The 2nd stop-motion animated film in animation history
27 December 2009 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

I had watched this 1930 French stop-motion animated film last night on YouTube, and I thought it was great film.

This film is also the 2nd stop-motion animated film in animation history. The film is based on the old medieval stories of Reynard the Fox, and all the trick he plays on the animals in King Lion's court; they were trying to bring to justice for his trickery - in which punishment is being hung. I could clearly see the inspiration for Disney's version of Robin Hood. And inspiration for the 2009 stop-motion film Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Overall, I had really enjoy this film, and it is now one of my favorite foreign animated films.
