SUMMARY:The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales
DESCRIPTION:Free screenings from 10 a.m. – noon.  \nThe countryside isn’t always as calm and peaceful as it’s made out to be\, and the animals on this farm are particularly agitated: a fox who mothers a family of chicks\, a rabbit who plays the stork\, and a duck who wants to be Santa Claus. If you think life in the country is a walk in the park\, think again! Directors Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert adapt Renner’s own acclaimed graphic novel into a delirious\, delightful triptych of interlocking stories\, with a pacing and visual spontaneity that harkens back to classic Looney Tunes shorts and slapstick two-reelers. But underneath the gags (and there are plenty of them)\, the three stories offer a sensitive and beautiful portrayal of family\, and the anxieties of modern life. \n“Ideal viewing for young children.” – Chicago Reader \n“A delightful animated anthology which brings three laugh out loud stories to the big screen with wit and grace.” – HeyUGuys \n“Appropriate for ages 5+.” – Common Sense Media \n \n
