Le grand méchant renard et autres contes...

This was fun. I have the comix. I liked it because it hat complexity and humor for adults in a backdrop mostly used for children. The animation was on point and the little details sometimes where so worth it. The sound, especially the voices i enjoyed also because they didn't sound like from a cartoon. The thre story where funny and cute. The middle one was based on the comix and was the best because it stood on his on. The others wehre old stories but with unique ingridients. I'm looking forward to the next projects of the animators and the director

I was watching this with my kid thinking that it is one of the boring kids' animation, but it turned out to be a very funny movie with one of the best and unique animation's technique i have ever seen, i was drawn to the movie from first scene till the last.

Easy 10/10

The two men who directed Ernest and Célestine five years ago are also responsible for this animated movie. E & C is to me a truly remarkable movie for all sorts of reasons, both visually and verbally. This movie is not in that league, but it's still worth seeing.

It contains three stories about animal characters, each one better than the one before. Some of it is very funny - I saw it with a lot of children during a matinée, and they laughed. It is rarely as touching or profound as its predecessor. You never really care for any of the characters, unlike in E & C. It's well drawn, but it not a work of visual art the way its predecessor was.

See it with young children.

The eponymous critter takes centre stage as if he were leading a Scaramouche-style commedia dell'arte, the curtains draw back and after a few false starts, we are now in for eighty minutes of family animation that follows the tales of his and his companions. We begin with the weary stork that's fed up flying around trying to deliver a baby and so he deposits it with the fox, the pig, the rabbit and the duck. Can they repatriate the baby with her folks? Chickens? Why not pinch some eggs and let them hatch? Three new friends for our fox - except, well they take to him like he's their mother. Not great for when the real mother comes around to collect her offspring! Finally, Christmas looks doomed. "Santa Claus" isn't able to deliver the gifts and it's down to the intrepidity of the rabbit and the duck to save the day and get the man in red back on course. All of their antics are done amidst a fear of the big bad wolf (usually accompanied by the briefest of musical excerpts from Prokoviev's famous lupine score) which is never far away and always hungry! The animation is simple yet effective and engaging. The characters - usually with huge great eyes - come across amiably presenting a well written series of fun stories that will keep the youngsters at bay whilst we grown ups can enjoy a little of more substance. It's got all the usual messages of integrity, loyalty and teamwork - but those are delivered here in a much more relaxed and entertaining fashion with lots of daftness thrown in for good measure. It might read a bit incongruous, but these stories come across as a little more real than many of their more commercially successful and brash contemporaries, and I really did quite enjoy it - especially the mother hen!

Children's films are often brushed off as mediocre and unimportant to the modern eye. But that simply isn't true. Some are just as great as remarkable as mature films! The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales proves to be one of those films with It's charming characters, fun plots & constant laughs!
