Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at fans of a well-timed joke and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

A streetcar conductor, Foxy has adventures with a would-be passenger hippo, a cow blocking the tracks, and a runaway train while Foxy, his passengers, and some hobos sing the title song.
