[4] The folk tale was adapted by Disney again into a separate full-length film of the same name in 2005, with Zach Braff as the titular protagonist and directed by Mark Dindal.

Unbeknownst to them however, hungry fox Foxy Loxy happened along intent on catching himself a chicken dinner, but he cannot hop in and help himself, on account of the high fence, locked gates and a well-armed farmer.

He brings a crowd to where he believes a piece of the sky had hit him, but when the leader of the flock Cocky Locky inquires about the ordeal, he immediately proves the story to be false (much to Foxy Loxy's chagrin).

He heads over to Henny Penny's, Turkey Lurkey's, and Ducky Lucky's and Goosey Poosie's circles of friends to plant rumors and doubts about Cocky Locky's intelligence and leadership.

While the narrator reassures the audience that everything will be alright, the cartoon closes with a now pot bellied Foxy Loxy picking his teeth and arranging the wishbones of the devoured birds in a row resembling a war cemetery.

Foxy Loxy responds in a fourth wall breaking moment by reminding the narrator not to believe everything he reads as he plays with Chicken Little's yo-yo and smokes a victory cigar while laying on top of the psychology book.

[5] According to Disney historian David Gerstein in a comment on Andreas Deja's blog, the studio had the title of the book that Foxy Loxy reads changed from Hitler's Mein Kampf to the generic Psychology in a postwar reissue.

The postwar reissue of the short is featured in the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color episode Man is His Own Worst Enemy, first airing on October 21, 1962.
