Whoever thinks that the countryside is calm and peaceful is mistaken. In it we find especially agitated animals, a Fox that thinks it's a chicken, a Rabbit that acts like a stork, and a Duck who wants to replace Father Christmas. If you want to take a vacation, keep driving past this place… Big Bad Fox & Other Tales is co-directed by filmmakers Patrick Imbert (animation director on April and the Extraordinary World) & Benjamin Renner (co-director of Ernest & Celestine), working with animation studio Folivari based in France. The screenplay is co-written by Benjamin Renner and Jean Regnaud, adapted from Renner's own acclaimed graphic novel. This first premiered at the Annecy Film Festival last year, and also played at the Toronto, London, and Leeds Film Festivals. GKids will release the English language version of Big Bad Fox & Other Tales in select US theaters later this fall. Stay tuned for an exact release date. Who wants to watch?
