The first film in the series, "The Fox and the Grapes" was directed by ex-WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes veteran FrankTashlin, and was an experimental short in using a classic "blackout gag" format: this makes it feel like a woodland precursor to the Creator/ChuckJones [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner 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.
