Out-Foxed

About This Movie

Out-Foxed is a delightful little short that showcases the charm of classic animation from the late '40s. You’ve got Droopy, that wonderfully deadpan character, who’s surrounded by a pack of hounds determined to catch a clever fox—who, interestingly enough, enjoys his tea. The pacing here is relaxed, allowing the humor to unfold naturally, with a nice balance between the antics of the hounds and the crafty fox. The animation style reflects the era’s aesthetic, and you can feel the playful vibe throughout. It’s a charming snapshot of the time, and while the title may not ring bells for everyone, its quirky premise and character interactions make it a distinctive piece for any animation enthusiast. The minimalistic yet effective use of practical effects adds to its charm.

Out-Foxed is one of those charming shorts that collectors often overlook, though it holds a special place in the animation timeline of the late 1940s. The film has seen limited releases on various formats over the years, and its scarcity in good condition can make it a bit of a treasure hunt for enthusiasts. Interest in Droopy and his antics keeps this title relevant, even if it's not the most mainstream choice among collectors.
