A 1949 MGM cartoon starring Droopy, one of many directed by Tex Avery.In England's countryside, Droopy and a pack of hunting dogs compete to capture a fox for their kennel master, but Reginald Fox is "as smart as a fox" and doesn't make it easy for them.

Mirror Routine
 Out-Foxed / int_138dd240
comment
Mirror Routine: Reginald Fox does one of sorts, using a glove and copying a dog's movements to trick the dog into thinking his arm extends through a log (which it somehow does).

Failed a Spot Check: You'd think Droopy would notice Reginald's arm from the doorway as the fox was handing him a bag with himself in it.

Dinner Deformation
 Out-Foxed / int_75777239
comment
Dinner Deformation: After Reginald gives Droopy a bone with a stick of dynamite inside it, the other dogs gang up on him, and one eats it. Droopy asks which of them took his bone; one by one, the dogs shake their heads no... including one who clearly has a bone-shaped lump on his muzzle, just a second before the dynamite blows up and obliterates it.

Food as Bribe: The moment Droopy tearfully says that he will not get a big juicy steak as a reward for bringing in a fox, Reginald Fox immediately changes his mind and calls the other foxes to turn themselves in so they can get the steak. As a result, Droopy and the foxes have a great feast.

Cranial Eruption: A dog mistakes another dog for the fox and whacks him on the head with a shovel, resulting in this. Simply pushing it down makes it go away, but it doesn't make him less angry.

comment
Politeness Judo: Unsuccessfully invoked twice by Droopy. The first time, Reginald tricks Droopy into bringing one of the hunting dogs that tried to capture him. The second time, Reginald flat-out tells him no and closes the door on him. When Droopy bursts into tears outside, and as he's weeping, he makes mentions of a big, juicy steak for each fox brought in, Reginald immediately changes his tune, and not only offers to turn himself in, but also calls the other foxes to do the same. As a result, Droopy and all the foxes get the steak.

And Your Reward Is Edible: The motivation of the dogs hunting a fox is the reward of a thick juicy steak for each fox you bring back, which also convinces the foxes to turn themselves in for the reward.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: This one involves actual bricks. Reginald Fox sees four dogs approaching and tosses four bricks into the air. As each dog closes in, each gets hit by a falling brick, Reginald counts them, but before he gets to four, the last dog bags the fox and rushes to the kennel to deliver him to the Kennel Master. But just as he's about to knock on the door, the last brick nails him and knocks him out, with Reginald counting "Four" before he escapes.
