This along with Mickey's Christmas Carol (the last classic Disney film not to have end credits) were the end of the old Disney era and the beginning of a new era and then The Black Cauldron was the first Disney animated movie to have full end credits. Fun fact: Alice in Wonderland was the first to have end credits (though it only showed the names of the actors who played which character)
This was my first introduction to a classic Disney animated film and a very poetic one. While this was the last hurrah for the Nine Old Men, it was the debut for a new generation of animators that would soon kick off a renaissance, with Don Bluth taking the first step. But, most importantly, I thank my second grandmother for showing this nostalgic piece of animation.
"Goodbye may seem forever": The saddest Disney moment ever! Seriously, I can handle Mufasa's death, "Baby Mine", and Bambi's Mom dying, but this song actually makes me cry whenever I watch it.
I see your point about the first half being a bit slow but I think it does good job not only establishing character but also setting up elements that play big role later, the best exemple being Todd naivity like Amos Slade hate for Tod and his constant invasion in Slade property to talk to Toby (a action that later result in Chief being injured and Toby developing his hate for Tod).
The Fox and the Hound DVD sequel didn't do justice to the original film. Instead of being a heartfelt and dramatic movie like its predecessor, it feels like when you put Home on the Range and Oliver and Company into a blender.

Fox and the Hound was definitely one of the more underrated Disney works of the 80s where it first introduced the new animators. I’m also aware Tim Burton actually was involved with the film only to animate vixie which he did not like doing. Time to enter the world of Cars in the next review
The Xerography looks good here, as they were able to add color tones to the Xerox lines, making it look like inked line and not pencil sketches. It was also the last Disney Animated feature to use the old RCA Photophone sound recording, as it was getting out of date, and Dolby was really taking over as the norm. I love the quiet tone of the this film, it makes it different from most animated features.
When it comes to "The Fox and the Hound", I haven't seen this movie in ages, but I do remember watching it on VHS for quite some time. The things I remember the most from this feature are the bond between Tod and Copper, and the funny side story of Dinky and Boomer trying to catch the caterpillar. While the latter doesn't contribute much, if anything, to the main plot, I do remember having a lot of fun with those scenes. So yeah, this may not be among my favorites, but it's one that I have some degree of nostalgia for. But with this movie done, for the next review, it looks like we'll be headed to the open road for one of my personal favorite Pixar films with a hot rod race car, a tractor tippin' tow truck, a fabulous Hudson Hornet and a forklift who can do fast pit stops! That's right! It's "Cars" time! KA-CHOW!
There was a video I saw about Amos Slade being the best Disney Anti-villain. I found it incredibly interesting and was what got me excited for this review. Also, Cars. I'm looking forward to that review simply because of Paul Newman (if that is the next review).
The Fox and the Hound is sure is a heart wrenching movie, but it is really enjoyable and one of Disney animations more underrated films. Anyways, next is Cars, and while I know that you won't be giving it a high rating nor the Animat Seal of Approval, I certainly consider it as a childhood favorite. So much so that it is the movie that I have watched the most in my life so far.
This was one of my favorite Disney movies growing up as kid, along with 101 Dalmatians, Lion King, W-ALLE, and many more. It really knows how to make you cry, especially when Todd was released. Even now I can’t watch that scene with crying along with the Baby Mine scene from Dumbo.
6:38 - On the contrary, that "filler" scene actually connects to the main story. Jambareeqi has made that observation and it really made sense when you go back watching the film.
@@orangeslash1667 why do I get the feeling that's because when Don left they were still planning to kill off Chief? Chief isn't a villain but he's not exactly a "good boy" either. So the discussion of if all dogs really go to heaven probably started with "would chief go to heaven?" "Well as they say All Dogs go to heaven." "But what if there was a dog so bad it didn't go to heaven?"
Ah yes. My mother showed me this film when I was a little boy and it stayed with me on the level of the big names for Disney like Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Mulan.
