 😊.
this is the video we didn't know we needed
karsten making fantastic mr. fox greater and greater
yeah itd be cool with more character analysis videos
The entire ADHD community watching FMF: HE’S ONE OF US.
yes, more character analyses
“Apple juice… apple juice flood” * 👄 *
Yea more of these please
