Released eight months before Disney's Snow White, it is the world's sixth-ever animated feature film (and the second to use puppet animation, following The New Gulliver from the USSR).
Though it was produced in 1930 but it did not released until 1937 when it got released just eight months before Disney's Snow White.
This was Director, Animator, Writer, Cinematographer, Production Designer and Art Director Wladyslaw Starewicz' only animation feature.
Animation was completed in Paris after an 18-month period (1929-1930) but problems with funding to add a soundtrack delayed its release until the German film company UFA GmbH provided the financing in 1937. This was largely due to the German poet Goethe having written a classic version of the Renard legend, as well as Heinrich der Glïchezäre, a Middle High German poet from Alsace, who composed a narrative poem, Reinhart Fuchs, in approximately 1180 A.D. The completed animated film with soundtrack premiered in Berlin in April 1937.
The film was released in France with a French language soundtrack in 1941; this is the version which is currently available on DVD.
