'''''The Fox And The Crow''''' is a series of short subjects created for [[Columbia Pictures]] by their [[Columbia Cartoons|Screen Gems cartoon outlet.]] The shorts are centered around the eponymous characters, Fauntleroy Fox and Crawford Crow.
 
The first film in the series, "The Fox and the Grapes" was directed by ex-[[Looney Tunes]] veteran [[Frank Tashlin]], and was an experimental short in using a classic "blackout gag" format: this makes it feel like a woodland precursor to the [[Chuck Jones]] [[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner (Animation)|Road Runner]] cartoons--Jones even cited that short as an influence on the series! The plot established the relationship between the duo, with the dim-witted Fauntleroy going about his business, only for the crow to decide to pester him for the sake of it.
 
After this, the series branched out to become a more standard issue gag series, lasting for several more shorts.
