''Moi Renart'' ("I Renart") is a French animated series first broadcast in 1986, made by Bruno-René Huchez, who was behind several popular French animated series in [[The Eighties]].
 
It is a very loose adaptation of ''Le Roman de Renart'', an anthology of satirical tales written in the French Middle Ages. The original stories were about a fox called Renart outwitting other animals as they try to chase food. Those tales were so popular that [[A Kind of One|it even replaced in French vocabulary "goupil" with "renard" (French for fox)]].

The plot is about Renart, a cocky and joyful young fox, who goes in Paris and decides to set up an agency where he says he can do ''any'' job. He often badgers his greedy and grumpy uncle Ysengrin who is a car salesman, gets in trouble with the law, and tries to seduce beautiful vixen journalist Hermeline.

Tropes:
* [[Alien Abduction]]: There are no actual extraterrestrials in the show, but an episode is about Renart's aunt Hersent, who sees a movie about an alien invader who abducts a french fries salesgirl and they live Happily Ever After (because the alien's a cool guy and she was in an unpleasant engagement). So she sets up a french fries stand and waits for an alien to abduct her! {{spoiler|Renart dresses up as the alien and "abducts" her in a disguised helicopter to please her.}}
