Description of this Fox and Hound Poster
The Fox and Hound is a 1981 American animated film, produced by Walt Disney Productions and loosely based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Daniel P. Mannix. The 24th Disney animated film[a] tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a red fox named Tod and a hound named Copper. The two friends struggle to maintain their friendship despite their budding instincts and the surrounding social pressures that demand they be adversaries, as they are enemies by nature. After Chief, Copper’s mentor and guardian, who belongs to the same hunter as Copper, is struck by a train while chasing Tod and seemingly nearly dies, Copper assumes his role as his hunting dog and vows revenge on Tod. The two former friends eventually clash, but in the end, Copper saves Tod after Tod saves Copper and his owner from a bear. The film was directed by Ted Berman, Richard Rich, and Art Stevens, marking Berman and Rich’s directorial debut. It was produced by Ron Miller, Wolfgang Reitherman, and Art Stevens. The voice cast consists of Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell, who voice Tod and Copper, respectively, while Pearl Bailey, Jack Albertson, Sandy Duncan, Jeanette Nolan, Pat Buttram, John Fiedler, John McIntire, Dick Bakalyan, Paul Winchell, Keith Mitchell, and Corey Feldman provide the voices for the film’s other characters. Mitchell and Feldman, in particular, portrayed young Tod and young Copper. The film’s instrumental score was composed and conducted by Buddy Baker, with Walter Sheets providing the orchestration. Walt Disney Productions obtained the film rights to Daniel P. Mannix’s novel in 1967, but actual film development did not take place until the spring of 1977. The Fox and the Hound marked the final appearance of the remaining members of Disney’s Nine Old Men, which included Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. Although the former animators were involved in the early development of the film, it was eventually handed over to a new generation of animators after the retirement of the former animators. This marked the debut film of future directors, including Tim Burton, Brad Bird, and John Lasseter. During production, the film’s release was delayed by over six months following the abrupt departure of Don Bluth and his animation team. Further concerns were raised about the handling of the scene in which Chief is hit by a train, which was originally supposed to result in Chief’s death. After debating how to handle the scene, the filmmakers decided to change the death to a non-fatal injury, with Chief suffering only a broken leg. The Fox and the Hound was released theatrically on July 10, 1981, by Buena Vista Distribution. The film was a financial success, becoming the 14th highest-grossing film of the year and grossing $39.9 million in the United States. However, it received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the film’s animation and voice acting, but felt that the film was not groundbreaking enough. It was nominated for three awards, winning one. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive animated film produced to date, costing $12 million.[1] It was re-released theatrically on March 25, 1988.[4] A middling sequel, The Fox and the Hound 2, was released directly to DVD on December 12, 2006.
