Description In the midst of the English countryside, two hungry foxes who simply want to feed themselves are continuously being thwarted by a greedy and avaricious heron. I owe a lot of the inspiration for this animated short to the classic Looney Tunes shorts and several Cosgrove Hall cartoons. Those cartoon models sheet scans sure do come in handy.

This is my ninth Flash animated cartoon and probably the one that I have spent the most time and effort on - nearly six months in the making! Also, at over four and a half minutes long it is the longest cartoon I have ever made as well - and I never anticipated that it would ever get near that long!

I would also like to say a special thankyou to SeizeTheMoment, who went out of his way to compose the music for this cartoon.

Obviously. What I'm planning takes place in one location (so not too many backgrounds) and has, at the most, two characters.

This was great, I loved it! The animation was done pretty well, it kind of reminded me of those vintage cartoons from the 40's and 50's, good job.

Thats was good stuff man. One question though; when the fox gets into the food coldstore, where'd he get a suit small enough to fit him from?

FreyFox In reply to SuperBaydron [2011-03-25 16:24:24 +0000 UTC]

He stole it from a kid or a dwarf? I don't know

SuperBaydron In reply to FreyFox [2011-03-26 12:30:07 +0000 UTC]

Dwarf I'd say, that way he'd get the ID as well. Then he'd have used the spare change in the dwarf's suit pockets to get a passport photo out of one of them kiosks. He'd then use one of the fishing hooks of his mates rod to cut open the ID and replace the dwarfs photo with his own, and heat of the nearby railway track could reseal it. Dogs wouldnt be able to spot a con job, they're trained to be too obeidient, also they cant read. Residual scent of the dwarf owner would linger to confuse them too.

Very awesome work here keen!! Loved it!!
My screen is much too big to watch it on though, I could see all the areas that would normally be cut off X'D and my sound was off too.

FreyFox In reply to Vixen8387 [2011-03-25 16:22:58 +0000 UTC]

There is some issues with the sound because of my Flash software; It doesn't affect some of my older ones, just the more recent ones - weird! Thank you anyway The version I submitted on youtube doesn't suffer these problems

It's similar to the Road Runner an Coyote cartoons, but at the end, Road Runner lose!
