Line #10 ReferencedBy/ReynardTheFox


1	As well as the specific examples below, virtually every Western example of the FantasticFoxes trope is in some way inspired by Reynard tales. Especially if they are named Reynard, Reintje, Rénard, or Reineke.

3	!!Reynard is referenced in the following works:

6	[[folder:Comic Books]]
7	* The ''ComicBook/SuskeEnWiske'' album ''De Rebelse Reynaert'' is based on ''Reynaert the Fox'', but has a lot of subtle allusions to the then current scandal around criminal Marc Dutroux, where Reynaert can be seen as an {{Expy}} of Dutroux.
8	* Reynard appears with a TookALevelInKindness and some bowdlerisation in ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', as a major member of the non-humanoid "Farm" community of Fables.
9	* The cock Marquis de Canteclaer in ''ComicBook/TomPoes'' is named after the cock from Reynard tales.
10	* One of the short strips collected in ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} and the Class Act'' stars a [[NationalAnimalStereotypes Gaulish rooster]] named Chanticleerix.
11	* In the comic ''ComicBook/DeCapeEtDeCrocs'', the two main characters are an anthropomorphic fox named Armand Reynal de Maupertuis (Maupertuis is the name of Reynart's estate) and an anthropomorphic wolf named Don Lope de Villalobos Y Sangrin, whose LoveInterest is named Hermine.

15	* The famous 1937 (made in 1929-30, but spent some years on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment) StopMotion film adaptation by Ladislas Starevich.
16	* ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' is an adaptation of the Chanticleer legend with Chanticleer as an Music/ElvisPresley {{Expy}}. Reynard's role is taken by Pinky, a stand-in for Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker.
17	* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' owes a lot to the Reynard tales, particularly in the character designs. Robin Hood is a fox like Reynard, the Sheriff is a wolf like Ysengrim, Little John is a bear like Bruin, Allan-a-Dale is a rooster like Chanticleer, etc. The story goes that the Disney studio was working on a movie based on the Reynard tales, but it ended up in DevelopmentHell due to Creator/WaltDisney thinking Reynard was an inappropriate protagonist. After Disney's death, the studio picked up the concept again and created ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973''.

21	* Renard, one of the villains of the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' is named after the fictional fox, and can withstand "a rain of blows", which is the literal translation of the name "Reynard."

25	* The Icelandic "Saga of Ref the Sly" depicts the central character as a human, but directly lifts several incidents from Reynard tales.
26	* Reynard - renamed Russell - also appears in in Creator/GeoffreyChaucer's ''Literature/TheCanterburyTales'' in the Nun's Priest's Tale, along with Chanticleer the puffed-up rooster and his more sensible wife, Pertelote.
27	* The fox is referenced in the Middle English poem ''Literature/SirGawainAndTheGreenKnight''.
28	* Reynard the fox, Isengrim the wolf, Tybalt the cat, and many other characters from the folktales appear as humanized versions of themselves in David R. Witanowski's ''[[Literature/TheReynardCycle Reynard Cycle.]]'' Naturally, the characters tend to retain the characteristics of their animal counterparts.
29	* The story was adapted by Belgian author Louis Paul Boon in 1955 as the tale ''Wapenbroeders'' ("Weapon brethren") in which the action is meant as a satire of 20th century Belgium.
30	* Maupertuis, Reynard's castle, inspired the title of the gothic horror novel ''Malpertuis'' by Jean Ray, which was filmed in 1971 by Harry Kümel starring Creator/OrsonWelles.
31	* Reynard Fossman, a minor villain from ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'', is either a LegacyCharacter embodiment of this trope or is trying very, very hard to ''seem'' like one.
32	* [[Literature/TheWorldOfIceAndFire The World of Ice and Fire]] mentions the cunning Reynard Reyne.
