When it did get here, it was played for the next few days the once a day she was allowed to watch it.Movie Review: Great for the kids!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought it for my 3 year old and she absolutely loves it. I am not as excited. I grew up with the first one and when I saw the second one I was so disappointed. I do not like Disney's sequels at all. They very rarely follow the original story. It feels like they just try to sneak something in there and hope that whoever watches it didn't watch the first one, pretty sad actually. If you buy it, just know that it doesn't follow the first one. It should have a different name not Fox and the Hound 2.Movie Review: Good Sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
voice talents in this are great. It's a bit more upscale then the orignal, but has some good music in it. Animation is alright as well. My kids like it and that's the important thing.Movie Review: Mixed Reviews; though that's somewhat of an improvement compared to the sequels
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm (guess:P), just using the kid's review because it's so much easier.
Here we go again, another midquel. Yet this time it's to one of disney's more unpopular films, The Fox and the Hound. Needless to say, TFATH's fans aren't as numorous and sensitive as those of more popular classic disney films, so disney naturally thought that a sequel to such might be better recieved. Why? Honestly, how many sets of pajamas do you see with Tod and Copper on them? Disney was apparently hoping that most viewers of The Fox and the Hound 2 had either never seen or did not remember the original. In fact, the "sequel" depends on this to fuel it.
It is easy to imagine this as a seperate ordeal. Continuity with the original TFATH is zilch in this midquel, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. Disney's midquels after all rarely pay any heed to their predeccessors. The story anchors on Copper's wish to find his own talent, which he soon discovers to be singing. He and Tod then take off to the carnival, soon meeting the "Singin' Strays", giving Copper his big opportunity: he takes the place of a previous singer (Dixie) and joins the band. Tod feels left out now that his best friend rarely has time for him, but soon joins forces with Dixie to return things as they were.
The Adventures of Tod and Copper (oops! I mean the Fox and the Hound 2) are slapstick and cartoony when compared to the classic, or any other animated film, disney or not, for all that. Not to mention that I'm no fan of country music, which tends to dominate TFATH 2. Cash and Dixie DO tend to steal the movie a lot of the time, in fact on such a time I was inclined to wonder if The Fox and the Hound 2 was properly named, because a lot of the movie felt like "Cash and Dixie" rather than the other. Still, the characters evoke empathy and their dilemmas are relatable.
The Animation is "Disney DTV Sequel Style", aka apsolutely gorgeous. The backgrounds are fluid and believable. DisneyToon Studios at least are improving their animation. But pretty is as pretty does, correct?
It is likely that many will buy TFATH 2 and enjoy it due to the not-so-high expectations of disney DTV follow-ups, but true fans who grew up on and enjoyed the original The Fox and the Hound are even more likely to be infuriated and dissapointed with TFATH 2. I know that I was.
