"It was an inspired idea to make an animated film version of Czech composer Leos Janácek’s 1923 opera The Cunning Little Vixen which he based on a serialized newspaper cartoon. Conductor Kent Nagano’s condensed version of the score retains the opera’s touching core, and Geoff Dunbar’s animation has charm for adults and children alike." - Newark Star Ledger (USA)
