Animated series and original music
Little Fox
Ten stories about a curious little fox, friendship and small discoveries. A woodland world with recurring characters and a musical voice of its own.
01 / THE IDEA
A little character.A world to discover.
Little Fox is built around recognisable emotions: curiosity, care, uncertainty and the joy of meeting a friend. A fox and a firefly explore the forest, learn to help and notice things that are easily overlooked. Movement, light and music tell the story without dialogue.
A series needs a consistent character and a world that feels familiar across episodes. Recurring animals, natural details, lighting and musical themes help the audience return to the same story.

02 / PROJECT EPISODES
Every episode
Ten episodes — from the first discovery to the season finale.
01The First Glow
Little Fox meets a firefly and follows it into the forest at dusk. A stream crossing and a sudden shower turn their first encounter into the adventure that begins their friendship.
02A Light in the Fog
A little hedgehog is lost in the evening fog. Little Fox and the firefly help him find his mother, learning to slow down, stay together and notice a small light in the mist.
03The Missing Stream
The familiar brook has almost fallen silent, and Little Fox follows the water’s trail through ferns, birches and a sunlit meadow. Along the way, he meets a quick squirrel and a helpful beaver.
04The Secret of Echo Hill
A mysterious tapping leads Little Fox and his squirrel friend to a rocky hill beyond the lake. Searching for the sound introduces them to a young hare and a woodpecker, and teaches them to listen closely to the forest.
05A Wing on the Wind
A young owl is ready for its first short flight, but the wind makes it hesitate. Little Fox and the hare help it find a quieter path, then give their new friend room to try on its own.
06The Island in the Rain
After the rain, a wood mouse is left on a mossy island. The little frog’s route will not work for the mouse, so Little Fox and his friends look for a path that suits their small neighbour.
07The Hidden Harvest
Missing hazelnuts and a rustle inside an old log turn an autumn walk into a small investigation. Following the clues, Little Fox and his friends meet a jay and a hazel dormouse.
08The Hidden Spring
The first frost turns the forest silver: tracks lead Little Fox to a shy young badger, while a robin reveals a spring beneath the roots. Beside the water, Little Fox learns to give others room to take their own first step.
09The Secret of the Quiet Bay
A ring on the water and a long trail beside the reeds are two clues with different answers. Little Fox meets a kingfisher and a young otter, while a new path reveals his familiar home from an unexpected angle.
10Every Path Leads Home
The wind hides a familiar fork beneath autumn leaves, and Little Fox searches for the way back to the old pine. A roe deer and her fawn, familiar sounds and a brief shower help him rediscover the forest and return home.

How the project was made
Stories and storyboards
Each episode has a small challenge and a sequence of actions. The scenes are arranged to carry the story without explanatory dialogue.
Characters and movement
Production images establish character designs, spaces and lighting. The scenes are then animated and connected through editing.
Music and emotion
Original themes link the characters and episodes. The score follows the movement, pauses and emotional shape of each story.
05 / ORIGINAL MUSIC
A theme ofthe fox’s own.
Little Fox has its own musical score and a separate album of ten instrumental compositions. A four-note fox theme is carried by soft piano and wooden flute, while the firefly is associated with the shimmer of celesta.
Strings, woodwinds and harp expand the woodland palette. Recurring motifs connect the episodes, while each story keeps a distinct mood.
