A Fox's Tale

A Fox's Tale (known as Kis Vuk in Hungary) is a 2008 Hungarian computer-animated film. The movie is based on Istvan Fekete's book The Little Fox and is the sequel to the 1981 film of the same name. It was meant to be the first Hungarian CGI-animated movie.

Plot
Little Jack is a young fox living happily with his family in the woods, but everything changes when his father is captured by a circus troupe in order to be part of their show. The rest of the forest animals will share the same destiny. With the help of a nature-loving disabled boy in a wheelchair and a young acrobat girl, Little Jack sets out to rescue the animals.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Ugly CGI animation with a lot of animation errors. The fall color palette, in particular, is very washed out and makes the film look like it was shot in the 1970s. Granted, it was Hungary's first CGI film, but they could've at least had better animation.
 * 2) *Don't help the fact that this movie was in development from 2005.
 * 3) It's extremely unfaithful and a huge middle finger to the original source material.
 * 4) Poorly written or unlikeable characters (incluing the main character).
 * 5) Idiotic songs (for starters, there's a rapping crow!)
 * 6) It's somewhat a bit too dark for a movie made for kids, with scenes where animals get violently killed on-screen.
 * 7) The characters look nothing like they did in the original film.
 * 8) Wasted the talents of Freddie Highmore, Miranda Richardson, Bill Nighy, Sienna Miller, etc.
 * 9) The writing is very poor, with cheesy humour that falls flat.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Unlike other English dubs of foreign media, at least it isn't full of broken English.

Reception
The film became infamous for the extremely negative criticism it got from its Hungarian audience, who were mainly disappointed by the film's failure to capture the style and spirit of the original 1981 film.

Trivia

 * After being shown the first animated trailer, Attila Dargay's (who directed the original 1981 film) reaction to it was: "No comment".
 * 20% of the movie's budget was financed by the Hungarian government. It cost 1.4 billion Hungarian Forint (roughly $5 million in US Dollars) to make.
 * The movie's official website remained accessible for several years after the film's release. The last news entry was dated May 24, 2008. The link for its official forum redirected visitors to e621.net, an adult image-sharing site with pornographic furry and "My Little Pony" artwork
