The Fox and the Hen

Fox vs. the Hen

Synopsis: We come into the story where a Hen is being chased by a fox and assume by the traps that the Fox is trying to capture and eat the hen. After two or three failed attempts, the Fox finally outwits the Hen. Just as we assume the fox is going in for the kill, the fox helps the Hen up and the two walk off into the distance. It’s more about the game and the thrill of the chase than it is killing the Hen.

1. Open with a beautiful and calm nature shot with a butterfly flying around and then a Hen appears in the distance being chased by a fox. The fox throws knives at the Hen as he jumps over a tree stump the knives get stuck in it. The Hen reaches a cliff and jumps over it. The foxes chases and falls as the Hen pulls out a parachute.
2. The fox sets up a trip wire followed by a net for the Hen to get caught in. The fox then chases the Hen through the trap and gets caught himself instead.
3. We follow the Hen up a hill where it finds a trail of feed. The Hen follows the feed up the hill to a platter and keeps eating. The Hen eats the feed triggering a complex trap. Intrigued by the continuous reactions, the Hen follows along the trap to the end where a bubble is blown. Stunned, the hen realizes he is standing on an X. As he starts to look up, a net falls on top of him and he is trapped by the Fox. The fox pulls the net off and stares at the chicken with an “I’m going to eat you” look. After a few seconds, the two laugh as the fox helps the Chicken to it’s feet. The fox puts his arm around the chicken as the two walk off into the sunset.
