Le Roman de Renard

Streaming video - 1937

Based on the medieval legend of Reynard the Fox, this puppet-animated film by Ladislas Starewitch is a sharp satire on authority, justice, and deception. In a kingdom ruled by animals, Reynard repeatedly faces accusations for his trickery and mischief, yet his cleverness always keeps him one step ahead. King Lion decides to put him on trial, but Reynard’s cunning allows him to outwit his accusers through a series of brilliant manipulations. With groundbreaking animation and biting humor, LE ROMAN DE RENARD stands as a landmark in European animation before World War II, blending technical innovation with rich allegorical storytelling.
