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
