Robert Reynolds This is an early short in the Silly Symphonies series produced by Disney. There will be spoilers ahead:This is a very cute cartoon, if nothing special. It's simply a series of gags with the basic framing device of a fox hunt. The short starts at break of day, with birds singing and a rooster crowing. There's a nicely animated sequence with a blacksmith and a farrier working in perfect unison.We're treated to a quartet in reasonably fine voice and then the main business starts and the rest of the cartoon is gags related to a fox hunt. It's visual gags galore here, with dogs going wild, riders jumping on horses, a nice bit on horses clearing a jump and a fox running to escape. There's one rider whose day is far more interesting than he probably liked or wanted, with him riding more than just a horse. Various animals are less happy than he is, because they're being ridden. The ending of the short is extremely nice, so I won't spoil it here.This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD set and it's well worth seeking out.

MissSimonetta Light on gags and worthwhile character animation, The Fox Hunt (1931) is a lesser Silly Symphony. It certainly does not have the energy or atmosphere of something such as The Skeleton Dance (1929) or The Old Mill (1937)The major compensation is the backgrounds and illusion of depth, which was lovely to see. Then again, Disney has almost always had beautiful backgrounds in their films. Even their most wretched works (sans the ugly Chicken Little film from 2005) has that redeeming factor.Otherwise, this will likely bore most people, save for those who can be entertained by lovely backgrounds alone.

MartinHafer Although Disney also brought out another short in 1938 by the same name, it was not a remake but a Goofy cartoon. This 1931 example is one of the studio's Silly Symphonies--a cartoon short that consists of lots of music and characters cavorting about all set to this music. Unlike most in the series, this one depicts people and not just animals or anamorphic objects. Now considering that the topic is the politically incorrect fox hunt, my bet is that many will be offended by a film making such 'sport' look fun. My feelings are regardless of the cruelty of the sport, the cartoon just isn't a shining example of the art of Disney. While the backgrounds are nice, the dogs and hunters are drawn very cartoony--much more than in other films in the series. This just makes it all see pretty cheap by comparison with the other Symphonies. Overall, it's not a terrible film but it certainly isn't among their best--but it also has lots of humor that younger audience members will enjoy--making one of the better films in the series for kids.

boblipton One of the weaker Silly Symphonies, this one is quite enjoyable, but fails in a basic aesthetic rule of animation: if it could have been shot as a live-action short, then it doesn't need to be a cartoon, and therefore isn't a good one.Now, you may disagree with this aesthetic rule of mine, and I won't dispute it too strongly. Nor is this a poor movie: the gags are strong and a fair number of them need to be animated, since the 'transformation' gags are clearly animation of gags. But there are plenty of live action fox hunts in the movies, and this could have been done that way. But it has its pleasures nonetheless.
