The Phox, the Box, & the Lox(1999)

The Phox, the Box, & the Lox is an animated short that adapts a Fractured Fairy Tales segment from Jay Ward's classic "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show." Set in the whimsical town of Pudding on the Ritz, a cunning fox devises an elaborate scheme to trick a hapless victim into opening a cursed treasure chest. The plan backfires spectacularly, turning the tables on the schemer himself. This playful tale captures the irreverent humor and clever wordplay that defined Ward's beloved series, blending slapstick comedy with surprisingly sharp wit. The short premiered as the opening feature before the live-action film "Dudley Do-Right," introducing audiences to the fox's misadventure before the main event.
