Foxy Pup

About This Movie

Foxy Pup is a curious little gem from 1937 that showcases some seriously impressive Technicolor animation for its time. The story dances around the theme of foxhunting in a rather whimsical way, with a group of basset pups who inadvertently find themselves in a bit of a pickle. One of them gets nabbed by a crafty fox and dragged off to its den, which leads to a series of amusing and, at times, chaotic moments. The pacing keeps things lively, with just the right amount of antics and charm that you’d expect from vintage animation. It’s an interesting commentary on hunting, wrapped in playful visuals and clever situations that make you think, while still keeping the tone light and entertaining.

Foxy Pup is a somewhat elusive piece in the animation collector's realm. With its mix of vibrant Technicolor and a light-hearted narrative, it's not as widely circulated in various formats, making it a bit of a rarity among 1930s animations. Many collectors appreciate its unique stance on hunting themes within a playful storyline, which sets it apart from other animated shorts of the era. As a result, it garners interest not only for its visual appeal but also for its historical context in animation.
