Simply Perfect

Good movie but grossly overrated

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I understand that some people don't call it a classic, but with me, it's an underrated and well-deserved movie that should be loved by future generations to come. The Fox & the Hound tells a simplistic yet also heart-felt story about a dog and fox beginning a friendship at childhood but later on ended their friendship at adulthood. The warm and positive scenes between the characters gave me a smile on my face. The other scenes, however, did hit me hard. The darker scenes were there too and it was close to the original book, in which i was surprise about, in which I really like. I say overall that this movie should be more told in future generations to come. 10/10.

In the Fox and The Hound a baby fox's mother gets killed and a widow finds the baby fox and names a Tod. The widow lives next to a guy named Amos, who hunts foxes and has a hunting dog. The guy gets a puppy and named him copper, train him to hunt, the puppy finds the fox and they become best friends. Amos goes on a hunting trip to train Copper to hunt foxes and Tod doesn't think he will change. When they come back from the hunting trip in spring Copper is a hunting dog now. When Tod gets put out in the wild because the widow is scared that Tod is going to die. Tod is all alone in the wild and then meets a girl fox named Vixey. Vixey is very nice to him and they like each other but then Amos is out to get Tod and when Tod gives Amos's other dog named Chief a broken leg then Copper is out to get him. I think that this movie is very sweet and loving and it has a very good motto in the end. Little kids will love this movie and if they watch it when there older then they will find the motto easier unless the little kid is very smart.

This is just a classic Disney film and I would have to say one of my all time favourite movies. I've come to that conclusion because I remember watching it as a kid and loving it and now in my re-watch some 30 (ahem) years later (or so) I've enjoyed it just as much. I suppose I liked it in a different way this time around as it filled me with nostalgia but it still really made me laugh too.Its the usual Disney fare endearing and delightful, but the message here is fantastic, the dog and fox antics hilarious along with the voices of Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell.The story follows the lifelong friendship between a fox cub and a bloodhound puppy who grow up together and then realize their friendship is doomed because Copper is a hunting dog, and Tod is his prey.Hopefully my 3 year old nephew will visit again soon and I can rediscover another childhood classic movie. 07.11

The simple story about a fox and a dog has many things to teach us about compassion, friendship, and acceptance.It's tough to try to find something bad about this film, maybe one could argue that the animation isn't as good as in later Disney films but I think many would agree that it is much more charming. The hand-drawn look has something that really stands out and adds a more human touch. Looking at the later Disney iterations where everything is a perfect line at a perfect angle gets really old for me personally and it stabs me in the eye instead of letting the imperfect be imperfect. But I guess that goes for most of modern culture where everything is made to be as perfect as possible. If you look at the static music of today for example and compare it to the groove which jazz and funk musicians of the 40s and 50s you'll know what I'm talking about... That utterly charming "human" quality... This film has a ton of it.However,I don't think I've ever been inflicted with so much emotion from watching a film. I honestly cried my heart out! It's a lovely film with lots of character. It doesn't rely on gimmicks(as so much of the modern Disney films do) rather it relies on strong writing with no scene being unimportant.A shining gem from the past that taught me several heartfelt lessons.
