About this converter
Studios list an official theatrical runtime for every Wes Anderson feature, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. The scale runs from the 87 minute Fantastic Mr Fox to the 118 minute Life Aquatic. Stop motion tales sit shortest while ensemble live action runs longer. This table keeps eleven theatrical features from Bottle Rocket to Asteroid City with credits included, as published by the studios and the BBFC.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Fantastic Mr Fox against Grand Budapest to feel the 12 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Commercials and short films such as Hotel Chevalier are left out. The French Dispatch figure is the 103 minute theatrical cut. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Life Aquatic at 118 tops the table, with Tenenbaums next at 110.
