Zorori's schemes are built to fail spectacularly, and the show finds comedy gold in watching a genuinely clever fox get outsmarted by his own ambition every single time. He wants to be a villain but keeps accidentally being decent, and the twins trailing behind him treat every disaster like it's the funniest thing they've ever seen. The real joke isn't the pranks, it's that Zorori is too smart to stay a screw-up, but too stubborn to admit he's better at being good.

Zorori is a crafty fox with one big dream: to become the Prince of Mischief, complete with a castle of his own and a lovely bride. He travels with the twin boars Ishishi and Noshishi, hoping to reach that goal and show his late mother, Mama Zorori, that he has what it takes. The trouble is that his pranks and schemes tend to backfire, often helping or cheering up the very people he meant to fool, much to his annoyance. Still, he is clever enough to talk and think his way out of tight spots. This feature-length entry is a comedy adventure built around a hunt for mysterious treasure.
