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

The first must-see film of the year.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

. . . Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes from Warner Bros. 1925-1950 Golden Age had a social agenda, it's hard not to look for one in FOX-TERROR. Obviously, Warner intends the title character here to represent the American One Per Cent. The fox has just one thing on his mind: plundering the chickens. The chickens, of course, are meant to represent We, the 99%. The mostly ineffectual "guardian" rooster and "watch" dog stand in here for the U.S. Congress and legal system Constitutionally charged with safe-guarding the 99% from Tyrannical One Per Centers such as Britain's King George III. As FOX-TERROR documents, the Congressional/Rooster/Dog had become the easily bamboozled dumbest among us by the 1950s. Like the little chicken in this cartoon, We the People keep yanking our Congressional/Cop/Courts "Who-are-you-going-to-call? Trust Busters!" alarm chain, but Congress and the Police no longer even bother to answer the calls coming in from the Common Man (or Chicken). Warner appends an optimistic close to this animated short. Few could muster such Hope today.

A sly fox manipulates Foghorn Leghorn into getting Barnyard Dog away from the hen house but his schemes backfire. I love me some Foghorn Leghorn but here the real star is the fox. He's a fun character. Love the racetrack tout routine. Wish I had a yellow plaid suit like that. The tout seems to be modeled after Sheldon Leonard's character from the Jack Benny radio and TV shows. Foghorn is fun but almost seems like a supporting character in his own short. Barnyard Dog is good, as is the little rooster who keeps pulling the alarm at the hen house. This is a pretty funny short but not one of Foghorn's best. The animation's nice and the voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great.

I personally wouldn't count Fox-Terror as a classic, like say What's Opera Doc? or Duck Amuck, but it is great fun nonetheless. With a surprise of an ending and some inspired surreal gags it is just fun, despite its rather hectic pacing and somewhat predictable story. The animation is fluid and colourful like a vast majority of the Looney Tunes cartoons, and the music is rousing enough. Also prevalent are some good scripting and stellar vocal performances from Mel Blanc. The characters are their engaging selves, Foghorn is a delight to see, the hound dog is funny, the little rooster is cute and most significantly the fox is a worthy adversary.Overall, not classic status but an entertaining and recommendable watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox

When measuring Foghorn Leghorn shorts by their co-stars, ‘Fox-Terror' comes out a winner, as it features two inspired new characters. First up is the terror of the title, who got his paws on the most incredible plaid suit that shows the same pattern which ever way he turns. The second new character is a tiny panic stricken rooster in charge of pulling the Fox Alarm cord. For once Foghorn and the Barnyard Dog (or ‘Mule' as Foggy affectionately calls him) are not interested in hurting each other at all. The rooster only wants to go fish (figure that) while the dog is very adamant about guarding the chickens for a change (shame he misunderstands that tiny rooster all the time). It is that foxy master of disguise who continually tricks them into hurting each other.This Foghorn feature has a lot more surreal gags than usual. For instance characters change their outfits simply by spinning round (years before Lynda Carter made it hip). This leads to nearly everybody wearing one of those plaid suits and a surprising ending (compared to some other Leghorn shorts I could mention).8 out of 10
