"Boggis, Bunce and Bean International Supermarkets" Farmers would be a trap?

You're saying a whole supermarket is a trap?

I believe so.
There is a part where the farmers say:

"- These three, in this reporter's
opinion, obsessed farmers remain convinced the fox in question
will eventually reappear. Why?

- Foxes aren't meant
to live in a sewer. They're refugees.All they have to eat down there is... Trash! And not much of it." Before the film's final scene.

And more, there's a scene in which:

"Mr. Fox: I'm trying to tell you the truth about myself.

Miss Fox: l don't care about the truth about yourself. This story is too predictable.

Mr. Fox: Predictable, really? What happens in the end?

Miss Fox: In the end, we all die. Unless you change." In approximately 34 minutes of film.

I believe that Wes Anderson decided to use dark humor even that.

Interesting. I didn't think so, but now it got me doubting. Actually I thought it had a happy end up until now. I just thought that it was a kind of a hint at how the "farmers" or the "big companies" or "the bosses" owned everything, but "the little guy" could still find a way to outsmart them and enjoy life - that was my interpretation.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Let's be bad guys.
