this movie is one of the best disney movies the animation is nice the characters are good. and the music was very good i wish this movie could have been longer. its much better than the disney movies today which are mostly sequals.

Wow what a good movie i just watched this again on special exditon dvd. the movie was great the animation spot on i just loved all the charectors especially chief. I expect we have all been there where our friendships have been tested like tod and copper.

A very well done movie. It has drama, comedy (from not just the comic side-kicks), and one thing that is lacking in Disney animation now: tear jerker scenes.
The song "Goodbye May Seem Forever", while it it the saddest scene in the movie, really stands out to me.
It an amazing scene. So much emotion in the characters, from just facial expressions and singing in the background.
Animation is an amazing form of movie making. I find it amazing that people start breaking out in sobs from a bunch of drawings put together.
It makes me think of how talented the animators who worked on this were.

I can tell you this: I'd rather sit down and watch my VHS tape of this then sit in the dark in a theater watching "Barnyard" or "Hoodwinked".
There's so much life in this film that it tramples and stamps on most of the animated movies these days.

The only reason I dock half a star is that I think this would've worked better without the comic sidekicks and cutesie songs. Not that there are anything particularily WRONG with the songs or sidekicks but I think it would've worked better without them.

Overall a great film. Highly recommended.

I first saw 'The fox and the hound' when i was about five or six years old and i remember thinking it was one of the best films that i had ever seen! Although, i probably only thought this because of the fun, cutsie scenes between the young Tod and Copper.
I then watched the film again a few weeks ago, just by chance. I found that watching it again i looked upon it with a more critical eye.

The film opened well, where the orphaned fox cub was taken in by the old Widow Tweed. When Tod and Copper play togethor I sometimes thought that it just verged on silliness, although it was sweet and the sort of thing that children would love.

The film was simple, cute and happy up until the part where Copper comes back as a trained hunting dog and vows to take his revenge on Todd. It is here when the audience realises that the film takes a rather dark turn.

The part that sticks in my mind most about this fim though, is when the Widow has to drop off Todd in the forest for fear that he will be shot by her grumpy neighbour (coppers owner). As she and Todd take the long drive to the woods, she talks about her memories of Todd and herself. I think that this is the saddest and most upsetting part of the movie - i actualy found myself sobbing my heart out as she lets him out of the car and makes him stay in the forest accompanied by the song 'goodbye may seem forever' which i think is probably the best song in the whole film.

After this scene though, i think that the film begins to slide. The whole romance between Vixie and Todd just oozes cheesiness, and Vixie is so sickely sweet it's almoast annoying. I also think that the voice of Todd grown up was badly chosen as the voice sometimes seems rather wooden and the script writing, i personally don't think is very good.

The tension in some parts of the film is enduring and the fight scenes between Todd, Copper and the grizzley bear is captivating.

I think that in some ways, the ending lets the film down. I like the way that the ending is bittersweet and not the usual 'happy ever after' that concludes most disney films. But, the feel good scene at the end where Widow Tweed is bandaging Amus Slade's foot, I think spoils it. Is the audience just supposed to forget the fact that the grumpy hunter has tried to kill her beloved fox throughout the film? Apart from this, the film ends well and is satisfying - leaving the audience thinking about the ways that society determines relationships.

The charactors like Big Momma and the two birds add humor to a film that may otherwise begin to get boring.
On the whole i do love this film, despite it's faults. It has a mixture of humor and sincerity and is a wonderful film for all ages.

The 1980s was not a particularly fruitful decade for the Disney Studios, until it ended with the smashing success of The Little Mermaid.
Many of the films Disney produced during the 80s have either gained cult followings, or have been labeled hidden gems. I think that The Fox and the Hound is one of the latter. It's just perfect in its simplicity. Nothing epic, no amazing score, just sweet and simple. It's got this quiet, cuddly coziness that I haven't seen since Bambi. I saw it for the first time about 13 years ago, and I still cry every time I watch it.
I recommend it highly.

I don't see how anyone can NOT love this movie. It's touching and heart-felt. This Disney classic(much like the others) has a special place in my heart.

A little fox pup left orphaned when its mother is killed by a huntsman, is adopted by a kindly old widow. In his adventurous age, the pup comes across a hound-dog puppy and both quickly become close connected-at-the-hip friends. Yet, viewers must remember that these two are still natural born enemies.

The theme of everlasting friendship appears throughout this film. No matter how strong the forces are against them, in the end, it is and will be "friends 'til the end."

Even though the movie ended well for the two protagonists, there is still that heavy feeling of "Good-bye". And that always gets to me.

Very unique. I've always held a special place for this movie. They don't make many like it-a simple, touching story with beautiful woodland scenery and music that is incredibly powerful.

*Erm*

I'm new here and this is my first review. XD Well... Not interesting.....

Soooo.....

I love this movie, because the characters are adorable and the songs are sooo sweet. I wish more movies were like that.

Don't know what to write else! XD

But I recommend you read my husband's (Toonboy) reviews!

The Fox and the Hound - What can I say? This is one of the best dramatically-animated Disney films to date. IMO I don't even think Bambi even comes close.
Enter a small baby fox, orphened and alone, and soon met with three interesting birds and a kind old woman. Then enter a small hound pup, new to having an owner and other dog things. When these two unlikely characters first meet, it is a friendship that they think will last for eternity. However, times change and the two realize that they are enemies.
Without giving too much away, this is a film that will make you cry, maybe even baul out tears. The songs really help convey the mood of the situation, from happiness to worried sorrow and even to a little bit of romance. The animation and characters are stunning. The story is one that is basic, but is really told well by Disney. A rarity!
This gets four stars from me, hoping that Disney will spare this classic masterpiece a torturous future with a terrible sequel.

Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite Disney films of all times. Not olny does it tell a wonderful story, but it has some of my favorite characters that I enjoy watching over and over again.

Very few Disney films come close to the charm that Fox and the Hound offers. I think the best thing is to see for yourself and you be the judge.
