I'll never forget the first time living in the country that I saw a fox running across the road to go into the woods. I was fascinated by the little orange creature, notoriously shy yet rumored to be extremely cunning. These adorable small canines are perhaps the most fascinating of the wild non-domestic dog family. This oscar-nominated Warner Brothers short manages to film an orphaned fox as it ventures out into the wild after being chased off from its den by a pack of hunting dogs. The little fox cub is absolutely adorable, and I dare anyone to not think of the power they could have to reach through their screen and pick up the cuddly looking animal that should be left to its own life in the wild.

The film is probably too short and certainly it would be fascinating to see it in color in all its orange glory. but as a glimpse of nature, it is fascinating yet sad because of how the film dramatizes the death of the poor cub's mother. There's also a little glimpse of the cub's father, having returned out into the wild after helping the mother build the Cubs den and looking over his brood from afar. These one reeler shorts about nature are more of a tease because the audience Longs for so much more. But for the camera to get in close and to show the life of any wild creature does answer questions and create more, and are fascinating particularly for young children curious about wild animals.
