Fox Pop is a 1942 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones.
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.
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 four of the fox's many misinterpret visualizations on how foxes are all the rage in the United States in this cartoon as mentioned on the radio the fox listens to are the following (in order of appearance):
- "...On 5th Avenue,": The fox visualizes himself being surrounded by smartly-dressed high-class foxes like himself on 5th Avenue.
- "...On Hollywood Boulevard,": The fox visualizes himself passing by a cafe filled with famous movie celebrities of the time such as Edward G Robinson and Greta Garbo.
- "...Yes, and even Miami.": The fox visualizes himself surrounded on Miami Beach with a group of swimsuit-clad women.
- "The discriminating woman everywhere will insist to have a genuine fox around her neck": The fox visualizes himself kissing a woman who loves to have a living fox around her neck.
- In the third visualization, some of the swimsuit-clad women the fox is surrounded by are depicted wearing two-piece bikini-type swimsuits. While these kind of midriff-barring swimwear were not made famous yet until at least in 1946 after World War II ended and would not receive widespread acceptance in American society until at least the early-1960s, at the time of this cartoon's release, vast rationing of clothing fabrics due to World War II resulted these much skimpier women's swimwear of the time to debut in the United States [1].
- The Sterling Silver Fox Farm farmer has a French-accented voice similar to that of Chuck Jones' famous creation Pepe Le Pew who would debut later in 1945.
- 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 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.
