Jay W I love "The Fox and the Hound". It is sweet, heartfelt and at times it can even be frightening. The ending of this movie is one of the most powerful moments in all of animation. This movie has made me laugh, gasp and cry. I love the animation; I love the music and I love the story of friendship. So, what holds this one back from being a (10/10) animated film? Simply put when this film is about the fox and or the hound, it is great stuff. Whenever it wanders to other stories, it is an immediate step down in quality. When the movie cuts to Dinky and Boomer chasing after Squeaks the caterpillar, I feel my time is being wasted. Even when I was a kid watching this movie, I hated these discount Tom & Jerry segments. In other negatives, there are some character moments that should have been dialed up a bit more to hit their emotional potential. There could have been more scenes between the title characters to really establish their friendship. And I acknowledge the plot hole of...just how long does one hunting trip last? Disney animation was going through a bit of turmoil inside at this point in history. Don Bluth and 17 animators had recently left the company to make their own quality animated films. This left this film in an awkward limbo, with a few too many cooks in the kitchen. Some scrapped ideas included a singing flamingo. There is a 10/10 movie in here, it just doesn't fully develop. Take out the scenes with the woodpecker and caterpillar, kill off a character and add a little more of the Fox and Hound, then we would have tight 70-minute animated gold. As is, it is still a great animated movie. In general, I think it is overlooked, as far as being one of Disney's best. It's one of my favorite animated films, and it will be forever won't it? Yeah...forever. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Nick S Felt like it overused cheap emotional heart-breaking tropes that Disney likes to use... Otherwise it's good, semi-classic Disney movie.

Predictable plot, but still a relatively enjoyable film to watch, especially if you're a Disney fan. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Lincoln N This is the movie of all time. The only movie that actually was able to make me cry. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Dale R The story of a fox kit and bloodhound puppy that become friends. This film has some really solid moments, but most of them happen in the second or third acts. Now, I understand that without the first act these moments wouldn’t have the emotional weight they do, but I didn’t enjoy the first act. I think this stems from my dislike of child characters that Disney portrays in the 70’s and 80’s, they are too cute and more of a caricature of children instead of what they really are like. “Best of Friends” is a great song, the “drop off” scene is a tear jerker, and the ending is really powerful and satisfying. I’d recommend viewing it at least once. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
