The movie follows a family of foxes on the run, with U2 frontman Bono leading an all-Irish voice cast that includes Jamie Beamish, Dylan Bowe, and Aileen Mythen.

Outfoxed! is receiving support from various entities including the Belgian tax shelter, Screen Ireland, Film Fund Luxembourg, Ireland’s Section 481 tax incentive, Eurimages, Screen Flanders, and Screen Brussels. Mk2 Films will present the initial animated sequences from the film to potential buyers at AFM. The company's animated film lineup also includes Calamity Jane and Allah Is Not Obliged, which premiered at Annecy in June.
In conclusion, Outfoxed! is an exciting 3D-animated comedy adventure film that features a family of foxes on a thrilling journey.
