The fact that Tex Avery directed a magnificent cartoon for MGM shouldn't come as a big surprise. During this time at the studio, he made some of the most enjoyable and iconic cartoon shorts of all time...and "Out-Foxed" is among his best.
The cartoon features Droopy and an incredibly erudite fox, with a Ronald Colman-type manner and voice. Droopy and a bunch of hounds have been sent out on a strange fox hunt....no people, no horses and the dogs are sent out on their own to retrieve the fox. Well, again and again, the fox outwits the dogs....but the manner which he does it is what makes the cartoon as well as how sweet and likable Droopy is. Plus, have no fear...not foxes are hurt in the film...and in fact it ends on a very high note. Lots of fun and well worth seeing.
