'Fox and the Whale' is a 2016 Canadian animated short film directed by Robin Joseph.

Plot



The short film takes place over what appears to be three or four nights. It features a fox desperately searching across a seaside and through a lush forest for the whale. The viewers are able to hear crickets, woodpeckers, birds, waterfalls, water rushing through a creek, and a storm as the fox wanders throughout the forest. He goes fishing, sleeps in a cave, watches birds, star gazes, and dreams about meeting the whale. There are many creatures in the forest, butterflies, a rabbit, a frog, and many fish. But the fox seems to have his heart set on meeting the whale. When he finally finds the whale, all that is left is the skeleton. The fox touches the skeleton and appears to be saddened as he paddles away with his eyes closed.[https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2017/10/10/fox-and-the-whale/ Short of the Week]