15:49 besides Tigger and Boomer, Paul Winchel also voiced the unnamed grumpy guy in the Green Eggs and Ham cartoon from the animated special, Dr Seuss on the Loose (or Green Eggs and Ham & Other Stories as it’s called on home video). In there, he also does an obvious Tigger laugh after trying the green eggs and ham
I’m wouldn’t be surprised if Gargamel gave out a Tigger laugh in the original animated Smurfs series. Gargamel: (Tigger laugh) “Finally! I’ve caught a Smurf! I feel so bouncy!”
in my opinion Tarzan (1999) has the same problem i find Tarzan's childhood to be pretty much filler but when he grows up into an adult and meets Jane that's where this movie gets more interesting
The real problem with the sequence of Tarzan's childhood was that it was more comedic, which didn't match the action packed and heartfelt tone of the rest of the movie (I wish it was more like Simba's childhood or Lilo's), not to mention that Terk and Tantor were more like Timon and Pumbaa clones.
That’s why the last time I watched Tarzan on Disney +, I turned it off after the elephant falls scene, watched the entirety of Tarzan II, then picked up where I left off on the original.
7:51 personally, I feel sad and heartbroken when the bond between Todd and copper breaks. Sure, it has a strong second act, but I find the first act of the film to be so cute and cuddly.
After the review for Cars, I'd like to see reviews for Finding Nemo, Brother Bear and The Triplets of Belleville since they turn 20 this year, as well as Walt Disney's Peter Pan, as it turns 70 years.
@@hunterolaughlin Another review I want to see is one for Up to see if the movie overall is as great as many people say, or see its detractors having a point about the movie being clumsy and forgettable after the opening sequence
This is one of my all time favourite Disney film it makes me cry every single time it has a very great story about prejudice and friendship that definitely still holds up to this day!
. . . don't say things like that. Cars was the first movie i remember seeing the coming to theaters trailers for on tv. Even my youngest brother was already alive by the time it was coming out. How can someone be younger than cars and be on the internet. *realizes the movie is around 18 years old now* well shit how can there be adults younger than cars? Why is this what's making me feel old?
@darkhorsedouglas4789 I'm not younger than Cars My birthday: June 7 2006 Cars 1 release: June 9 2006 But yeah, ironically the movie is almost old enough to drive in the UK, now that is weird....
Also, for anyone to say something about Falkyn, I'm going to be ranking the films that Animat reviews from the past to get something out of writing the rankings of those movies, similarly to how Falkyn did it before. Next up on Animat's Classic Reviews is Cars, so there is a saying that this can get better after when Disney changed its animators and have Pixar go on the racing genre for the first time, especially with the mid 2000s for both Disney and Pixar nowadays.
The Fox and the Hound is one of my all time favorite classic Disney films! the animation and voice acting was all just marvelous! though the ending was pretty sad and could've been better.
Yes! I've been waiting for your review on my all time favorite Disney movie growing up I totally respect your opinion on The Fox and the Hound Yes, this may not be the greatest Disney movie ever but it's Disney cherished classic I've been watching the movie ever since I was a little girl and fell in love with it I love the story, the characters (mostly Tod and Copper), the themes and the messages The animation is gorgeous and the music is beautiful The friendship between Tod and Copper is very powerful and beautiful My favorite scene is when Tod saves Copper and then Copper saves Tod in return Such a powerful and emotional scene for me Everything about the movie, I just love it so much and it means so much to my heart For those who haven't seen The Fox and the Hound, I really highly recommend to watch it In my defense about not killing Chief is that the story is dark and depressing and so many things are happening, having Chief getting brutally killed by the train would be too much for this depressing movie and would've been traumatizing for the audience to witness that brutal death (yes its not believable to survive after getting hit by the train but it still works well enough for Copper's motivation after seeing his father figure badly injured) This is the cherished Disney classic that touches my heart ❤️ Story: 9.5/10 Animation: 9.5/10 Characters: 9.5/10 Music: 9.5/10 Overall: 9.5/10!!!!!
