The City Fox

About This Movie

The City Fox is this charming little gem from '72 that transports you to San Francisco's vibrant streets, weaving in elements of family adventure with a light-hearted tone. The pacing is gentle, allowing viewers to savor the moments between the young fox's misadventures and his budding friendship with the boy in Chinatown. Practical effects give the film a raw, authentic feel, and the performances, especially from the young lead, bring a certain warmth that resonates. It’s not just about a fox lost in the city; it's about connection and the journey back to nature, which gives the film a unique thematic depth for its time.

The City Fox has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector's market, mainly because it was a TV movie that didn't receive a large physical release. Most copies are old VHS tapes, and the recent trend of digitizing these classics has brought some renewed interest. It's not the easiest find, which makes it a curious piece for those who appreciate family-oriented stories from the early '70s.
