Films like The Tale of the Fox.

The Tale of the Fox (1930) reads as Cosy, steady, gentle animation / family, inventive in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
