So last night I was on Youtube, and I was randomly sent to this movie,

It was called "The Cunning Little Vixen".

It was an English adaption of an opera set to animation and it wasn't TO bad while they were singing ALL the time it was mildly entertaining (And any time you listen to music outside the language it was intended to be it almost always sounds like crap in this case the Italian was translated to English)

Sure enough by the end of the movie the Girl fox was Killed

In the related links there were two other movies, that had adorable renditions of foxes, one was called "Fox of Chironuppu" and the other was in Japanese so I couldn't tell what it was called.

I watched three parts of one, and I'll tell yah IT WAS ADORABLE!!!!!!

I mean I have seen allot of cute rendition of foxes before but DAMN this one made me want to hug and cuddle the main character (Throw I there cute Japanese voices) and I don't care you could have Brock Lesner wanting to hug and cuddle them!

BUT I remembered the last one I watched and skipped to the last part...

Sure enough there's Mamma fox and Baby fox crying and cuddling as they both freeze to death!

I checked the other one (The one with the Japanese name) and SURE ENOUGH the last video the adorable little fox is laying dying a slow and sad death...

This is not a one time thing, there are TONS of movies from other countries where the animals die, look at Watership down, and Plague Dogs.

On a side note I had a girl sobbing once just explaining the PLOT of Plague dogs!

I get the idea that sometimes death is actually a part of the story, and some times death will bring something better in other peoples life, BUT COME ON!!!!

I remember watching the Disney release of Jungle Emperor Leo, and I was actually getting pissed off' it was all This character dies that character dies, I mean literally by the end of the movie HALF the cast was dead! Add the fact that the English version was voiced by the current 4-Kids crew it was kinda cool because I thought Dan Green did a cool job and all but still,

HALF THE CAST? COME ON it was like they took Osamu Tezukas story and flipped off the audience the whole time!

Basically if you find some cute beautifully animated movie made in another country about some hopelessly adorable animals (ESPECIALLY FOXES) 90% of the time they will die a sad sad hopelessly horrendous death by the end of the movie.

What is it with writers that we just love seeing things we fall in love with die?

There are acceptations with cartoons like Arashi No Yoru" (One Stormy Night in English) and those Hugo movies and such.

But geez yo!
