The Tale of the Fox was stop-motion animation pioneer Ladislas Starevich's first fully-animated feature film. It is based on the tales of Reynard the Fox. Although the animation was finished in Paris after an 18-month period (1929-1930), there were major problems with adding a soundtrack to the film. Finally, funding was given for a German soundtrack by the Nazi regime (Goethe had written a classic version of the Renard legend) and this version had its premiere in Berlin in April 1937. Released eight months before Disney's Snow White, it is the world's sixth-ever animated feature film (and the second to use puppet animation, following The New Gulliver from the USSR).

The film was released in France with a French language soundtrack in 1941; this is the version which is currently available on DVD.
