Watch The Fox and the Hound For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

hyped garbage

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is a charming movie with a couple of very strong scenes, but it also has a couple of flaws that really drags it down. Let us start with the good stuff. I still find the colours pretty and true to the forest and rural environment without being on par with Bambi for example. The owl, Big Mama is a likable and sincere side character and adviser for the young Tod. The human characters are good as opposites to one another. The establishing of the friendship between a fox and a hound is generally a good premise, because in the countryside setting of the movie they are naturally hunter and prey. It really begins when Tod grows up. He gets in trouble with the movie's antagonist, Amos Slade, and it forces Tod's owner to take him back to the forest in a heartfelt tear-jerker scene. When he is chased by Copper and the older dog, Chief, it is really intense. But here is my major problem with this movie. The point of no return part of the movie also leads to maybe the most disappointing anti-climax in Disney history when Chief falls off a bridge. Watch the movie and you will know. To the bad stuff. In short, the side characters, Boomer and Dinky are just the most forgettable ones and do not serve a remarkable purpose in the movie. Every time I watch it, I don't remember a word they said and didn't care that much of their antics. As said, those two parts of the movie have always been bucking me. But aside from them it is a recommendable watch for the family with some chilling scenes and likable characters.

This is Disney's 24th full length animated feature film, a movie that will tug at your heart strings. It tells the tale of a fox and hound named Todd and Copper, who have befriended each other and vowed to remain best friends. However, as time went by, Copper has been trained to be a hunting dog, thereby, putting the friendship between him and Todd at risk.It is an innocent, heartwarming and charming movie that is simply endearing, from Todd and Copper's frolicking around the forest to birds Dinky and Boomers' slapstick attempt to catch a quick-thinking caterpillar. Even the kindhearted Widow Tweed's chemistry with hunter Amos Slade is captivating to watch, especially when she tries to tame his fiery personality after Todd innocently roams around his property. The sacrificing of Todd and Copper's friendship is powerful to watch and Widow Tweed's parting ways with Todd in the forest is heartbreaking.Each of the character is carefully thought out and each has his/her own unique charm. The character development progresses very well throughout the movie, mimicking that of true human/nature emotions: companionship, friendship, joy, sorrow and survival. The hand-drawn animation is vibrant, songs are meaningful and direction is solid.It's definitely a movie that has that special Disney touch. While there is no magic, fairies, princes and princesses, this film is a captivating and uplifting story of friendship, sacrifice, survival, adventure and renewal, as well as touches of humor. It's definitely a great movie for the entire family to enjoy! Grade A

This is just a classic Disney film and I would have to say one of my all time favourite movies. I've come to that conclusion because I remember watching it as a kid and loving it and now in my re-watch some 30 (ahem) years later (or so) I've enjoyed it just as much. I suppose I liked it in a different way this time around as it filled me with nostalgia but it still really made me laugh too.Its the usual Disney fare endearing and delightful, but the message here is fantastic, the dog and fox antics hilarious along with the voices of Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell.The story follows the lifelong friendship between a fox cub and a bloodhound puppy who grow up together and then realize their friendship is doomed because Copper is a hunting dog, and Tod is his prey.Hopefully my 3 year old nephew will visit again soon and I can rediscover another childhood classic movie. 07.11

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
