Vuk (title of the FRG version: Vuk - The Little Fox , title of the GDR version: Vuk - From the life of a fox ) is a German-Hungarian cartoon based on a story by István Fekete . The main characters are foxes .
The 3D animated sequel Kis Vuk (“Little Vuk”) was released in Hungarian cinemas in April 2008, but it was a flop and only indirectly followed Vuk.
action
The story begins with the construction of a large fox family. Parents Kag and Íny have many young boys, of which Vuk, the most curious and active of all, is named after his grandfather . When his father goes hunting, Vuk steals away from the burrow to watch his father hunt. Vuk's father tells him to return to the burrow immediately, but Vuk wanders through the forest and meets a frog and other forest dwellers. When Vuk returns, he finds no one in the building. The hunter, called "the smooth-skinned" by the foxes, and "the submissive to man" dogs have wiped out his entire family.
Karak, an older fox, and a well-known one of Vuk's parents, takes Vuk in, teaches him how to hunt and teaches him all the tips and tricks of fox life. In adulthood, Vuk has become an excellent hunter. He doesn't even shy away from entering the hunter's henhouse. He even succeeds in freeing the fox girl Sasa from her cage, whereupon she becomes his partner.
After Karak is killed by the hunter in an autumn hunt, Vuk vows revenge: he will steal every single one of the hunter's feathered animals . All locks, all vigilance of the two hunting dogs and the hunter's traps are in vain, because in the end Vuk succeeds in stealing even the hunter's last two drunk geese . In the end, the hunter steps into his own trap and injures his leg. Eventually Vuk and his partner start their own large family in Karak's spacious and safe cave.
