A fairy book story set in an animal kingdom plagued by a clever fox, who tricks other animals into giving him food, or worse. The lion king sends various court appointees to stop him, but they all fail. A final military assault on the fox's castle shows the depth to which the fox can outwit his opponents. Starewicz's stunning use of stop motion animation, along with synchronized sound and music, is unparalleled for 1930, but the story is a bit episodic and can drag at times.
