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.

All charmingness aside, this cute but rather thinly plotted yarn exposes the cracks that were present in the pre-renaissance Disney empire.
September 3, 2008 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Against all odds, a tear or two is effectively jerked, and there was enough skill on display to encourage some hope for the new generation of Disney animators, who made their debut here.

A wounded and unresolved movie free of the expected Disney cutesiness and complacency.
October 13, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
One of the more homely Disney animated features.

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

Dec 17, 2012The plot is indeed a bit derivative from Bambi, but it manages to take the friendship-turned-rivalry onto a charming to chaotic adventure.Max G Super Reviewer

Sep 16, 2012Disney's The Fox and the Hound is a fun family film that's full of adventure. It's the story of a fox cup named Todd and a hound dog pup named Cooper who form an unlikely friendship, which is put to the ultimate test when Cooper is trained up to be a hunting dog. Some impressive voice talent has been assembled for this film, including Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russell, Sandy Duncan, and Corey Feldman, who all do good work. However, and animation isn't too sharp and lacks the vibrancy of previous Disney films. And, the songs aren't that catchy or inspiring. There's a little bit of that classic Disney magic to The Fox and the Hound, but it's not one of their top tier films.Dann M Super Reviewer

Boomer: | [after he and Dinky get shocked] HOLY... |
Dinky: | ...SM-OKE! (cough) |
Dinky: | ...SM-OKE! [cough] |
Young Tod: | Copper, you're my very best friend. |
Young Copper: | And you're mine too, Tod. |
Young Tod: | And we'll always be friends forever, won't we? |
Young Copper: | Yeah, forever. |
Widow Tweed: | Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end. But in my heart's the memory, and there you'll always be. |
Big Mama: | If only the world wouldn't get in the way. If only people would just let you play. They say you're both being fools. You're breaking all the rules. They can't understand the magic of your wonderland. When you're the best of friends, sharing all that you discover. When these moments have past, will that friendship last? Who can say there's a way? Oh I hope, I hope it never ends, 'cause you're the best of friends. |
