Movie Reviews of The Fox and the Hound (25th Anniversary Edition)
Movie Review: An Example Of The Mediocrity Of Post Walt Disney/Pre-Renaissance
Summary: 3 Stars
The Fox and the Hound never caught fire with me and I don't see much about it that's endearing. It dates from Disney's dark ages after the decline and near fall of the studio circa the early 1970's to late 1980's, and it just isn't up to snuff compared to the gems of the Disney Renaissance of 1989-2000. My parents took me to see this at a theater when I was very little, and I fell asleep. I saw it again last month and...fell asleep. To each her own but in my view this production oozes ersatz sentimentality and shoots low in its emotional range. It isn't in the upper echelon of Disney films and it isn't all that great a movie either.

With an all-new Forest Friendship Game a DVD Storybook a Sing-Along Song and more your family will want to share the fun and adventure in this special edition of THE FOX AND THE HOUND again and again!System Requirements:Running Time: 83 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?G UPC:?786936694550 Manufacturer No:?04964200The Fox and the Hound marked the last collaboration between Disney's older artists, including three of the "Nine Old Men" (Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Woolie Reitherman), and the young animators who would make the record-breaking films of the '90s. Based on a book by Daniel P. Mannix, the film tells the story of a bloodhound puppy and a fox kit who begin as friends but are forced to become enemies. Tod and Copper barely establish their friendship before Copper begins his training as hunting dog. Unfortunately, neither character develops much of a personality, which makes it difficult to care about them. The screen comes alive near end of the film, when Tod and Copper have to join forces to fight off an enormous bear. It had been years since Disney produced a sequence with this kind of feral power--and years would pass before they surpassed it. The Fox and the Hound ranks as one of the studio's lesser efforts, but it suggests that better films were soon to follow. (Ages 5 and older) --Charles Solomon
