The Fox and the Hound marked the last collaboration between Disney's older artists, including three of the "Nine Old Men" (Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Woolie Reitherman), and the young animators who would make the record-breaking films of the '90s. Based on a book by Daniel P. Mannix, the film tells the story of a bloodhound puppy and a fox kit who begin as friends but are forced to become enemies. Tod and Copper barely establish their friendship before Copper begins his training as hunting dog. Unfortunately, neither character develops much of a personality, which makes it difficult to care about them. The screen comes alive near end of the film, when Tod and Copper have to join forces to fight off an enormous bear. It had been years since Disney produced a sequence with this kind of feral power--and years would pass before they surpassed it. The Fox and the Hound ranks as one of the studio's lesser efforts, but it suggests that better films were soon to follow. (Ages 5 and older) --Charles Solomon

 Friends to the end. June 30, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. When Widow Tweed takes in a baby fox, whose mother had been shot by hunters, she names it Tod and raises it. About the same time she takes Tod in, her neighbor, Amos Slade brings home a hound dog puppy named Copper.One day in the woods, Copper and Tod meet and instantly become the best of friends. When fall comes and Amos takes an unwilling Copper along for his winterlong hunting trip, Tod tries to convince his friends, Big Mama, Dinky and Boomer that even though Copper will come back a trained hunting dog, that they will still stay the best of friends. Big Mama tells Tod that a fox and a hound are natural enemies and that, surprise, you ARE a fox. When the two are finally reunited in the spring, Copper tells Tod that they can't be friends anymore. After a tragic accident involving Amos's other dog Chief, Copper swears that Tod will pay. Widow Tweed, realizing that she can't keep Tod locked up forever, takes Tod to the game preserve and lets him go. Amos resolves to kill the fox, and with Copper's help, goes to track him down. But when Copper has a run in with a bear, Tod comes to his rescue and, ultimately, Copper gets Tod spared from death. A touching story about friendship that never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

One of the saddest Disney films ever made, this is unlike any animated film in the Disney cannon. It has parallels with dealing with issues like racism and selfless friendship. The movie may not be the most iconic and heard of, but it is a definate must for anybody who loves Disney films. It brings back famous Disney talents. The movie is beautifully drawn and the music is very good too. A must see for a lover of the genre.
Has been my favorite Disney film since I was 5 April 11, 2004
This is one of the REAL Disney movies, people; to those who are reviewing it in bad taste, yes, it is not the happy-go-lucky fuzzy friendship average Disney film. It pushes real values and a sense of the real world. I have been watching this film since I was 5 and it never warped any of my values about my caution for guns or perspective on certain situations, etc. This was a good Disney movie in the sense that it didn't end the way everyone expects Disney movies to end. It wasn't predictable, but it was a touching film. It's a Disney classic and my favorite, and for those of you who think it's unsuitable for your children, look into it first before spending your 30 dollars.
