The Fox Hunt is an odd cartoon for me. On one hand, it’s a funny, gag-filled short that mocks the upper-class “gentlemen” on the fox hunt – and of course, the fox gets away. On the other hand, it’s about a fox hunt. Thinking back, my entire knowledge of fox hunts came from cartoons, especially this one and the Donald & Goofy short made later in the decade. Perhaps looking at it through the viewpoint of the 21st century does it an injustice. As always, the animation is top-notch and Frank Churchill’s score is memorable.
