Fox so nimble
Mouse so quick
The owls said
"They have a trick!"
Fox and mouse
Fell through the ice
But the fox did something nice
Best friends
As you can see
Fox and mouse...
Happy as can be

This is my favorite animation EVER. Thank you guys for making it. Its breathtakingly beautiful. 5/5.

The nonverbalized threat:
"The mouse is mine. But YOU would make a much better meal."

[Fishystyxx]

this is better than a Disney film, because usually someone close to the main character dies, but in this its all happy time

[Skyfox]

This was so beautiful! Very cute and adorable characters. Yay for new friendships!

[kawaiibunny]

This one is my fave because it has nice calm music that actually sounds great for a movie and the animation is extraordinary.
This would make a great movie though!

Disney:The lion king is a brand new live action film
People:Are the animals made of CGI?
Disney:Yes
People:Is the background out of CGI?
Disney:Yes
People:So it’s an animated film
Disney:it’s live action

I love this animation. Stunning effects, music was perfect, and I enjoyed the "unlikely friends to the rescue" plot. The creators should all be very proud of this one.

[ngljustwannavibe]

The animation style is so beautiful! Love the fur especially

[anjabrasler]

I love how at first the fox was trying to hunt the mouse, but when they both fell in the water and the mouse couldn’t swim, he realized how much he actually cared about the mouse and he saved it and risked drowning himself. Them he protected the mouse from the owls and they became friends! It’s so cute and sweet!

[jedi_cat_l]

I like how that opening is very true to how a fox hunts.

[Dog_Therian]

Very cute! I like The details and the work, good job!

[animallover]

I love how you got the animals. Fox are more likely to play with mouse and owls are more likely to eat them. You got that spot on. :)

[luckycat]

I really like this! But at The end I think the mouse should have showed the fox where some fresh berries are *because foxes don't only eat mice they eat fruit and berries too* and after the mouse showed the fox I the mouse and fox should have then started to jump around and play. *also I think why the mouse should have showed the fox berries is because clearly the fox was hungry because why were they trying to find a mouse to eat in the first place* or maybe the fox was just looking for a friend instead of trying to eat.

[SuperCheetah]

This is really well done! The colors and stylistic choices look very pleasing to the eye and overall look amazing on screen. I love the choice of colors and smoothness of the animation, and how you could tell that the wind was blowing cold air across the fur of the mouse and the fox. I really like this, and it really sets an example of what CGI can look like if used more stylistically.

[danielleh]

Awww, I only came because of the fox to. . . SO CUTE!!! It reminds me of Wild craft an online game that is 3D and foxes look exactly like that!🦊

[lodgimoss]

Why did I get recommended this after 2 years? I remember this being my favourite short film when I was younger

[Natalieejlc]

this animation is truly one of a kind. So precious x

[tennelle]

I've always preferred the look of 2d animation, but this is still pretty good! I'm sure it took many many long hours

[IAmTheNerdHuman]

I love this film it shows how foxes are not so mean but they can be kind and gentle...even funny
