The Foxbusters is a British animation series, very loosely based on the Dick King-Smith book The Fox Busters. It was made by Cosgrove Hall and consists of two 13-episode series, each episode running 11 minutes, made between 1999 and 2000. The show was co-written by the animation partnership of David Max Freedman and Alan Gilbey, and occasionally with Joel Jessup as a third writer. It was directed by Jon Doyle.The show is primarily set on Foxearth Farm, a fictional farm based in the English countryside, which is dominated by a variety of animals, particularly the chickens. The Foxbusters are three chickens, Ransome, Sims and Jeffries, who have the unlikely ability to fly. Each has a different personality; Ransome is the best flyer, Sims is the smartest and Jeffries is the comic relief. The Foxbusters also have the ability to spit grit like machine guns, and drop hard-boiled eggs as if they were bombs—and these are used to effect among other methods to keep the hungry pack of foxes in Foxearth Forest at bay.The arguments and conversations among the chickens makes an effective comedy. The foxes' attempts to get the better of the chickens are often unsuccessful, but they add a lot of humour to the show. The show itself is laden with gags and action, and is of a quality which led to its receiving two major awards in 2000. One was a BAFTA for 'Best Animated Series' and the other was from the British Animation Awards for 'Best Children's Series'.Despite being a critical success, the show did not enjoy the same level of commercial success as some of its competitors. While not seeing much commercial success upon release, in more recent years the show has picked up a cult following, particularly in furry fandom. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Foxbusters / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: "Peace" concludes with the chickens and foxes' meeting to declare a final truce turning into an outright war, when Sims and the elder fox drop a boulder onto them. Sims laments her part in setting off the conflict to confirm her suspicions. And the revelation that both sides had catapults, hidden and at the ready, pretty much shoots down any real chance of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence. Of the Sudden Downer Ending variety, "In the Beak-ginning" concludes with the triumphant Foxbusters' origin story and the ugly duckling gaining confidence. He then walks off to try becoming a hero himself, and is devoured offscreen by a fox. Cue the protagonists' horrified reactions and iris in on Jeffries crying. End of episode. | |

Death Glare | |
| The Foxbusters / int_627264e0 | comment |
Death Glare: Evita, Attila and even Todd give one to Rotter after him catching eggs from the chickens in "The Trojan Chicken", with Evita stating that everything in the forest belongs to them. Ransome gives a brief one to Sims in "The Long Walk Home", after the latter admitting that she faked having her wing injured to force them to walk home during a night mission. In "Three Hens And a Baby", Voracious' son, Genghis, wanders off the forest after being babysat by Todd and ends up in the Foxearth Farm, where the Foxbusters try to nurture him. Voracious, finding out about this, thinks the Foxbusters have kidnapped his son and are holding him hostage and proceeds to give them anything they want in exchange for his son. Ransome abuses this offer by making ridiculous demands, which the foxes carry out. But when she makes one demand too much, that being a kitten for Jeffries, Voracious loses his cool and is visibly angry, making Ransome to take back the request. | |

I Need to Go Iron My Dog | |
| The Foxbusters / int_8ca89acb | comment |
I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Vlad, wanting to butter his mate up, tells Evita that he loves the idea of having kids. Attila, who was saddled with Genghis shortly before, passes him onto Evita to watch over. Seeing this, Vlad tells Evita he "has a badger on the grill" and bails (Evita is not too impressed). | |

Landslide Election | |
| The Foxbusters / int_9f2cad9a | comment |
Landslide Election: In "See the Dog, See the Dog Run", Dog the dog wins the farmyard leadership election with almost every single vote (Sims' and Ransom's only votes were from themselves). Dog however won by making promises he clearly could not deliver. It dramatically backfires on him later on. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |

Cycle of Revenge/The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: Voracious has a nightmare to this effect in "Peace", wherein the foxes' pursuit of the Foxbusters leads to the Foxbusters pursuing and hunting them down, as Voracious tries to defend his son. He later cites this as his motivation for trying to establish a peaceful coexistence between the foxes and chickens. It sadly doesn't last. | |

Slasher Smile: The foxes, excluding Todd. Ransome also gives a brief one in "The Long Walk Home" while throwing the goat's food at a rooster dressed up as a fox during their practice. Similar thing happens at the end of the episode with the animation recycled. Jeffries gives a brief one in "Follow My Leader", complete with dramatic thunder effects, when Ransome tells her and Sims about how the sheep do everything she wants after rescuing their lamb. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Foxbusters / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In an attempt to make Voracious and Voracity rekindle their love (and theoretically become distracted by it), the Foxbusters set up the Spaghetti Kiss and "Kiss the Girl" scenes from Lady and the Tramp and The Little Mermaid (1989). When the sheep begin to follow Ransome around, Dog admits it's not as humiliating as that time they started following a talking pig. "Day of the Hunter" ends with Ransome and Hunter recreating the end of Casablanca, with Ransome acting as Rick and recanting the famous "You'll regret it" speech."Ackluckalypse Now" episode plot is reference to ApocalypseNow | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
| The Foxbusters / int_ea480f92 | comment |
Simple, yet Awesome: In "One Paw In The Grave", Volpone is ridiculed by the younger foxes because he insists that a simple trap involved a stick propping up a crate with some grain underneath as bait will work against the Foxbusters rather than the more complicated and elaborate schemes the other foxes favour. Ultimately however, Volpone is the one who is successful in defeating the Foxbusters, but chooses not to share his captives with the other foxes because he doesn't feel they deserve it. | |
