Reynard the Fox as You've Never Seen or Heard Him Before
A rogue’s tale, a cunning dismantling of authority.
With great respect for the original, Dimitri Leue has adapted this classic into something entirely unique.

Han Coucke steps into the fur of Flanders’ most charming villain.
Frank Focketyn gives shape and weight to the gullible lion, Noble.
Ini Massez defends her cousin, the Fox, as Grimbert the Badger in this trial avant la lettre.
Jonas Leemans, as the wolf Isengrim, wants only one thing: revenge on that wretched fox.

When Lode Zielens asked his mother: "Why do we live?"
She should have answered: "For pleasure, my boy."
Feelings, you feel. Thoughts, you think. Pleasures, you... pleasure.
So we must pleasure! Pleasure! And pleasure again! – FOX

I have a lion lying around who blow-dried his mane just for me.
He is a model. The model of our flag, no less. And he is mine.
His mane revolves around my celestial body. – LION

My children are still just as dead. All four of them.
It’s not as if one of the four is any deader than the other three.
No, death plays no favorites. Death is fair. – ROOSTER

Choose your weapon: violence or dialogue.
Are we wild beasts that simply slaughter each other,
or intelligent creatures who treat one another with respect?
You decide where we stand in evolution, chief! – BADGER
