The countryside isn't always as calm and peaceful as it's made out to be, and the animals on this farm are particularly agitated: a fox who mothers a family of chicks, a rabbit who plays the stork, and a duck who wants to be Santa Claus.

Critics Consensus

The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales uses its simple, classic animation style to tell a series of equally undemanding - yet utterly beguiling - stories the whole family can enjoy.

This is ideal viewing for young children, though animation fans of all ages should find much to admire. Go to Full Review
Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times 10/18/2018
In divisive times, Pig and his friends, who consist of maybe a dozen drawn lines apiece, provide much-needed laughter in the tradition of the great Warner Bros. cartoons. Go to Full Review

3/5
The look is old-fashioned, but not quite so old-fashioned as some of the references. How many modern children will understand why a long-necked wading bird is delivering babies? Go to Full Review

3/5
A funny, sometimes even laugh out loud moment, witty and not at all small minded animated film that is beautifully animated in 2D, makes you wish that there were more films made this way. Go to Full Review

Jay W Jul 3 This is the same studio that brought us "Ernest and Celestine", and man, they have done it again. They know how to make a truly cute and charming little adventures with fun and likable characters. This is a film that is clearly targeted towards little kids, but there is fun to be had by the whole family. Quality has no age limit. The animation style is like a kids' story book came to life. The humor is not a barrage of pop culture references, nor low brow fart jokes, but character driven comedic routines that all can enjoy. The framing of it being 3 separate stories does make it feel a bit like TV show quality. But since I enjoyed all 3 episodes, it is still a good time.

See more 01/12/2021 Watched in French. My favorite movie to watch with kids. I probably watch it 200 times and always laugh all the way to the end. Can swap a bad day to a sweet one. Un chef d'oeuvre ! See more 05/28/2020 a really Beautifully animated film, with cute character design and details. but a lot of talking which I'm afraid would make the kids bored. Only for the ones who could feel the warmth of the jokes and the humble story. See more 11/07/2019 This movie completely would be one of the best Fox movies ever accomplished but it's a french film so basically you couldn't see why they're lip syncing couldn't match the voices but I don't think it matters. I see that this is 100% better then Arctic Dogs. The Big Bad Fox & Other Stories gets the final rating of 10/10 See more Read all reviews
