The Fox and the Hound marked the last collaboration betweenDisney's older artists, including three of the "Nine Old Men" (FrankThomas, Ollie Johnston, and Woolie Reitherman), and the young animators whowould 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 histraining as hunting dog. Unfortunately, neither character develops much of apersonality, which makesit difficult to care about them. The screen comes alive near end of the film, when Tod and Copper have to joinforces to fight off an enormous bear. It had been years since Disney produceda sequence with this kind of feral power--and years would pass before theysurpassed it. The Fox and the Hound ranks as one of the studio's lesser efforts, butit suggests that better films were soon to follow. (Ages 5 and older) --Charles Solomon

- An Example Of The Mediocrity Of Post Walt Disney/Pre-Renaissance
The Fox and the Hound never caught fire with me and I don't see much about it that's endearing. It dates from Disney's dark ages after the decline and near fall of the studio circa the early 1970's to late 1980's, and it just isn't up to snuff compared to the gems of the Disney Renaissance of 1989-2000. My parents took me to see this at a theater when I was very little, and I fell asleep. I saw it again last month and...fell asleep. To each her own but in my view this production oozes ersatz sentimentality ... Read More
