Although Wes Anderson based his acclaimed animation Fantastic Mr. Fox on Roald Dahl’s book of the same name, some inspiration for the roguish fox comes from this masterful film by Ladislas Starewitch, a pioneer of stop-motion animation. The story draws from classic animal fables: sometimes Fox’s tricks are harmless, like flattering Crow into dropping his piece of cheese. Sometimes they are troublesome, like causing Wolf to lose his tail on a frozen lake. His Majesty the Lion is obligated to listen to his subject’s complaints, and bring peace to his kingdom. He starts by declaring that everyone shall become a vegetarian, and then orders punishment for Fox. Widely considered Starewitch’s most accomplished work, and codirected with his daughter, it is filled with whimsy, genuinely inventive gags, and a contagious charm. Released eight months before Disney’s Snow White, it is the world’s sixth-ever animated feature film. Special thanks to Léona-Béatrice Martin-Starewicz, the animator’s granddaughter; and Annabelle Shaw and Andrew Youndell of the British Film Institute.
