MVFF: The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales

  • Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center 1118 4th Street San Rafael, CA, 94901 United States (map)

A warm-hearted, French charmer with Looney Tunes flair from members of the Oscar®-nominated team behind Ernest & Célestine (presented here in English and featuring a stellar British vocal cast), The Big Bad Fox delivers a trio of winning comedic tales set on an idyllic country farm. Well, it would be idyllic except for its quirky, perfectly inept assemblage of bickering animals who never met a plan that didn’t go awry. In “Baby Delivery,” Pig, Rabbit, and Duck must deliver a newborn after Stork falls down on the job (literally). The tables also turn—not once or twice but constantly—in “The Big Bad Fox” and “Saving Christmas,” where Fox is the Rodney Dangerfield of predators, and Christmas doesn’t really need saving… until it does. Beneath all the hijinks in The Big Bad Fox lies a heartfelt message: Love and good intentions always triumph over our inevitable limitations and dim-bulb pratfalls. Age 6+
