In the beginning of the film, Tod, an abandoned baby fox, is found by a kind elderly woman who decides to take it in and raise it. Meanwhile, her neighbor brings home a new pup he names Copper that he intends to raise to be a hunter. Tod and Copper meet and become instant friends, until Copper goes away on a hunting trip with his master; when he comes back, both he and Tod have grown, events unfold and eventually Tod becomes the object of Copper's hunt, testing their friendship and loyalty in a very moving way. It sounds like a simple story but it is actually very deep and this is one of the most adult Disney movies I know; it touches on issues like friendship, loyalty, identity, loneliness, growing up and societal rules. The music is subtle and fits nicely, especially the devastating Goodbye May Seem Forever that plays during one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've seen in a Disney movie. It's too bad that this movie has become a bit forgotten because it does deserve to be seen; it is bittersweet and realistic and what I like about it is that it is all about the characters and the story. Just make sure to have tissues ready.

Two childhood friends find themselves forced to become enemies.The newer generation of directors and animators, including John Lasseter, John Musker, Ron Clements, Glen Keane, Tim Burton, Brad Bird, Henry Selick, Chris Buck, and Mark Dindal, would finalize the animation and complete the film's production. This impressive cast of characters makes this a transitional film from "classic Disney" to the Renaissance period. (We do not see the signature styles of Lasseter, Burton or Selick, unfortunately.) I find the use of voices interesting, especially for Pooh fans. No attempt is made to disguise Piglet or Tigger in their new incarnations, and even Owl seems to be re-born here as (surprise) an owl. Could be worse... they could have used Corey Feldman's voice. Oh wait, they did.

The Fox & The Hound is directed by Richard Rich who also directed one of my favourite non-Disney movies of all time The Swan Princess. The story of this movie however The Fox & The Hound is about a orphan fox named Tod(voiced later by the late Mickey Rooney from Night & The Museum)who is reared by an elderly woman in a farm. Later he meets a hound called Cooper(played by Goldie Hawn's partner Kurt Russell)who befriends Tod and the two become inseparable. Of course Cooper's owner is a fox hunter and he goes off till next spring. Years later they are both grown up and become rivals but can the two ever become best friends again.Now I saw this after a long long time as I bought it on DVD as I am trying to buy some of the Disney classics as there is a deal now at the minute where you can collect every Disney movie now at a reasonable price and I picked this up because I haven't seen it in a long time like I said. So what did I think of it well I saw it with my brother last night and he teared up where Cooper left Tod and when the old widow lady left Tod in the woods and he was in tears saying its so sad. It was a very heartbreaking scene but I didn't cry at it. Also I loved the animation as Glen Keane(who is my favourite animator from Disney before his retirement) and also it has Chris Buck(who would later become a director and direct the highly overrated film Frozen). Overall this was a very nice heartwarming tale about a fox befriending a hound and you see them grow up and later reconcile later on in the film.Also in this film is the woman who voices Queen Uberta in The Swan Princess Sandy Duncan as Vixiy(Tod's love interest).For me I give this movie 5 stars and a 10/10

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.
