    I recently just read the book and thought I would note some interesting details.
    The Master had a bunch of other hunting dogs, but they went away as time went on until it was only Copper.
    I don't think it was the Master that killed Tod's second family, just other hunters, otherwise Tod would have noted that fact.
    Here's the last paragraph of the book:
    "The Master made him lie down, and then held one hand over his eyes. Copper lay trustingly and contentedly. The Master knew best. Did he recall the many good times they had had together and this last great run - a day and a night and part of another day? Of course he did. Copper gave the Master's hand one last lick. He did not care what happened as long as he would never be separated from the Master, for he had killed the great fox, and in this miserable, fouled land there was no longer any place for fox, hound, or human being."

    fun fact about foxes, its actually quite rare for Male foxes to have more than one mate, they often will basically turn celibate if their mate dies, Vixens don't seem to do this though.

    • @phoenixx8963
      @phoenixx8963 5 років тому +147

      It's unlikely vixens have an instinct to do so. If their litter dies or is raised enough to go on their own then they are only really left to start another family for the sake of the population,even if their previous mate is dead or gone. I'm not sure what context the celibate fox is in, but chances are if their mate is dead but kits still alive then their energy is spent taking care of them rather than finding another fox to start a new family in.
      I always find this sort of nature interesting but i havent looked anything up so this is purely my guessings.

    I saw the movie when I was very young, and it was one of my favorites. Then, at age 11, I discovered the book, and was shocked at how grim it was and how extremely Disney had to alter the storyline to make it a kids' movie. It seems that Dan Mannix, the author of the book, wrote it to emphasize the tragic effect that growing urbanization was having on people, domestic animals and wild animals alike. Fun Fact: This movie was directly responsible for the creation of Don Bluth studios. Bluth was working for Disney as an animator, and thought they should keep the movie's storyline closer to the book. When the executives at Disney refused, Bluth and a lot of the younger animators stormed out and founded their own company.

      The dog was probably too old for anyone to want him. In those days, older animals were basically considered worthless. There are three very likely scenarios that would've happened had he not sit the dog:
      1) The dog would've been without anyone to care for him, and he would've suffered until he died of starvation or old age.
      2) Let's say someone did take him in, he probably would've starved to death because, as you may know, dogs get attached to their masters. If they lose their master, they get depressed, and they refuse to eat.
      3) Again, even if someone took him in and cared for him, he probably would've died of old age soon after. As you may recall, he almost died when the fox did, but the master was able to nurse him back to health. A new master probably wouldn't take the time to try to save his life if he was suffering. The new master would've shot him to relieve him of his suffering.
      All in all, he probably figured that was the dog's best option. As an animal lover, I am sad about it, but I do understand that things like that have to be done sometimes.

    Disney has always known to turn dark stories into light happy versions. Every popular fairy tale we know of first started out by being on the dark side. Such as in Snow White, The Evil Queen didn't die from falling in the original, she died from dancing wearing hot irons on her feet. The Step Mother and Sisters in Cinderella were both blinded by birds and the sisters had their heels and toes cut off to try and fit the shoe.
    When Disney wanted to make animated films and chose Snow White, they had to change it to follow the rule that was laid down when 2D animated was gain popularity, their cartoons cannot appear frightening to children. So, I guess, that's where Dinsey change the story to make it suitable for children and after the popularity for children audiences, they had to do it for any other stories that they've made into animation.
    But with The Fox and the Hound, firstly i didn't know that there was a book version of it and second, i cannot believe how dark the book is. After growing up with the warm-hearted version it's defenity taken a turn for me.

    The book is pretty dark, but I think I still like the Disney version better, because of the changes. It makes much more sense to have Tod and Copper know each other at a younger age, and to have them be friends, showing that nobody inherently hates another kind of person. That all changes, only after society has forced them into different roles where they hate each other, because that’s what they’ve been raised to do. In the end, they learn that they can overcome these societal roles and do what is right because it is the right things to do.

    Rather than being Dark as in "Messed up or scary", the origin is more sad and devastating. The ending broke my heart because ... i think the reason the hunter kills chief is because he doesn't want to leave Chief even of he has to, so he decided to "let Chief go". And every ending where the characters "Let go of" each other is like ... the saddest but also "for the best" option of ending.

      The reason the Master kills Copper is more clear if you've actually read the book: the Master's family wants him to sell his land and go to a retirement home where no dogs are allowed. At the end of the novel, he gives in, and goes on that one last walk with Copper because the Master knows he'll have no place with him. (Also, this was the 1960's, the Master has a very rural attiude, and Copper was quite old at this point.)

