The story revolves around an anthropomorphic, tricky, clever foxnamed Mr. Fox who lives underground beside a tree with his wife and four children. In order to feed his family, he makes nightly visits to farms.
In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden tale" of farmer versus vermin. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges.

Trevor's mum has offered him 30 pounds to walk the dog every day of the holidays. But Streaker is no ordinary dog, she's a rocket on four legs with a woof attached. Trevor's sure there must be a way to control her and Tina, his best friend, knows about training dogs. Their attempts involving such things as a pair of roller skates, a mobile phone and a bicycle, always lead to trouble.

Eleven-year-old Charlie Bucket, his parents, and four grandparents all live in a small house. One day, Charlie's Grandpa Joe tells him about the legendary chocolatier Willy Wonka, who owns the town's chocolate factory, and all the wonderful candies he made until the other chocolatiers sent in spies to steal his secret recipes, forcing Wonka to close the factory.
