Fox

The Fox is an animated character in Mary Poppins. He has red fur and speaks with an Irish accent. He is voiced by Dal McKennon.

Role in the film
The Fox first appears during which Mary Poppins, Bert, Jane and Michael have a magical journey inside one of Bert's paintings of the countryside. While they ride an enchanted carousel, the Fox is being chased by foxhounds and their human hunters. Bert comes to the Fox's rescue just as the lead hound almost catches him. Finding himself safe aboard Bert's horse, the Fox becomes indignant with the pursuing hounds, even kicking one that leaps at him.

Bert and the Fox escape the hounds by leaping over a tall hedge, only to face an oncoming crowd of horse racers. After taking a dizzying spin from the passing riders, Bert and the Fox stop to witness Mary Poppins win the race, after which everyone celebrates with candied apples and the musical number "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". Before they can continue further, a rain storm interrupts the celebration, forcing Mary Poppins, Bert and the children to return home.