Judging off that clue for the next review, I think we're going back to the very beginning of the Cars trilogy especially since Cars 2 and Cars 3 have already been covered
As much as this movie makes me cry, it still holds a place in my heart. When I was little, I used to take my Tod & Copper plushies with me wherever I go, and I still have with me (I don't take them with me anymore of course). Also, despite using the title & characters' names, this movie is more like it's other inspiration, 'The Belstone Fox' than 'The Fox and the Hound.' The book is so much more different from the movie, and there's a high body-count in it.😐
Interestingly, did you know this movie had a limited reissue in 1995 and 1996 outside of the US in the UK and Australia? It did, as proven from the posters online I looked up, and the Australian VHS opening of 101 Dalmatians contains a trailer to the international reissue. I wouldn't be surprised that Disney planned that for the US in 1994, but was changed to being release on home video instead. And decided to only give the movie a limited reissue in other countries.
Yeah, Chief got off a little too easy getting hit by a train and falling several stories from the rails. And during the time, the company were in a state of anxiety, asking the same question: What would Walt do? The answer is simple now, but I wish they figured it out sooner. Walt would've encouraged his employees to have their films move audiences and give them different reactions throughout the runtime. He'd make sure audiences would be taken on a journey with the characters, where they laugh, cry, get angry, and get worried, before given them a satisfying and happy ending. Tl;dr Walt would've made sure Chief stayed dead
and to think, this dark animated Disney classic was trying to be like the next Bambi! (not to mention how the Disney staff decide to give Trusty an injured leg in Lady and the Tramp decades earlier and I'm surprised you never give out your thoughts on the songs in the Fox and the Hound!)
Well the songs were pretty forgettable. I mean hardly anyone remembers them and they don't have the same impact like the older classics or the later renaissance films.
I will admit it has its flaws, but its a sweet movie, but next time we're driving down Route 66 to Radiator Springs and looking at the first film in the Cars franchise
"It's too cute." I love them! Grrrrr. Nothing wrong with being too cute; if you're patient it pays off. What's the matter with you boys and cute things? Ten-to-one you found something "cute" as a kid then your friend made fun of you for it so you stopped thinking it was cute. Todd and Copper are BABIES. Babies are cute. Did you miss the part where Todd almost get shot by the hunter before he leaves and learns from the birds that him and Copper can't be friends anymore? They didn't lighten the blow, either. Imo, the movies cuteness as one of its highlights as well as the dramatic tension and emotional stakes. I think what you might have mistaken for "cute" is tenderness. This is a rather tender movie and movies like that aren't made often for kids. There's "feel good" and then there's actually having something become part of your heart. Big Hero 6, for example. It went for an Iron Giant and it delivered! My opinion is that kids need to see movies like AS LONG as there is a good emotional payoff. When you tell a story, movie or otherwise, the most important thing is the emotional connection as well as the character development. Story is like the third most important thing. If you have a great emotional hook and people that you grow to care about, the story will happen. I love writing so the emotional and interpersonal relationships and the humor always come first. ALWAYS. Then we get to the actual plot. 😅
Looks like the next classic review is the first of the golden globe winners for best animated feature, Cars. It did loose to Happy Feet at the Oscar’s however.
But the hole thing of being cute at the beginning is kinda a point, Disney wants to trick kids that this isn’t gonna be a simple cute movie and in fact that is more heavy dark story. Very similar to bambi

Can you review "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"? In a video, I saw that it was one of the top 3 animated films of 2001, along with "Shrek" & "Monsters Inc."
Fox & The Hound came out way before I was born but it's one of the most nostalgic movies for me and that's why it's one of my favorite films ever I have fond memorys of watching it with my aunt & grandma as a small child.
