When a coyote is chased into the back of a moving van he accidentally ends up in the Hollywood hills and learns the ins and outs of being an urban coyote.

"They say a ky-oat can make a square meal out of anything it can round up."

With a poll taking place on IMDbs Classic Film board for the best titles of 1965,I decide to take a look at what film Disney had made that year,and I was surprised to find that there was feature film listed at all! Taking a look on Netflix UK a few days ago,I was delighted to discover that an obscure 1965 Disney short had been put on the site,which led to me getting ready to join the Hollywood Coyote. The plot: Wandering around a vast desert,a coyote called Chico spots a van parked up with its back doors wide open. Sneaking into the back,Chico keeps his head down as the van drives off. Jumping out,Chico finds himself in Hollywood. Gliding round the city,Chico soon runs into fellow Hollywood coyote&#39;s.As the coyote&#39;s face animal catchers,a wild fire sweeps across the city. View on the film: Filmed during a real wild fire,director Jack Couffer turns Hollywood into a woodland area,thanks to Couffer keep the camera at the coyote&#39;s height,which along with giving the title a warm,rustic atmosphere,also makes the outskirts of Hollywood looks like it is returning to the wild life.Along with the great outdoors mood,Couffer also displays a keen eye for slap-stick set pieces,which goes from Chico getting handy with golf balls,to the coyote&#39;s running circles round the traps,as Chico leaves the countryside behind for Hollywood.

A Country Coyote Goes Hollywood

Fluffy Disney short about a wild coyote who&#39;s chased into the back of a truck and finds himself transported to the urban jungle of Los Angeles. Once there he has to adjust to his new surroundings in the city and suburbs. Harmless and innocent, it&#39;s a fun but slight effort from cinematographer and director Jack Couffer. Rex Allen narrates the coyote&#39;s adventure. The coyote, called Chico, is cute and the location shooting is a big plus. Apparently there were real wild fires happening in the area at the time of filming, so they got some free special effects out of that. Worth a look if you enjoy nature stuff, particularly with a Disney touch.

My Uncle Gary worked on this set. He worked with the training of the animals. So proud of him. He worked on multiple Walt Disney movie sets. Grizzly Adams too. Susan E. Kenwood.
