 Mixed Reviews; though that's somewhat of an improvement compared to the sequels May 3, 2007

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.
 This could have been so good.... May 3, 2007

But it wasn't. Tod and Copper have lost all of their original spark. The story is apsolutely pointless. My [...] brother wouldn't sit through 5 minutes of it. Cash and Dixie REALLY stole the show and got on my freaking nurves. The movie just ended with Tod and Copper being friends again. We were back where we started. The Fox and the Hound 2 has no true conclusion and it doesn't add anything to thhe Fox and the Hound legacy. I'm a little embearassed of buying this, because I'm [..]and I thought that this would be a cute movie for us all. But it wasn't. This could have been a great movie if only Disney had taken the time to find better writers.
This is just weird April 27, 2007

Am I the only one here who's weirded out by disney's new in-betweener stories? Also I agree with a reviewer below that this isn't a real sequel. It's just about baby Tod and Copper all over. Yawn.... Please, save your money. Buy the classic movies or a real disney sequel instead.
