Anime of furry interest

General
Though I'm not sure it should be called "anime" since it's Korean.
The title is "Yobi The Five-Tailed Fox." It's obviously aimed at children and Korean ones at that. There are subplots that never really go anywhere, weird characters (one appears to be the spirit of a toilet bowl) and a couple of points where the soundtrack takes an out-of-place dip into techno-industrial territory.
Yobi is a multi-tailed fox, a character that should be familiar to anyone acquainted with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean mythology. There are also aliens that eat a lot of screentime without contributing much. Weird, weird movie...can't stress that enough.
One thing the film definitely has going for it is visual style. The forest backgrounds are, frankly, some of the finest I've ever seen. There is also some sophisticated CGI rendering of plantlife and dead leaves. If the movie had spent more time on the budding friendship between our two protagonists and dropped all of the superfluous elements, this would have been a real gem. As it stands, it's a good-looking movie that unfortunately suffers from excess baggage.
Recommended for those with a keen interest in animation and/or weird kids' films. There is not an English dub as far as I know. Available on Netflix.
