 Disney's 24th Animated Masterpiece! April 10, 2004
Disney's previous animated hit, The Rescuers, set the stage for what became a new era in Disney animation. The Fox and the Hound was created, mostly, by a new staff of Disney animators, also The Fox and the Hound marked the end of what some call the sketchy period.
The Fox and the Hound is the timeless story of a fox, Todd, and a hunting dog named Copper that become great friends, despite breaking one of Nature's toughest rules. Throughout their childhood, Todd and Copper play and have fun together, everytime feeling that they'll be friends forever, until one day, Copper grows up and feels in a different way about Todd, it is time to hunt him, just as his master, Amos Slade has taught him, with the help of an older hunting dog named Chief. Somehow I feel I liked Chief, although he was somewhat Amos' sidekick, I felt a bit of innocence in Chief's actions, he had been trained to kill, so chasing Todd wasn't an act of hatred, but responsability. The film features different songs, none of them can compite with Disney's musical league, but they are cute and pleasent. One of my favorites is "Best of Friends" which describes the two youngsters' friendship at the beginning. Also, there's a very loving character in the film, named Widow Tweed, who addopts Todd at the beginning of the film. W. Tweeds most memorable scene is the "Goodbye May Seem Forever" sequence, in which the old woman decides to leave Todd on his own, this is a sad sequence, probably what makes the film so sad. What was curious about The Fox and the Hound" was the lack of a happy ending, for some reason it seems that the conflicts weren't solved.This DVD edition of The Fox and the Hound, does leave a lot to be desired, just like all the other Gold Classic Collection DVDs. This film has a great chance of becoming part of the new Masterpiece collection, so if you aren't such a big fun of the film, but do want to get it, I'd wait a little.
What could possibly be better?! March 9, 2004
The fox and the hound is an amazing movie with all of the loving characters like Tod the fox, Copper the hound dog, Cheif the older hound dog, Big mama the owl, and widow tweed. This story has great life-long lessons on friendship that you will never forget. Great for people young and old. Your kids will absoloutly love it. BUY IT NOW! IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE TIME RUNS COMPLETLY OUT!!!!!
 Not for young children February 26, 2004
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
First of all I love Disney movies, as and adult, and can understand the hidden moral stories in them. This movie is about friendship for the adults who watch this. However, I watched this with my two young sons. After watching this movie, my sons turned every toy they touched into a shotgun. In this movie the human characters point guns at other humans, mistreat the animals, and use degrading language. My husband is a hunter and we have always taught our children that a gun is not a toy and that you NEVER point it at a person. This movie just destroyed all that teaching. I also am disappointed with some of the language used in this movie. There is no swearing in the movie, but there is a lot of language you don't want your young children using.
As a mother of two young boys, I will not be showing anymore Disney movies for a long time.
One of the Best... February 14, 2004
The Fox and the Hound is by far one of the best Disney films not produced under Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney. While Copper and Todd have little personality, the plot line and minor character roles make up for it.
So, if you want a quality Disney video on friendship don't get cheezy Eisner vidoes like BROTHER BEAR, instead get THE FOX AND THE HOUND.
The Fox and the Hound February 9, 2004
Wonderful film! Not only entertaining,(and adorable) but educational. Contains valuable lessons about friendship and loyalty. I loved it when I was a kid and still do!
