Wow. I was not expecting that from a movie about a fox and a hound, or from Disney's career in the early 80's. This movie delivers, and then some.
Every single shot of this movie is lovingly, meticulously crafted. The artwork, the animation, the staging. You really get the feeling of being transported somewhere, a place both small and wide, wonderful and dangerous.
In the riveting opening scene, we hear a fox on the run from hunter dogs. As it scurs across the landscape, it drops a bundle right before escaping our eyes. A deafening gunshot later, and our baby fox, Tod, is cast into the world an orphan. But old widow Tweed takes care of him, brings him up,…

*Part of Disney Project*
I remember this being a depressing and sweet tale as a kid that kinda in the same vein as Bambi. Not as sad as I remember and it is pretty slow in the first half, but the story is still such a strong and relatable story. The side characters are forgettable but it's all about the story with the fox and the hound that resonates so well. It's more apparent now that it flops in some scenes but for the most part, it's done pretty well. One of Disney's more underrated films.

NATURE VS. NURTURE, Y'ALL!

This film is both hearwarming and heartbreaking. If you watch it and somehow manage not to cry, congratulations: You're Satan.

Pensaba que sería una que perdería con el revisionado, son un perro y un zorro. Pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Animación muy cuidada con unos fondos estupendos y una historia más adulta que todas las de la "etapa peluda", con una moraleja clara y bien contada que recuerda a los guiones del Dinsey de los 90.

Saw this in the theater when I was a kid. Not one of my favorite Disney cartoons but not bad.

It's interesting to see Disney show the melancholy side of the 'know your place' dogma it frequently advocates.
Visually, it boringly tries and fails to look like Bambi. Its approach to colour is pretty simple: saturated in the foreground, muted in the background (still, at least it's not agressively annoying, like the saturated-colors-only approach of some of their later films).
Oh, and apparently, 'cheer him up' is Disney language for 'have sex with him'.

Imperfect but effective tear-jerker that probably stands as one of the better moments in Disney's 1980s slump.
