Movies that feel likeThe Big Bad Fox and Other Tales (2017)

The countryside isn't always as calm and peaceful as it's made out to be, and the animals on this farm are particularly agitated: a fox who mothers a family of chicks, a rabbit who plays the stork, and a duck who wants to be Santa Claus.

If you loved The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales, the closest films we have are Klaus (2019), My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999) and Surf's Up (2007). All three share The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales' warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Minions & Monsters (2026).

As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow. But one day five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid— and Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen.
