Animation/ Comedy/ Family by Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert, France, 2018/83 min.

French with English subtitles

Presented as part of The Tournées Festival, made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the U.S., the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC), the French American Cultural Fund, Florence Gould Foundation, and Highbrow Entertainment.

Additional sponsors are the Alliance Française de Charlotte and the UNC Charlotte French Club.

Share your thoughts in French after the film (beginners welcome)! Michèle Bissière, Professor of French at UNC Charlotte, will lead the discussion.

Adapted from an acclaimed series of comic books written and illus-
trated by co-director Benjamin Renner, The Big Bad Fox and Other
Tales is a delightful animated film, charmingly old-fashioned in its
graphics but sly and witty in its contents. Consisting of three stories
featuring a recurring cast of hapless farm animals, the film is present-
ed as a theatrical revue, with the “big bad” fox (who is, in fact, anything
but) appearing on a stage before each segment to introduce the
action. The first story features the adventures of a rabbit, a pig, and a
duck who take over for the stork when she gets sick and tries to bring a
human baby to its parents. This is followed by the story of the fearful
fox who is so bad at being a predator that he winds up protecting three
chickadees from a wolf. The final story finds the rabbit and the duck
attempting to deliver presents on Christmas Eve after they destroy a
plastic Santa Claus and become convinced they’ve killed the real one.
Combining an infectious warmth and a surprising slapstick sensibility,
The Big Bad Fox is a treat for the whole family.
