Reynard the Fox feature film "Le Roman de Renard" (The Tale of the Fox) featured the Reynard character as the protagonist. The documentary film "" (1962) parallels Hitler's rise to power with the Reynard fable. Initially, Walt Disney Animation Studios considered a movie about Reynard. However, due to Walt Disney's concern that Reynard was an unsuitable choice for a hero, the studio decided to make Reynard the antagonist of a single narrative feature film named "Chanticleer and Reynard" (based on Edmond Rostand's "Chanticleer") but the production was scrapped in the mid-1960s, in favor of "The Sword in the Stone" (1963). Ken Anderson used
In the Name of the Grandfather company with the slogan "We Move in Mysterious Ways". Apart from the references to Ireland Bart also makes a derogatory remark about Belgium, causing Marge to threaten him with "taking his Tintins away", whereupon Bart clutches a copy of the Tintin album "The Crab with the Golden Claws" to his chest, promising he'll behave. "In the Name of the Grandfather" was first episode of "The Simpsons" to premiere in Europe before airing on Fox in the United States. Previously, new episodes of the show occasionally aired on the Global Television Network in Canada a half-hour before they aired on Fox.
