Fox Book

  1. Overview
  2. Fact Sheet

The first Armenian animation musical film shows the wisdom of medieval Armenian fables with a synthesis of modern animation and rock music. Among the characters in the film is a naive donkey, who is invited to a feast with the king. The poor fellow has no idea that he is invited to work hard during the feast. The cautious and cunning fox, voluntarily giving the whole dinner to the lion, sees the sad fortune of the wolf, who dares to share the dinner equally.
