I cannot begin to express my absolute hatred of that fox. Just a revolting, disgusting, truly horrible character design. That figure out to be smashed with a sledgehammer and set on fire. It is easily the worst design for an animatronic ever placed in a Disney park, and dare I say possibly the world. I am sickened just looking at his terrifying grin and soulless eyes.
The Marc Davis foxes were just so masterful and lovely to look at in comparison. Why couldn't they just keep some of them? Why couldn't they keep the foxes, raccoons, the possums, and other critters that belong in the bayou? None of the excuses I heard are satisfy.
Side note: Did this fox from America Sings ever end up on Splash Mountain? I feel like he did but I can't place him. I pulled him up to showcase good character design vs. the grotesque monstrosity on the new ride, but I'm not even sure he was on the old ride.
