cinemajesty Movie Review: "The Fox And The Hound" (1981)In a time when Disney Animated Studio domination on the U.S. domestic market started to fade by restreating, initiative feature director Wolfgang Reitherman (1909-1985) known for animating "Cinederalla" (1950) and then directing the popular animated movie classics "The Jungle Book" (1967) and "Robin Hood" (1973) comes this highly-unlikely story of the title-given two speaking-out animals in an Arkansas-forest-region in a united state of nowhere, when the spectactor must indulge into the struggle of life for finding balance by meeting unlikely friends, battling them, forgive them, learning further lessons to grow-up and then keeping out of trouble before a show-stopping, over-the-edge, grizzly-bear-hunted showdown destructs any hope of former Disney pleasures.Even though this evening-filling, fairly-paced animated feature by an directing trio, including writer Ted Berman (1919-2001), externalized producer Richard Rich and Art Stevens (1915-2007), a former animator for "Peter Pan" (1953) among others in favor of Disney Animation Studios as being lucklily a protegé of at that time still-dominating as co-producing Wolfgang Reitherman, who together could deliver in "Star Wars" -owned summer season of 1977 with entertaining "The Rescuers", but here break off the magic bow from a sacred tree for Walt Disney Pictures in giving-in to melodrama without one song sung by any character, especially due to the unless professional-synchronising actors Kurt Russell and Mickey Rooney (1920-2014), who share a portrayal of a hound, getting drilled to hunt for trails in the woods for food-purposes in order to feat shot-gun swinging not-in-the-slightest sympathical character of Amos Slade, given voice by look-a-like Academy-Award-winning actor Jack Albertson (1907-1981), who eventually dealing with trash-white designed, but decency-spreading neighbor of high-talking too-old single character of Big Mama, cowardly engaged by talented voice-gifted Afro-American entertainer Pearl Bailey (1918-1990).Additional trademarking feature, concerning this controversial animated feature by Walt Disney Animation get neglected as an unspectacular, almost in-audible soundtrack composed by Buddy Baker (1918-2002), who cannot save the major league animations as high-peak effort of the entire animation department with analyzing human as animal behaviour, mimics and gestures in dedicated detail to fulfill a simple-enough story of rivals by nature, when in today'sworld a blue police bunny & red crime-embracing fox is needed - totally recalling "Zootopia" (2016) - to blast international box offices.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
OllieSuave-007 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
Teacuppy This is one of my all-time favorite cartoons ever since my childhood.It shows us unlikely but really beautiful friendship between little Fox and Puppy who is being trained to become Hunting Hound...Several events take place and they are forced to become enemies and their lives change from its core...They soon have to adjust to extreme changes but eventually learn what is the most important thing...This story is so wonderful, heartwarming and beautifully made that it can't leave anyone indifferent. And it sure brings back great memories ... ah nostalgia ... I would recommend it to everyone. And it will always have a place in your heart.
Rainey Dawn I loved it then and I love it now. This film brings back good memories from my childhood. It is a long time favorite film. Such a good story about friendships. A friendship. That is exactly what this movie is about. The friendship between Todd (a fox) and Copper (a hound).This movie has quite a bit of comedy in it although the movie is a drama with some of the saddest moments in a Disney animation. One of the reasons I loved this movie was the fact it plays with the viewers emotions. It is a fabulous story.This movie is definitely underrated and deserves to be in the top 20 list of Disney's finest animated films - just my opinion.If you enjoyed other Disney animations like "Lady and the Tramp", "The AristoCats", "Dumbo", or "101 Dalmatians" then you might enjoy The Fox and the Hound.10/10