I get what you mean about Paul Winchell and John Fiedler It can be pretty hard to distinguish certain actors from the roles they play. Heck, I can barely hear Baby Gonzo and Summer Penguin from the 2018 Muppet Babies without thinking of Numbah 2 (Kids Next Door) and Lynn Loud Jr. (The Loud House) respectively (The 2018 Muppet Babies is pretty good by the way)
Fun fact: Copper is voiced by Corey Feldman, whom you may recognize as Mouth from The Goonies, Teddy Duchamp from Stand by Me, and the voice of Donatello in the original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Don’t forget he was Pete in Gremlins, the kid that indirectly caused the Gremlin invasion by getting Gizmo wet by knocking over a paint jar of water. Thanks, Pete!
It’s me. I’m the animal lover with a soft spot 🖐️ This was one of my absolute favorite movies when I was a kid! I loved it for the cutesy animal stuff but as an adult, I really love drama and high stakes! And I still cry when Widow Tweed takes Tod to the forest 😭😭😭 I am with the animators, though that Chief totally should’ve died! But I am of the generation who grew up with Mufasa dying so that’s probably why 😂 it really is a good motivator Story wise!
To be honest, it's one of my least favorite Disney movies for the same reason. They tried to make it as dark, mature and melodramatic as possible to get a PG rating. Four years before The Black Cauldron. However, they decided to save their kid-friendly reputation by making a few changes to it, such as adding the pointless scenes of Dinky and Boomer chasing a caterpillar and Chief surviving from the train instead of being killed as they intended. It's no wonder Don Bluth, Brad Bird, and especially Tim Burton had a nightmarish experience with this movie. And I bet that's not what Walt Disney himself wanted.
Eh, who cares for Vixy anyways since she doesn’t really add anything significant to the story or to the obstacles in Todd and Cooper’s dwindling friendship so it’s not worth mentioning her.
I find it odd you didn’t cover the songs in this review considering the songs in this film as well as Vixy in the characters section, but honestly, I can’t fault you for that anyways considering the character doesn’t really do much to the narrative anyways other than being the standard love interest for one of the main characters. So the more we don’t talk about her and act like she doesn’t exist, the better. And I see Cars is the next Classic Review. While I know you’re not the biggest fan of the franchise and find it among Pixar’s “less great” films, at least I have the feeling your review will be more slightly positive compared to Doug Walker’s Disneycember review and James Schaffrilla’s editorial on “Why Cars Is Conceptually a Bad Franchise” (which the latter I’ve never seen and don’t have any intention of watching despite being an avid viewer of some of Schaffrillas’ videos).
This film was both so amazing and so incredibly emotionally taxing/upsetting at times as a young child lol, god how different Disney is now to back then =/
Ah this movie. I remember first discovering “the best of friends” from the VHS of “Winnie the Pooh sing a song with tigger” and even then I found the song alone sad, and didn’t see it until I was in grade 1. This is easily “the swimmer” of animated films - both of them have well known actors (Burt Lancaster in the swimmer, Corey Feldman and jack Albert son in this) which feature a depressing plot about being lonely, and if they have friends or not, and the outcome for both films are sad in the end. As a kid and even nowadays I always found this movie absolutely depressing. The first half isn’t slow, it’s more melancholy, as it shows being friends. So points there. But the third act was always too intense and heartbreaking, and then like the Burt Lancaster film, you feel depressed for the rest of the day. Also, this had a similar effect to me of hearing a voice I like going bad. In the jungle book I hated hearing poohs voice as kaa (I’m autistic, Pooh was a special interest of mine), and hearing a voice I associated with sweetness was stressful. Same with this, where jack Albertson is grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and is a grandpa figure most would want to have. And hearing that voice be a bad guy here as a kid was as stressful as that.
