The Fox and the Hound Reviews
Antagony & Ecstasy
Cloying and cutesy, a helpless callback to a number of truly classic movies that it couldn't hope to equal, let alone better.

Accomplished and sometimes exciting ... but by and large unsatisfying.

...very sweet and no doubt a delight for children, but I found it quite slow and tedious.

One of the weaker Disney animated films.

Q Network Film Desk
not one of the studio's best efforts, but nonetheless it remains a fascinating product of an era of upheaval as well as a meaningful statement about the nature of prejudice

Empire Magazine
All charmingness aside, this cute but rather thinly plotted yarn exposes the cracks that were present in the pre-renaissance Disney empire.

The bottom line, I suppose, is: Will kids like this movie? And the answer is, sure, I think so.

Disney may have gone off the rails for a few years after The Fox and the Hound, but this one still feels like a classic. Or at very least, a mini-classic.

Slant Magazine
A wounded and unresolved movie free of the expected Disney cutesiness and complacency.

Slant Magazine
A work of both learned, assured poise and triumphant freshman determination, not far away from other benchmark-status works like Snow White or Pixar's Toy Story.
Eye for Film
Importantly, the story relies on plot to carry it along and serves as a welcome reminder that audiences don't require a popular reference or in-joke every five minutes to sustain their interest.

Nick's Flick Picks
The most charming of Disney features of the 1980s, with two appealing protagonists and a worthy story.
| Original Score: 4/5
Cinema em Cena
Ainda que apresente algumas das falhas habituais das produções Disney dos anos 70, tem personagens carismáticos e marca a estréia de uma nova geração de animadores.

It was a self-contained story that didn't try to change the world, and that was part of its charm.

Groucho Reviews
Sweet but a bit dull...Overall, the picture is good-hearted and colorful, with an ending that carries a nice touch of ambiguity about the tussle of nature and nurture. [Blu-ray]
