Foxy LoxyChicken LittleFoxy Loxy was the star of the first Fantasies cartoons Hubley directed for producer Jam Handy.

Foxy Loxys first appearance on screen was in December 1963 in "Chicken Little". This old-western themed short features Chicken Little developing affection for the tavern singer who would become a Fox.

Foxy Loxy and his then-nameless Chicken would appear in another cartoon that same year: "Fun On The Farm" (November 21 1957), a musical set on a Farm. The plot bares some similarities to The Fox & The Stork, by Susanna Davidson Illustrated by John Joven which Donaldson and Hubley contributed on. This also marks the first time Foxy Loxys name was mentioned.

FoulfellowPinocchio (film)In the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio, the fox and the cat are given the names "Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow (voiced by Walter Catlett) and Gideon (whose three hiccups in the film were provided by Mel Blanc).
