Don't Believe the Hype

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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 !

"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.
