Mr. Fox, also known as "Foxy", is the main protagonist of the Roald Dahl book and its movie adaptation, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox is voiced by George Clooney.
Not much of Mr. Fox's life before the film opening is mentioned, except that his father had died at the age of seven and a half non-fox years (forty-five fox years). In his adolescence, he was the most successful whack-bat player in his school, having won the title of Most Valuable Player of the Fox-Year from '68 - '71. He also has lupophobia (fear of wolves) and gets apprehensive at the mere mention of them.
At the start of the film, Mr. Fox is a young adult standing under an apple tree, waiting for his wife Mrs. Fox. After raiding a squab farm together, Mr. Fox recklessly triggers a fox trap, which drops on both him and his wife. Felicity informs her husband that she's pregnant, then makes him promise to never steal again, should they escape alive.
•Mr. Fox identifies his species as Vulpes vulpes, the red fox.
•Mr. Fox's trademark consists of a distinct whistling, followed by a double-click of the tongue.
