<p>The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog</p><p>Jane Brown1, Anne Smith2 </p><p>1 Division of Disney, Brisbane, Australia 2 Big Dark Forest, Christchurch</p><p>Owing to the widespread knowledge of the phrase and its comical nature, many works of art have been developed that pictorially depict the action of a fox jumping over a dog or a related variation of it. Dan Santat, creator of Disney Channel's The Replacements and children’s book author, has created a cartoon of the pangram on his blog in which he mistakenly replaced "jumps" with "jumped", thereby removing the letter "s" from his phrase. </p><p>Other instances of phrase-related artworks include a typography workshop flyer, a widespread clipart image, and a music CD cover. A video of a fox actually jumping over a dog can be found online.</p><p>The May 9, 2008, issue of John Allen's web-based comic Nest Heads features a child saying the phrase to a sleeping dog, in attempts to arouse him to play. </p><p>In the Disney movie The Fox and the Hound, there is a scene near the end where the fox is running fast and jumps over the lying-down hound, creating an in-context, non-contrived instance of the phrase. The phrase plays a key role in the plot of the 2001 Mark Dunn novel Ella Minnow Pea, which is set in a fictitious island nation supposed to be the home of the phrase's originator.</p>
