Villain Overview

Watch out! A fox! A FOX!!!
~ Pippo warning the chipmunks about the fox.

The Fox is the main antagonist of the 1981 anime film Enchanted Journey, which is based on the 1970 Japanese novel Grick's Adventure by Atsuo Saitō. He is presented as a relentless beast who roared like a ferocious dinosaur and struck terror into the hearts of all of the chipmunks, even more so than their other main enemy, the Hawk.

Biography[]

The fox first appears when Glikko and Nono make it to the snowy mountains and get attacked by the hawk. The fox intervenes and battles with the hawk. While the two predators are fighting, the chipmunks escape. While they are gone, the fox kills the hawk, and with blood-drenched lips turns and looks ominously in the chipmunks' direction, while growling menacingly.

During a snowstorm, the fox picks up the scent of Glikko and Nono nearby. The next morning, the fox finds the two chipmunks heading to the forest as he watches from a cliff.

When the pair finally arrive at the forest, Pippo sees the fox coming, having followed Glikko and Nono. The chipmunks flee in terror from the beast, whilst Glikko tries to fend him off. Pippo tries to help Glikko, but the fox drives him away. As he continues attacking Glikko, Nono tries to intervene, but it viciously batted aside. The fox corners Glikko into a tree and the other chipmunks bite his leg, causing him to roar in pain. The fox then corners Nono, but Glikko leaps out and bites the fox in his ear. As the fox tries to shake Glikko off, the other chipmunks pelt him with snowballs. Pippo warns Glikko to flee and attacks the fox, but gets scratched in the process and flies away. The fox then chases Glikko and they end up on a cliff.

Jutting from the cliff there was a branch and Glikko scurries out onto it. The fox follows, threatening to snap the branch with his weight. Across the gulf is Glikko's only salvation; the other side of the ravine. The other chipmunks, who were looking on, call for their friend to jump. Glikko finally sums up the courage and leaps, just as the fox did snapping the branch as well. The fox's claws rake across Glikko's back in midair, but only succeed in tearing off Glikko's bandanna. Glikko makes it safely across the ravine, while the chipmunks' most dreaded enemy falls victim to gravity as he plummets soundlessly down the gorge and out of sight, ending his reign of terror for good.

Personality[]

The fox is portrayed as a monstrous, persistent, relentless, obsessive, and cruel predator who enjoyed causing terror in the chipmunks. Even though he already killed a hawk, he sensed nearby chipmunks and went after them to eat them, instead of eating the hawk that would last him longer. It is stated by one of the local chipmunks that the fox had been causing terror for years, indicating that took pleasure in attacking the chipmunks.

Appearance[]

The fox is a gigantic, muscular orange fox with sharp teeth and claws. He has big yellow eyes with tiny pupils, black feet, small ears, whiskers, and huge jaws. His senses also help him detect prey from far away.

Trivia[]

  • Glikko and Nono's encounter with the fox was foreshadowed when Pippo warns Glikko about the dangers on his journey to the forest, such as foxes and hawks.
  • Despite being the main antagonist, he did not make an appearance until the second half and had less than six minutes of screen-time.
  • Although his role is small, the fox is still the main antagonist, because he had bigger plans and was far more dangerous than anyone else.
  • Like the other antagonists in the film, his vocal sound effects were replaced with an actual voice provided by Omar Aranda in the Spanish dubbed version.
  • If one were to pause at the right moment when the fox moves in on the chipmunks, anyone can see his right fore-paw turn orange.
