What happens

Foxy Fables (known in Hebrew as משלים שועליים) is an animated television series produced by Israeli animator Rony Oren. All the characters were made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation. The plot of the series was based on fables by Aesop, La Fontaine, and others that feature forest animals acting out the famous stories. The situations are always based on the less strong animal succeeding in outsmarting the stronger one who tries to let him down. Every episode would end with a valuable moral. The program was originally created in Israel. 13 episodes were produced. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
