The 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

 HIGHLY disappointing April 5, 2008
Disney did not make this available in widescreen. You would think that a newly released movie would be a little more "this century". I returned it without even opening it. It wasn't released in the theaters this way. I'll wait until Disney releases a version without half the movie hacked off the sides. BOO to Disney.
 Good not great film, DISAPPOINTING DVD PACKAGE March 29, 2008

This film is a good NOT great Disney entry.
It took me a while to finally purchase this 25th anniversary package.
With that name, an 25th anniversary package I expected A LOT more than I got.
1. Package has those horrible, NEVER, should have been designed 2 little flip open flaps on it. I HATE THESE THINGS.
2. Package ONLY had 1 DVD. I expected 2 DVD's.
3. Only OK extras. I always do like the "Making Of" features but other than an "Art Gallery" there was not that much as for extras UNLESS you are a child.
4. No brochure, any information on the film. 25th anniversary & the company could not give information on the film? Cheap.
5. And NOT WIDE SCREEN.
Needless to say, I was just disappointed with this. I expect more from Disney.

My favorite childhood movie, though a real tearjerker. I bought it for my niece and she loves it.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2C50H8GLRT4RO Adorable baby fox, an orphan (his mother is shot) finds a home through Big Mamma Owl with a lovable old farming lady, Widow Tweed.
She calls him her "toddler" and then names him Todd.
Todd soon meets Copper, a cute little pup. The scenes of the two playing are delightful.
"We'll be friends forever" says Todd to Copper.
Copper's owner is a hunter. He takes Copper a long hunting trip. When Copper returns, hunting lessons and his instinct take over an Todd is now his enemy. This leaves Todd perplexed and unhappy.
There are quite emotional scenes. After the hunter threatens Mrs. Tweed, she drives Todd to a game reserve believing Todd will be safe from the vindictive hunter there.
There's a loving ending where Copper finally learns the true meaning of friendship and his friendship with Todd is renewed.
Although there are many tear jerking moments, the film teaches children the devotion and real meaning of friendship.
I watched this with my nephews and they loved it.I recommend this without any reservations.
Another Great Anniversary Edition January 3, 2008

I can't add anything about the movie itself. The only reason to buy these special editions is for the extra features. Behind the scenes stuff, how the movie came about, interviews with actors who did the voices, ect. If you care about those things, this is a great set. If you don't, there is no reason to upgrade.
