Le Renard et l'enfant (The Fox and the Child)
From the Writer and Director of the Oscar-winning March of the Penguins
On a beautiful fall morning, walking along on a country road, a little girl comes upon a small wild fox. Fascinated, she cautiously approaches it. For a moment, the barriers separating the child and the animal are all but erased.
And so begins one of the most beautiful and unforgettable friendships ever told on film. With the fox's help, the girl will discover an untamed secret world... An adventure that will change her life, her view of the world, and our own.

I cannot get over how absolutely stunning all of the locations are for this movie. It's so mesmerizing and calming.
I resignated with the main character, for 1 she looks alot like myself at that age and her kindered spirit to connect on many levels with animals was a map to my own youth. Jacquet's follow-up to his very successful first outing definitely has similair visual splendor and some very impressive interactive footage of the little girl and the fox. However, the story is whimsical and the little girl becomes quite frustrating in her stupidity in attempting to domesticate the wild animal.a fabulous foxy film! - tbird
what makes the film really work well is that the director didn't humanize the fox.the fox hunts, digs for mice and is true to his fox nature.the film also had a very deep message about wild animals and how they cannot be kept captive.the girl and the fox connect, but they are in different worlds.as well, the film visually is stunningly photographed.it is a visual treat on top of its heart wrenching story.Cute - LilyandMick
This story narrated kind of movie was little different than what I was expected. But the wild Foxes were so cute to watch in this movie and how she touches and play with them. If this had more storyline to follow, it could've been better. Overall, I enjoyed the cuteness of Fox and the nature.