So I agree with you that Chief should have died. It makes more sense. However, I disagree that the beginning is unnecessary. Having it slowed paced made the second half’s punches much harder. You go from the first scene thinking oh, they killed the mom quickly. This is going to be a sad film. And then it’s cute, soft, and sweet until Todd is given up so he can possibly survive. Unlike the audience, Twiggy never knows what will happen to her pet. And then the tone changes. Bambi did something similar except it starts out cut and stays that way until his mom dies and it goes dark. And then they skip the darker stuff until the last fight. So Fox and the Hound did a better job at showing the darker tones later on.
The fact puppy copper's awoowo is filler to you tells me you've never had a puppy/small dog. It's one of the most realistic things they have the dogs do. I do agree the caterpillar stuff is unneeded filler tho. I just think the cute parts in the opening are the point! The cute best friends fall apart to the point of threatening to kill each other. A rare friendship tragedy instead of a romantic tragedy. You cant have the tragedy unless you see where it starts.
@@theponyofglory8545 Yes, I did. Jack Albertson, his name is. He was also in The Poseidon Adventure from 1972. The Fox and the Hound was his last film.
@@theponyofglory8545 Not to mention that 80s child/teen star Corey Feldman of Goonies fame voiced Copper. Don’t know much about Keith Coogan, though, apart from voicing Tod.

Animat's Classic Reviews 2023:
1# The Fox and the Hound: 7.3
Also, for anyone to say something about Falkyn, I'm going to be ranking the films that Animat reviews from the past to get something out of writing the rankings of those movies, similarly to how Falkyn did it before. Next up on Animat's Classic Reviews is Cars, so there is a saying that this can get better after when Disney changed its animators and have Pixar go on the racing genre for the first time, especially with the mid 2000s for both Disney and Pixar nowadays.
The Fox and the Hound is one of my all time favorite classic Disney films! the animation and voice acting was all just marvelous! though the ending was pretty sad and could've been better.
U have a cool avatar.🐉
@@mikekomarinski Meh not really, glad you think so though.
@@TheCommenterDragon Don Bluth said that this film inspired him to make All Dogs go to Heaven.
Yes! I've been waiting for your review on my all time favorite Disney movie growing up
I totally respect your opinion on The Fox and the Hound
Yes, this may not be the greatest Disney movie ever but it's Disney cherished classic
I've been watching the movie ever since I was a little girl and fell in love with it
I love the story, the characters (mostly Tod and Copper), the themes and the messages
The animation is gorgeous and the music is beautiful
The friendship between Tod and Copper is very powerful and beautiful
My favorite scene is when Tod saves Copper and then Copper saves Tod in return
Such a powerful and emotional scene for me
Everything about the movie, I just love it so much and it means so much to my heart
For those who haven't seen The Fox and the Hound, I really highly recommend to watch it
In my defense about not killing Chief is that the story is dark and depressing and so many things are happening, having Chief getting brutally killed by the train would be too much for this depressing movie and would've been traumatizing for the audience to witness that brutal death (yes its not believable to survive after getting hit by the train but it still works well enough for Copper's motivation after seeing his father figure badly injured)
This is the cherished Disney classic that touches my heart ❤️
Story: 9.5/10
Animation: 9.5/10
Characters: 9.5/10
Music: 9.5/10
Overall: 9.5/10!!!!!
Judging off that clue for the next review, I think we're going back to the very beginning of the Cars trilogy especially since Cars 2 and Cars 3 have already been covered
As much as this movie makes me cry, it still holds a place in my heart.
When I was little, I used to take my Tod & Copper plushies with me wherever I go, and I still have with me (I don't take them with me anymore of course).
Also, despite using the title & characters' names, this movie is more like it's other inspiration, 'The Belstone Fox' than 'The Fox and the Hound.'
The book is so much more different from the movie, and there's a high body-count in it.😐
This is the saddest and the sweetest movies I’ve seen🥺
Interestingly, did you know this movie had a limited reissue in 1995 and 1996 outside of the US in the UK and Australia? It did, as proven from the posters online I looked up, and the Australian VHS opening of 101 Dalmatians contains a trailer to the international reissue.
