Screenplay - Ede Tarbay
Review
I had no idea that VUK: THE LITTLE FOX existed when I discovered this Hungarian animated feature on YouTube. I'm surprised that VUK came out in the same year as another cartoon about a fox made by Disney, The Fox and the Hound, which fortunately doesn't include any similarities. The animation of VUK was a bit like anime but had its unique style. The other aspect that lives up to this Hungarian movie is the story. The film does have a lot of sad and funny moments. These scenes include Vuk discovering his family missing and the two drunk geese.
Unfortunately, VUK is hard to track down. Due to it being a foreign film, but for those keen to watch it, you can find it elsewhere on the internet.
Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