    The ending remind me of this family and their dog we knew, the dog was really gentle but eventually he was getting old and just didn't act like himself anymore. Barking at those he trusted before, trying to bite or attack anyone he sees, he just went completely rabid with no reasoning to it. One of the family members had the idea to put the dog to sleep since it was the most reasonable choice they had since they've tried for so long to bring the dog back to he's sanity, unfortunately the family decided to shoot the dog dead. I really miss the dog he used to be a big sweetheart. .

  • @forestgrump4723
    @forestgrump4723 4 роки тому +131

    See, even as a kid I was like "Chief should not have survived that fall" Not only is it a HUGE drop but you SEE him smack his head on the way down, hard enough that it should have snapped his neck. I'm assuming they included the head smack as a way to justify his survival though, as an unconscious body is more limber and therefore more likely to survive a large drop. Still, he shouldn't have lived, it doesn't make sense and he doesn't do anything more in the story (because in reality his character died) so why not allow the death? I guess it was too soon.
    The book sounds good, as a writer I think I would have killed the dog when the fox finally died. Then the hunter has no reason not to go to the nursing home, and you remove the traumatizing scene of him shooting the dog. The dog doesn't need to be alive anymore once the fox is killed it doesn't really serve any more point in the story.

      In production they actually wanted Chief to die originally which is why most of the scenes did not feature him after the train scene. But last minute they decided that they did NOT want an on-screen death and wanted to make it more kid friendly. I personally would have thought that Chief dying would have made Copper's anger a little more understandable and add a bunch of weight to the story

      Tara Nolte there’s no need to be unnecessarily gruesome though. This is unrealistically badly written simply to get urbanization across to its viewers. The Disney version is meant to portray a story of friendship that died but won in the end. Both have their purposes, but liking the Disney one more doesn’t signify wearing “rose-tinted glasses”, it simply shows one’s taste in storytelling. I personally believe that the original served its purpose for making an unrealistic and sad story to try to pass on the “evils of urbanization”, but I still enjoy Disney’s more due to its overall happier atmosphere. If you want to be depressed, then read the original, but if you’re looking for entertainment, go for the movie. Again though, both serve different purposes

      Killing the baby foxes was beyond excessive.
      Killing his dog was sort of sad, if he was as old as chief was in the movie at the beginning of the story then he should have been close to death already.

But Disney destroyed the true message of the book. Not only did Disney destroy the real message, they made the book impossible to be republished. You are right the book is a sad story (I cried at the end of most of the chapters). But the story brings to light the natural cycle of an environment and how humans effect that. The beauty about ecoliteracy is it teaches people to ask questions and take lead in making changes. I wish this book was in print again.

The only sad part is that she never returned home or saw her family again, because she unfortunately died of unknown causes at the age of about 21.

    Rewatching this after a long time, I think the points Mannix was making with the dark, utterly depressing, yet beautifully written and absolutely spellbinding book were:
    - The tragedy of the loss of youth, for the characters and for their world.
    - Urban expansion destroys life for everyone, people, domestic animals and wild animals (Mannix grew up in rural eastern Pennsylvania, and was horrified by the effects of urbanization on his beloved home environment.)
    - Revenge ultimately gets you nothing, even when you seemingly "succeed" at it. (Hence probably the most depressing ending in literary history.)

  • @Puppetgirl93

    I think what's messed up in the Fox and the Hound novel is that Tod's mother and siblings were savaged to death by dogs while in the Disney version of the movie Tod's mother is killed off screen by a gunshot and we don't know if he had any siblings at all. I didn't even know that the book existed until I bought a reader's digest book that included the Fox and the Hound novel story and I was just stunned by how vicious his mother's death in the novel is played. It makes me glad as a little kid I didn't read the book first.

    Also a little thing about the coyotes:
    You can poison them, though I don’t know how successful that would be. Most people set traps or just hunt them. It may sound a bit gross but where I live hunters will hang the bodies on trees or fences to keep the other coyotes from coming into their property (but only the ones with chickens and dogs that are usually outside). Even my grandfather hung one on the back fence after one of his dogs got killed and I haven’t seen a coyote on his property since so I guess it works. I know it’s weird sorry 😂

      It actually works with a lot of animals... even with rats it can work !
      Which makes sense: you show the animal that they're not welcomed and here they will be killed. Even if they can't think like us, their instincts will tell them to go away.
      Although better look it up before trying it, because for some other animals/insects it has the exact opposite effect :P

      Given that a very similar story called _The Springfield Fox_ (written 70 years earlier) has the author refer the female fox as "Vix", I'd argue that its a very appropriate name.

    I have a theory of a possible inspiration: The canis major and minor constellations.
    The canis major constellation represents Laelaps, the hound that never failed to catch what it was hunting. The canis major represents the Teumessian fox, a fox that could never be caught. Zeus pitted them against each other to see who would win. This was a paradox: a dog that always caught its prey versus a fox that could never be caught. The chase went on until Zeus, perplexed by their contradictory fates, turned both to stone and cast them into the stars as the constellations.
