The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales

Director: Patrick Imbert, Benjamin Renner
Actors: Guillaume Darnault, Damien Witecka, Kamel Abdessadok
PlotIn a whimsical farm, a clumsy fox who is terrible at being ferocious attempts to steal eggs for food but ends up becoming an unintended surrogate parent when the unsuspecting chicks mistake him for their mother after they hatch. Despite the initial chaos, the fox forms a bond with them and faces a series of comedic challenges as he takes on the unexpected role of protecting the chicks from dangers like a grumpy, militant hen and other predators who ridicule his predicament.
On the same farm, other amusing stories unfold: a stork convinces a pig, a rabbit, and a duck to take on his delivery duty, resulting in an outlandish journey to deliver a baby to its rightful home. Meanwhile, the farm’s bumbling inhabitants continuously find themselves in absurd situations, often revolving around misunderstandings and slapstick mishaps. The seemingly disjointed tales are cleverly interconnected by their setting and shared characters, ultimately showcasing heartwarming themes of family, friendship, and the topsy-turvy adventures of rural life.