I wouldn't be surprised that Disney planned that for the US in 1994, but was changed to being release on home video instead. And decided to only give the movie a limited reissue in other countries.
Yeah, Chief got off a little too easy getting hit by a train and falling several stories from the rails. And during the time, the company were in a state of anxiety, asking the same question: What would Walt do? The answer is simple now, but I wish they figured it out sooner. Walt would've encouraged his employees to have their films move audiences and give them different reactions throughout the runtime. He'd make sure audiences would be taken on a journey with the characters, where they laugh, cry, get angry, and get worried, before given them a satisfying and happy ending.
Tl;dr Walt would've made sure Chief stayed dead
They were also in a similar conundrum with Trusty in Lady and the Tramp and Baloo in the Jungle Book.
I remember watching this movie all the time when I was little and I loved it every time I watched it
and to think, this dark animated Disney classic was trying to be like the next Bambi! (not to mention how the Disney staff decide to give Trusty an injured leg in Lady and the Tramp decades earlier and I'm surprised you never give out your thoughts on the songs in the Fox and the Hound!)
Well the songs were pretty forgettable. I mean hardly anyone remembers them and they don't have the same impact like the older classics or the later renaissance films.
Cars 1 is next! I predict it will be either a 6/10 or 7/10.
Most likely 6/10 would be my guess for the final score.
I hope it’s a 7/10 at least
@@hunterolaughlin he already gave the sequels a 6/10
Poo your pants at the sight of him bear XD
THE FIRST CARS IS NEXT!!!! YES!!!
Good first classic review of 2023
Cars is next, obviously. The first one specifically, because you already did the sequels before.
I think he wil rate it lower than Cars 3.
@@DylanLightfootOnwardFan2004 I don’t know yet.
Dude I swear little Todd is the cutest thing in Disney history
I will admit it has its flaws, but its a sweet movie, but next time we're driving down Route 66 to Radiator Springs and looking at the first film in the Cars franchise
Should have titled it as, The Beginning of the Michael Eisner Disney Animators | The Fox and the Hound Review.
The haikus in this man’s voice…
amous also did gandpa jo in willy wonka and the cholate factory!
Pat butram the voice of Chief, also did Robin Hood's Sheriff of Nottingham.
This was one of my childhood movies and I still defend it

"It's too cute."
I love them! Grrrrr. Nothing wrong with being too cute; if you're patient it pays off.
What's the matter with you boys and cute things? Ten-to-one you found something "cute" as a kid then your friend made fun of you for it so you stopped thinking it was cute.
Todd and Copper are BABIES. Babies are cute. Did you miss the part where Todd almost get shot by the hunter before he leaves and learns from the birds that him and Copper can't be friends anymore?
They didn't lighten the blow, either.
Imo, the movies cuteness as one of its highlights as well as the dramatic tension and emotional stakes.
I think what you might have mistaken for "cute" is tenderness.
This is a rather tender movie and movies like that aren't made often for kids.
There's "feel good" and then there's actually having something become part of your heart.
Big Hero 6, for example. It went for an Iron Giant and it delivered!
My opinion is that kids need to see movies like AS LONG as there is a good emotional payoff.
When you tell a story, movie or otherwise, the most important thing is the emotional connection as well as the character development.
Story is like the third most important thing.
If you have a great emotional hook and people that you grow to care about, the story will happen.
I love writing so the emotional and interpersonal relationships and the humor always come first.
ALWAYS.
Then we get to the actual plot. 😅
Good one on the poo bear joke!😂😂😂
If you guys thought that this movie was sad, just read the original novel. It’s downright depressing
Looks like the next classic review is the first of the golden globe winners for best animated feature, Cars. It did loose to Happy Feet at the Oscar’s however.
