The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales (Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert)

Adapted from an acclaimed series of comic books written and illustrated by co-director Benjamin Renner, this delightful animated film is charmingly old-fashioned in its graphics but sly and witty in its contents. Consisting of three stories featuring a recurring cast of hapless farm animals, the film is presented as a theatrical revue, with the “big bad” fox (who is in fact anything but) appearing on a stage before each segment to introduce the action. A treat for the whole family. The film will be introduced by Claire Sagan (Political Science) and Pierre-Louis Philipponnat (French) will lead a post-screening discussion.
