A project that’s cute and sweet and, much like candy, is full empty calories. While it doesn’t really fall into saccharine territory, The Fox in Sleepy Creek skirts that line enough that it ends up harming it. The lack of drama makes a possibly interesting premise into 30~45min of fluff. Art mostly works (especially for its “special interest”), but some of the sprite expressions are hard read and others are stuck in an awkward level of exaggeration. Still, it hits what it aims for: a feel-good, cute story with nice art. Recommended if you’re looking for something sweeter that won’t occupy much of your time or brainpower.
