René la taupe (English: René the mole) is a virtual French singing character created in 2009 by Fox Mobile Group studios. The character, which is in fact a groundhog, was made famous through a music for mobile phone and a music video available on the Internet. The character was created to mediate ringtones on behalf of Jamba!, a distributor of content for mobile phones that had already licensed Crazy Frog as a ringtone a few years before René was created.
