At least thats da way i am! Lol , really i am like that and i know many others are so.

Anyway are or aren't , Just WATCH IT or ya'll be regreting it.

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!

Quite frankly I found this little masterpiece out of the blue, just watched the trailer and I kind of liked the jokes and the animation style overall so I decided why not... today's animation is tending to be way too realistic and we don't want that in the cartoon, a true cartoon which it totally is. This one is full of surprises - despite the fact that it is dubbed from French with the help of English voice actors, who had done their job outstandingly and their voiceover was simply superb to say the least, you do not feel the boundaries of any specific regional characteristics - it is universally a great movie, with lots of jokes, one of a kind animation, amazing score and nice although outdated and "nothing new" plotlines that still keep you on the edge of the seat and make you live through the performance along with the characters. This is a wonderful gem of a movie and I'd definitely prefer this to most of those millions of Disney lookalikes that are in theaters every month now.

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.
