The Animals of Farthing Wood/YMMV

"Fox: Were you...were you on your way back to me? Vixen: Yes. Fox: Does that mean...? Vixen: I would be honoured to be your mate."
 * Adaptation Displacement: The TV series was based on a series of books by Colin Dann, but a lot more people know about the TV series than the books.
 * Just as well known at the time was the magazine spin-off: "Farthing Wood Friends" which had a catchy enough name that children often used it when they were referring to the show, and it ran to over a hundred issues. It's been forgotten because, well, magazines don't go into syndication.
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: If one read the Farthing Wood prequel stories (published after the initial book series), they'd discover that Fox's father was one of those . With this in mind, it's possible to interpret Fox's character as one who resigns himself to protecting the animals, out of his own guilt for what his father caused.
 * Bad Export for You: The series has been released... after 15 years, and not in England but abroad! The only way to get them is the first season in French, and the first and second season in Germany. (the German version has an English version embedded). No commercials of any kind have been made about the release, and most fans do not know the series has been released yet.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Lots. Such as arriving at White Deer Park, Fox agreeing that he shouldn't stand in the way of Ranger marrying Charmer, or when Vixen agrees to be Fox's mate.


 * Also Sinuous' last words.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Just LISTEN to the main theme!
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Arguably Bold. Definitely the most complicated character of the cast with the most complete arc.
 * Even Better Sequel: season 1 - season 2.
 * Fandom Rivalry: Farthing Wood vs. Watership Down.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The butcher bird's larder, crossing that damn road, among a lot of other scenes. This show was not primarily for children, or at the very least took on a ballsier PG Watership Down direction.
 * Replacement Scrappy: Hurkel
 * The Scrappy: Mole is this to some, mostly because he's The Load. He is improved in season 2.
 * Seasonal Rot: Season 3 tends to be the least well-regarded amongst fans of the show, largely due to the change in animation style, the greater emphasis upon slapstick comedy over drama, and a less solid plot. Season 3 also drops a number of well-liked named characters without as much as an explanation (presumably to keep the cast smaller).
 * Tear Jerker: A great foundation of the show, but mostly when yeah, this show loves to pull at the heart strings.
 * from the end of the second season is an especially major, memorable tearjerker moment.
 * In the same season, 's deterioration into senility and eventually death, which is made even more poignant in that.
 * Too Good to Last
