![]() With his small stature and unimpressive growl, the Big Bad Fox doesn’t quite live up to his moniker. ![]() Though the phrase “fun for the whole family” is tossed around quite generously, this is one film certain to keep adult ears as perked up for the witty Gallic humor as children’s eyes on the delightful on-screen mischief. THE BIG BAD FOX by Benjamin Renner illustrated by Benjamin Renner translated by Joe Johnson RELEASE DATE: JA not-too-tough fox in a henhouse comes away with more than he bargained for. Running through each segment is a tender core of sincere emotion fastened around the bonds between parent and child, which keeps the slapstick jokes grounded and the charming 2D animation soaring. Featuring lively voice work and especially snappy dialogue, the troupe feverishly sketches the exploits of a less-than-clever fox left responsible for three chicks to whom he grows too attached to devour a stork too lazy to deliver his infant package and the beleaguered trio of animals who take up the job and finally, a surly pig who must find a way to save Christmas after his incompetent friends believe they have killed Santa Claus. ![]() An all-animal theater troupe presents three tales of barnyard adventure in this animated anthology based on director Benjamin Renner’s own comics. ![]()
