— Disney has a mixed record on their portrayal of foxes, which range from the villainous to the heroic. On the one hand, “Honest John” Foulfellow of the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio was a scoundrel, a sly anthropomorphic fox and known criminal who tricks Pinocchio twice in the film; negative stereotyping! In fairness to Disney, however, both the fox and cat characters were depicted as con men who lead Pinocchio astray and try unsuccessfully to murder him in the original Adventures of Pinocchio story, a tale which is quite dark in places. The Fox and Cat in the original story even pretend to sport disabilities, the Fox lameness and the Cat blindness! Felines will probably take offense at the cat in Disney’s Pinocchio as well, as he isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer…
–There’s also the rather negative portrayal of foxes presented by Br’er Fox
in Disney’s Song of the South, a classic film now almost banished due to political incorrectness. While Br’er Fox and his dimmer sidekick Br’er Bear are likely offensive to vulpines and ursines, they are still portrayed in a rather broad comic sense, and we’ll let Br’er Rabbit walk away with this one, which you’re not likely to see anymore in public anyways! The film is accordingly relegated to the status of a cult classic, with 19th century southern drawls and all. If you’ve never seen it, try to catch it sometime and form your own opinion!
— Then for a heroic fox, it’s hard to beat Disney’s Robin Hood, with a very affable vulpine in the title role. Most furolks genuinely like this film and for good reason, even though the characters are somewhat stereotypic and parts of the film footage including dance sequences were borrowed or adapted from other Disney creations to save a little time and money.– Still, two paws up for Robin Hood and a positive portrayal of foxes!
This brief consideration should not by any means be considered an exhaustive look at all Disney fox characters, but is only regarded as a consideration of three examples possibly familiar to the readership. The views presented here are only those of the blogger (who is a real piece of work, anyways)…
— Having already considered the Trix Rabbit, it is only fair that we also consider the Nesquik Bunny, wondering perhaps which one might win in a Deadliest Warrior deathmatch…
— Disney stuff is usually too mainstream and white breadish for me, but I have to love Perry the Platypus, pet of the title characters in the Disney Channel show, Phineas and Ferb. Unknown to his owners, Perry (aka “Agent P”) lives a parallel life as a secret agent for The Agency, a government organization of animal spies. Pretending to be a mindless house pet, Perry is secretly a fedora-wearing secret agent who enjoys romance soap operas and potato chips.

–On May 1st, X-Men Origins: Wolverine will open in the U.S., with Hugh Jackman in the title role. Because of his furry nature, Wolverine is a fave of mine, and Jackman portrayed him well in the previous three X-Men movies.

–Chad Carpenter’s comic strip Tundra has been around since late 1991, but has just recently found publication in newspapers in my area. The comic usually deals with wildlife, nature, and outdoor life, and was named best newpaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society, also receiving the Reuben Award in 2008. 
Q:–What is a wok?
–Whitehall, New York has a history of sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures extending from Indian lore to as recently as 2006. This small town on the eastern edge of New York’s Adirondack Mountain Preserve has long been consider a “hotbed” of Eastern North American Bigfoot activity. As described by MonsterQuest, the Monster of Whitehall is a sasquatch-like creature that stands up to eight feet tall, and makes a sound like a woman screaming. Several police officers reported a Bigfoot sighting in 1976, and the original officers have recently passed polygraph tests.
