Disney

Hi! I'm Vixey, star of Disney's Fox and the Hound, well not that fox... the other fox. I am a gorgeous, smart, tough, and temperamental, ever wonder where the term "foxy" came from? Tim's least favorite character. He worked on me for three years while he was working as animator at Disney. They hired him out of the Cal-Art Disney program, out of necessity, see the company was in a state of flux at the time, and they couldn't find anyone better. He didn't like Disney and Disney didn't like him, but, nonetheless he was my animator. "Like water torture," he said "drawing cute fox scenes voiced by Sandy Duncan isn't something that's very relatable." When he started drawing me he just couldn't make my figure look like a lady's, I looked like a badly drawn male fox! He told his fellow animators the he felt like he was drawing road kill! I don't like when people call me road kill, it's not nice. His boss told him that it was okay Vixey's not in the movie very long. I didn't think it was very fair that I had to stay away from the movie shooting, when I should be a star! Tim drew me into scenes far away from everybody so he didn't have to draw my lady like details. Tim got bored with me, he didn't want to draw me anymore so he started doing work in other parts of the company. People have told me that he went on to be a conceptual artist, whatever that is, as long as he wasn't going to have to draw any more lady foxes he'd be fine!!
