It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The Cunning Little Vixen is perhaps my favourite Janacek opera, though I am very fond of Jenufa as well. I knew I had to see this animated featurette, and I wasn't disappointed. For a live production of the opera, I recommend the wonderful 1995 performance with Thomas Allen as the Forrester. A quarter of the opera is cut here, but considering it's a featurette and an animated one at that that wasn't a problem. The basic story feel, enchanting and moving, is there still. The music is still gorgeous, helped by the beautiful orchestral playing and Kent Nagano's sensitive and suitably spacious reading. Christine Buffle has a lovely and youthful-sounding voice and is endearing in the title role, while Grant Doyle sings with such warmth and richness as the Forrester. All the characters have colourful personalities, which immediately makes them identifiable to anybody whatever age they are. The visuals are another outstanding asset, the backgrounds especially are really luscious and do have that enchanting look in the colours. Overall, a really fantastic animated Cunning Little Vixen. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is a very well thought out and developed opera. Odds are that you've read previous reviews. This IS REALLY good. But to get to the point, this is not for children. Drinking occurs in this as well as blood and brief sexual content. This sexual content is only 3 seconds but involves A vixen (which is female) peeing on a badger at one point. On top of that it shows where it comes from. BUT this still a good opera. If you're a woman, you'll be offended. If you are an adult don't show this to you're children. If you are 14, you may watch this. Im not saying all women and children will hate this, but they should be prepared for it.

Just watched this animated featurette of Leos Janacek's opera as directed by Geoff Dunbar on YouTube. It's mainly about a female fox who as a child gets taken from her mother to this man's house. Three months later as an adult, she escapes but not before killing all the chickens that her master and his wife had raised. Back in the forest, she meets a male fox and falls for him. After she gets pregnant, he agrees to marry her...I'll stop right there and say this was a pretty touching story of this lady fox and her adventures despite her brutal nature concerning other animals. Both the music and the voices chosen to verbalize the story are wonderfully played throughout. And Dunbar's animation provide some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in an animated project. So with all that said, I highly recommend The Cunning Little Vixen.
