Fox Pop is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon, starring a fox character in his only appearance.

Plot

A fox makes a monumental error when he hears that silver foxes are highly prized, not realizing that only the skin is prized, not the fox it's attached to after hearing a commercial on the radio in a cabin while foraging in the trash alley. After an awful experience at the fox farm, the fox secretly steals the radio from the cabin (without being noticed by the owner), grabs an axe and destroys it. Two crows who see his actions, at first think the fox is crazy until the fox tells the whole story. The crows, understanding what the fox has been through, proceed to join the fox in destroying the radio as the cartoon ends.

Notes

  • In real life, silver foxes are melanistic forms of actual red foxes, and they have a darker grey fur as opposed to this cartoon which depicted silver foxes with genuine silver-colored fur.
  • The cartoon fell into the public domain in 1971 when United Artists, the successor to AAP, failed to renew the copyright in time.
  • The dubbed version is on Boomerang and the DVD Kings Row, but the unrestored a.a.p. version is on LaserDisc (and also airs on Cartoon Network and Boomerang in Latin America and Tooncast), both which can be found on many YouTube videos.

Goofs

  • For unknown reasons, this cartoons EU dubbed version has the wrong dubbed ending card. The same thing happens on the EU prints of Hobo Gadget Band, I Only Have Eyes for You, and A Feud There Was. The US dubbed version, however, retains the 1948 dubbed card. The EU dubbed version uses the 1938-41 end cue, while the US retains the original end cue.
