White Fang (French: Croc-Blanc) is a 2018 animated film directed by Alexandre Espigares. Based on the 1906 book White Fang by Jack London, the film features the voices of Nick Offerman, Rashida Jones, Paul Giamatti, and Eddie Spears as natives of Alaska who, at different times, come to know White Fang, a free spirited and at times violent wolfdog who eventually bonds with Offerman's character, a gentle master named Weedon Scott. The film also features Dave Boat, Daniel Hagen, and Stephen Kramer Glickman in the original English version, and Virginie Efira, Raphaël Personnaz, and Dominique Pinon in the French dub.

The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January 2018.[4] After a limited theatrical run in France and the United States, Netflix acquired the film and released it later that year, on July 6, 2018.[5] The film received positive reviews from critics and audiences. During its theatrical run, White Fang grossed $7.8 million worldwide.
