The Fox and the Hound

I loved it then and I love it now. This film brings back good memories from my childhood. It is a long time favorite film. Such a good story about friendships. A friendship. That is exactly what this movie is about. The friendship between Todd (a fox) and Copper (a hound). This movie has quite a bit of comedy in it although the movie is a drama with some of the saddest moments in a Disney animation. One of the reasons I loved this movie was the fact it plays with the viewers emotions. It is a fabulous story. This movie is definitely underrated and deserves to be in the top 20 list of Disney's finest animated films - just my opinion. If you enjoyed other Disney animations like "Lady and the Tramp", "The AristoCats", "Dumbo", or "101 Dalmatians" then you might enjoy The Fox and the Hound. 10/10

This has got to be one of the best Disney films out there!! I can't believe its not rated at least a 7!! I mean, this was probably the only movie I could stand watching with my mother as a kid. We would both cry our eyes out no matter how many times wed seen it. This is one of the few movies that really shows the villain's in a different light. Most kids movies are afraid to show that the bad guys aren't ALL bad. This movie at least gave the villain a heart. The characters in this movie are amazing. They have such real human traits. This movie shows the importance of friendship and that things are going to change as you get older. That is one of the hardest lessons to learn but one of the most important. Walt wasn't afraid to show it in this one and I respect him for that. If you're gunna take your kid to a movie make it The Fox and the Hound.

I gained some interest in this one. So I picked it up at best buy for 20$. Now, My favorite Disney movie ever is "Bambi". But When I was watching it Half-way through, I thought this was going to beat Bambi. Negatives: Some of the drawings/Animation looks odd. The scenes were it shows the birds chasing the caterpillar throughout the movie, are REALLY pointless and serves no point but to be filler scenes. Positives: The Film is very depressing at times. But in a very powerful way. (especially the ending.) I REALLY like the design of the foxes. Soundtrack is great, The voices are great. Very entertaining. There was a scene where the old lady abandons Todd. This scene made EVERYONE cry. (according to some facebook posts.) when I was watching it, I didn't even drop a tear. But I can see why it's so sad. Overall: The Fox and the hound made it to NUMBER 2 in my favorite Disney movies. However… Bambi is STILL the king.

There's a sense of melancholy that pervades even the lightest moments here. While it certainly has some competition, it's probably the saddest of all Disney classics. Not sad like Bambi, Dumbo or Rescuers, which tug at emotions before resolving all conflicts by the end. TF&TH is bold enough to get sad & stay sad until the very end. A great stand in for any two friends who stand on opposing sides (race, class, gender, etc), it's a quietly moving (though far from perfect) Dark Ages Disney entry.

First of all, the critical issue here is the way we treat one another based on things we can't control. Tod and Copper were born to be enemies, but as little ones ignored all that. But as they grew they were forced to forget their empathy. It's truly sad how we often treat one another based on the superficial. The downside, if one wants to take this seriously, is that these are natural adversaries, and in the natural setting, would not hesitate to kill. One could say that Disney's pairing of them is a bit unfair. Even in a Biblical sense, people and animals carry labels, and, in some circumstances, it is said that it's the way things are. But I think the former message prevails here. This is a good film for young children to absorb that sense of the clash of differences which can be deadly.
