Foxy Loxy and his then-nameless Chicken would appear in another cartoon that same year: "Fun On The Farm" (November 21 1957), a musical set on a Farm. The plot bares some similarities to The Fox & The Stork, by Susanna Davidson Illustrated by John Joven which Donaldson and Hubley contributed on. This also marks the first time Foxy Loxys name was mentioned.FoulfellowPinocchioIn the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio, the fox and the cat are given the names "Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow (voiced by Walter Catlett) and Gideon (whose three hiccups in the film were provided by Mel Blanc).

He can be stopped by Dora, Boots and the viewer saying "Swiper, no swiping!" thrice, upon which after he snaps his fingers with his catchphrase, "Oh, man!" before escaping.

He is voiced by Marc Weiner.TodThe Fox and the HoundVoiced by Mickey Rooney, Tod is a young orphaned red fox who befriends a hunting hound dog as a pup but finds they cannot remain friends.VicThe Little FoxVice PresidentialStar Driver: Kagayaki no TakutoZororiKaiketsu ZororiZuzoElena of AvalorA fox spirit guide for Elena.
