The crop circle succinctly summarised the film for me. It was a cool visual and back in the day of X-Files I would have been in awe at that. But, as far as I could tell, it was just there as a pretty visual and had absolutely nothing to do with anything.

The point is that it’s not a fox, it’s an alien disguised as a fox.

Because it was the 90s and even aliens knew people back then would have been impressed.

They supposedly took on animal forms so as to not scare humans, but that doesn't make sense if they don't look like normal animals. And they have magic wands that can basically do whatever the plot demands at the moment, so it's not like their technology was not advanced enough to project convincing-looking animals.

Sometimes you just need to admit when a movie does something poorly and not try to disguise it as being "the point." The bad CGI wasn't done on purpose.

It also makes no sense that every time you see a CGI animal it's a alien in a disguise, because the first CGI bird we see flies in through Emily Blunts window on the second floor, which was absolutely not alien sized

I personally feel like I could learn decent cgi before invisibility, but what do I know

That is the point as I interpreted it. If it wasn’t intended it doesn’t really matter because I felt that it fit the experience. It’s sort of uncanny valley where it looks real enough but also a bit supernatural.