But the hole thing of being cute at the beginning is kinda a point, Disney wants to trick kids that this isn’t gonna be a simple cute movie and in fact that is more heavy dark story. Very similar to bambi
My Pikachu: Wait guys I know what it is-

Cars is next! Time to complete the trilogy!
Cars is the next review
I think
Can you review "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"? In a video, I saw that it was one of the top 3 animated films of 2001, along with "Shrek" & "Monsters Inc."
It's not my favorite Disney movie either, but it's still a pretty good movie and far better then it's direct-to-video midquel.
(9/10) The Story
(10/10) The Animation
(7/10) The Characters
I Give The Fox and the Hound (9/10) The New team work pretty well for this Movie
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a more authentic telling of Daniel Mannix's novel.
But for what it is, the Fox and The Hound is still a good movie
Cars is Next Animat Review
Fox & The Hound came out way before I was born but it's one of the most nostalgic movies for me and that's why it's one of my favorite films ever I have fond memorys of watching it with my aunt & grandma as a small child.
You are going to review Cars? Right then, I shall post my feelings about the film as you have posted your review of it.
I get what you mean about Paul Winchell and John Fiedler
It can be pretty hard to distinguish certain actors from the roles they play.
Heck, I can barely hear Baby Gonzo and Summer Penguin from the 2018 Muppet Babies without thinking of Numbah 2 (Kids Next Door) and Lynn Loud Jr. (The Loud House) respectively
(The 2018 Muppet Babies is pretty good by the way)
Same with Dan Castellanetta with Homer Simpson (sometimes) and especially Gilbert Gottfried because Iago from Aladdin.
@@josephrowe849 both good examples
And also Cree Summer
Fun fact: Copper is voiced by Corey Feldman, whom you may recognize as Mouth from The Goonies, Teddy Duchamp from Stand by Me, and the voice of Donatello in the original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Or young Copper ate least.
At
Don’t forget he was Pete in Gremlins, the kid that indirectly caused the Gremlin invasion by getting Gizmo wet by knocking over a paint jar of water. Thanks, Pete!
@Hunter O'Laughlin oh that's right he was, thanks.
It’s me. I’m the animal lover with a soft spot 🖐️ This was one of my absolute favorite movies when I was a kid! I loved it for the cutesy animal stuff but as an adult, I really love drama and high stakes! And I still cry when Widow Tweed takes Tod to the forest 😭😭😭 I am with the animators, though that Chief totally should’ve died! But I am of the generation who grew up with Mufasa dying so that’s probably why 😂 it really is a good motivator Story wise!
To be honest, it's one of my least favorite Disney movies for the same reason. They tried to make it as dark, mature and melodramatic as possible to get a PG rating. Four years before The Black Cauldron. However, they decided to save their kid-friendly reputation by making a few changes to it, such as adding the pointless scenes of Dinky and Boomer chasing a caterpillar and Chief surviving from the train instead of being killed as they intended. It's no wonder Don Bluth, Brad Bird, and especially Tim Burton had a nightmarish experience with this movie. And I bet that's not what Walt Disney himself wanted.
Even if she's just the Tod's love interest, he forgot to mention Vixey in his review.
Eh, who cares for Vixy anyways since she doesn’t really add anything significant to the story or to the obstacles in Todd and Cooper’s dwindling friendship so it’s not worth mentioning her.
I find it odd you didn’t cover the songs in this review considering the songs in this film as well as Vixy in the characters section, but honestly, I can’t fault you for that anyways considering the character doesn’t really do much to the narrative anyways other than being the standard love interest for one of the main characters. So the more we don’t talk about her and act like she doesn’t exist, the better.
And I see Cars is the next Classic Review. While I know you’re not the biggest fan of the franchise and find it among Pixar’s “less great” films, at least I have the feeling your review will be more slightly positive compared to Doug Walker’s Disneycember review and James Schaffrilla’s editorial on “Why Cars Is Conceptually a Bad Franchise” (which the latter I’ve never seen and don’t have any intention of watching despite being an avid viewer of some of Schaffrillas’ videos).
