Of Fox and Hounds is a 9-minute 1940 Tex Avery film which introduced Willoughby the Dog. Tex Avery did the voice of Willoughby, and Mel Blanc did the George the Fox.

Plot

The film focuses on a sly fox, George, and a dimwitted hound, Willoughby, who repeatedly asks George where the fox went, never suspecting that his "friend" George is the fox. Invariably, George the Fox tells Willoughby that the fox in on the other side of a rail fence, which is actually at the edge of a steep cliff. Willoughby's line, "Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?" long ago became a catchphrase, as did "Thanks a lot, George, thanks a lot!"
