AMAZON.COM The Fox and the Hound The Fox and the Hound marked the last collaboration between Disneys 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 studios lesser efforts, but it suggests that better films were soon to follow.

Opportunity knocks when a vocal dog group called "The Singing Strays" looses its lead singer Dixie (voiced by Reba McEntire) and Copper discovers that hes a really good singer. Unfortunately, Coppers newly discovered fame leaves Tod feeling jealous and abandoned and threatens to destroy the pairs close friendship.