I heard His next review Is Cars, and I can't wait! That's my favorite movie.
This film was both so amazing and so incredibly emotionally taxing/upsetting at times as a young child lol, god how different Disney is now to back then =/
YAY CARS IS THE NEXT REVIEW 🥳🥳🥳🥳
That's right.
Cars is next
If he reviews cars next Friday, the Friday after that he'll have to review happy feet.
He’s Already Reviewed The Cars Sequels Now All That’s Left Is The First One
THIS is a great film that would pull your heartstrings. It's even a great film to teach kids about racism.
Ah this movie. I remember first discovering “the best of friends” from the VHS of “Winnie the Pooh sing a song with tigger” and even then I found the song alone sad, and didn’t see it until I was in grade 1. This is easily “the swimmer” of animated films - both of them have well known actors (Burt Lancaster in the swimmer, Corey Feldman and jack Albert son in this) which feature a depressing plot about being lonely, and if they have friends or not, and the outcome for both films are sad in the end. As a kid and even nowadays I always found this movie absolutely depressing. The first half isn’t slow, it’s more melancholy, as it shows being friends. So points there. But the third act was always too intense and heartbreaking, and then like the Burt Lancaster film, you feel depressed for the rest of the day.
Also, this had a similar effect to me of hearing a voice I like going bad. In the jungle book I hated hearing poohs voice as kaa (I’m autistic, Pooh was a special interest of mine), and hearing a voice I associated with sweetness was stressful. Same with this, where jack Albertson is grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and is a grandpa figure most would want to have. And hearing that voice be a bad guy here as a kid was as stressful as that.
So I agree with you that Chief should have died. It makes more sense. However, I disagree that the beginning is unnecessary. Having it slowed paced made the second half’s punches much harder. You go from the first scene thinking oh, they killed the mom quickly. This is going to be a sad film. And then it’s cute, soft, and sweet until Todd is given up so he can possibly survive. Unlike the audience, Twiggy never knows what will happen to her pet. And then the tone changes. Bambi did something similar except it starts out cut and stays that way until his mom dies and it goes dark. And then they skip the darker stuff until the last fight. So Fox and the Hound did a better job at showing the darker tones later on.
The fact puppy copper's awoowo is filler to you tells me you've never had a puppy/small dog. It's one of the most realistic things they have the dogs do. I do agree the caterpillar stuff is unneeded filler tho. I just think the cute parts in the opening are the point! The cute best friends fall apart to the point of threatening to kill each other. A rare friendship tragedy instead of a romantic tragedy. You cant have the tragedy unless you see where it starts.
I think it's Cars. I really love that movie, even the sequels! It was truly one of my childhood memories
Life Will be a highway for my brother in his next review.
My friend loves this. Vixie is his favourite character. Funny how Tim Burton animated her. Amos Slade also reminds of my dad, his moustache does.
Indeed, Sandy Duncan did an outstanding job voicing Vixie her voice fit the character perfectly!
Speaking of Amos did you know that he was voiced by the same actor that played Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
@@TheCommenterDragon She sure did. And using her right eye socket as a placeholder for Glenn Quagmire’s head. Lol.
@@theponyofglory8545 Yes, I did. Jack Albertson, his name is. He was also in The Poseidon Adventure from 1972. The Fox and the Hound was his last film.
@@theponyofglory8545 Not to mention that 80s child/teen star Corey Feldman of Goonies fame voiced Copper. Don’t know much about Keith Coogan, though, apart from voicing Tod.
This movie was also Jack Albertson's final movie.
I remember watching this film as a child and not caring about it much other than Chief's "death" and the bear fight.
you know chief didn't died in the movie in the book he's dies
Cool fact about this movie it's directed by the same guys who would later direct the underrated gem "The Black Cauldron".
Cars (2006) is the next review!
Next Month, Cars.
