Foxtoons

 is a franchise of theatrical shorts produced by starting in 1945. Influenced by Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy and Warner Bros' Looney Tunes, Fox decided to start producing theatrical cartoons. This would be after the success of the Terrytoons cartoons. Due to the monster success of the shorts, Fox started a franchise that includes characters that are part of the Foxtoons. M.J. Walrus was the first franchise ever to be created. In 1978, Fox announced that Foxtoons would no longer have theatrical short films due to them focusing more on cartoons for television.

The studio that produed the series Foxtoons, Inc., based in Hollywood, CA, ran from 1945 to 1978.

On 2017, Disney has acquired 21st Century Fox and since then, Foxtoons would now also be owned by The Walt Disney Company. However, Fox and Disney announced that they have possibilities that the Foxtoons theatrical short films will be revived. The new Foxtoons shorts are now released as of 2018. The animation for the new Foxtoons shorts are provided by both Digital eMation and Fox Cartoons, Inc.
