Foxed! (2013) User Reviews

Girl in the mirror

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 5 October 2015]

"Foxed!" is a very short animated film from 2 years ago made by Nev Bezaire and James E.D. Stewart, two young ambitious filmmakers. The tone is a bit like "Coraline" and I wonder what the duo will come up with in the coming years. There is certainly potential for a full feature film on the evil foxes and on Emily. I thought this one here was an atmospheric 3 minutes, good watch from start to finish that had nothing really new in terms of story or drama that hasn't been done in other horror animation films yet, but it certainly shows some nice potential, even if there were no wow-moments in here that had me on the edge of my seat. All in all, I recommend this and I can see why it got some decent awards attentions. Makes me want to see more. Thumbs up.

Interesting atmospheric animation

Foxes tend to be portrayed in animated works as cute, almost puppy-esque animals, so effectively portraying them as creepy, malevolent creatures was definately an interesting feat.

In many ways, this feels like a fragment from a bigger story, and I really hope this eventually gets turned into a feature length film, since the premise has a lot of potential.

At first sigh, all is well known. the story, the characters, the referinces to Coraline and Little Red Riding Hood , the secret plan and the poor victim . but the animation is beautiful, the subject interesting and the film so short than you dream to another, giving explanations and using the pieces from this film as a fascinating, dark story. and this is all. enjoy it !

You can't outfox a fox.

'Foxed! (2013)' is an animated horror short about a girl who attempts to escape from the foxes who have captured her and forced her to work in a mine. The piece definitely feels like a teaser for a larger project, lasting just a little longer than a trailer and leaving you with the same feeling of wanting more. For what it is, though, it's a solid effort, especially when it comes to its rough-around-the-edges but still satisfying stop-motion animation. The story is simple yet successful, with a really callous undercurrent that makes its horror hit even harder. It perhaps explains itself a little too much, but the premise is enjoyable and the ending is suitably frustrating. Overall, this is an effective little picture that would benefit from some further fleshing out.
