Plot summary

A young red fox Tod is left orphaned when his mother is killed by a hunter and his dog. A kindly owl, named Big Mama, arranges him to be adopted by the compassionate Widow Tweed as a pet on her farm. Tweed names the fox Tod. Meanwhile, Tweed's neighbor, an ill-tempered hunter named Amos Slade, brings home a young hound puppy named Copper. Slade introduces Copper to his experienced hunting dog Chief, who is rather uneasy to interact with the younger pup at first but later treats Copper as his own son. For the American comedian, see Redd Foxx. ... For other uses, see Owl (disambiguation). ... Hunting is, in its most general sense, the pursuit of a target. ...

Tod and Copper meet and form a friendship they feel will last forever. Slade grows frustrated after Copper is constantly caught wandering off to play with Tod. After several meetings between Tod and Copper, Slade places Copper on a leash to stop him from wandering off.

Undeterred, Tod decides to play with Copper at his home. Tod's visit to Slade's farm becomes disastrous when he inadvertently awakens Chief, who promptly chases him throughout the farm. Slade enters the pursuit as well, trying to shoot Tod. The pursuit finally ends after Slade begins shooting at Widow Tweed's car, with Tod in tow. A furious Tweed takes Slade's gun out of his hand and shoots his car's radiator. After a fierce argument, the belligerent Slade makes it clear that he intends to kill Tod at his first opportunity.

For the rest of the summer Tod is limited to the house with Widow Tweed. The matter is shelved for the moment, with hunting season commencing, and Slade takes his dogs into the wilderness for the interim. Meanwhile, Big Mama explains to Tod that his friendship with Copper cannot continue, as they were bred to be enemies. Tod, in his innocence, states that he and Copper are "gonna be friends forever."

Months pass, and Copper becomes an excellent hunting dog. Upon Copper's return, Tod, who at the same time has become a handsome, full-grown, adult fox, meets him during the night, thinking their friendship unchanged. Copper explains that he is a hunting dog now, and that they can no longer be friends. Their meeting is cut short when Chief awakens and alerts Slade. A chase ensues, but Copper diverts Chief and Slade so that Tod can escape. Unfortunately, Chief manages to maintain the pursuit, which carries onto a railroad track trestle. When a fast-moving train suddenly approaches, Tod is able to duck under the vehicle, but Chief is struck and wounded. Enraged, Copper blames Tod for the accident and swears vengeance.

Realizing that Tod cannot safely stay on her farm now, Tweed leaves him at a nature preserve, which has signs prohibiting hunting. Although Tod has a difficult time adjusting, Big Mama helps by introducing him to a young, beautiful vixen named Vixey. Tod first tries to impress Vixey by catching a fish, only to fail, causing Vixey and the other animals of the game preserve to laugh at him. Angry and hurt, Tod tells Vixey that she's "a silly, empty-headed...female!" Angered, they refuse to speak to each other, but Big Mama intervenes with the song "Appreciate the Lady" and directs Tod in being himself, and Vixey to give him another chance. They get along very well once Tod admits his lack of survival skills. Vixey is now aware of his inability to survive in the wild and helps him adapt. This also seems to bring Vixey and Tod closer in a romantic light.

The vengeful Slade and Copper trespass into the preserve to kill Tod with leghold traps and guns. The result is a harrowing chase throughout the forest trying to catch Tod and Vixey that climaxes when Slade and Copper inadvertently provoke an attack from a disturbed bear. Slade gets off only a single shot before he trips and gets caught in one of his own leghold traps and his gun falls just out of his reach. Copper fights the bear but is nearly killed in a very vicious fight. Against his better judgment, Tod intervenes to save his friend. He fights the much larger bear and ends up luring him on to a fallen trunk that breaks and sends the two falling down a waterfall.

Tod survives and meets Copper at shore, stunned at Tod's heroism for his sake in spite of current events. However, Slade does not share any gratitude and suddenly appears, still vindictively eager to kill the fox. Copper makes the moral decision of interposing his body in front of Tod, and Slade, reluctant to kill his own hound for a petty vendetta against a fox who had just saved their lives, is forced to give up and return home. The fox and hound share one final smile before going their separate ways and at the same time, Squeeks the caterpillar is turned into a butterfly while Dinky and Boomer are watching through his hole in order to eat him (throughout the film, Dinky and Boomer are always trying to eat Squeeks but are outsmarted by him every time).

In the final scene, Copper rests in his dog house, he hears Tod's voice of when they were young saying that they would be friends forever. He smiles at this, and falls asleep. The view then backs out to a small hill, where Vixey joins Tod, looking at both houses.

Making of the film

This film represented a changing of the guard of the animators creating the film from Walt Disney's "nine old men" to the more recently trained Disney animators who had moved through the in-house animation training program begun in 1976.^[2][3]

The story was based on Daniel Mannix's 1967 book The Fox and the Hounds. The original novel ended with a hunter nailing Tod's lifeless pelt to the wall then shooting Copper with his shotgun. for others of similar name, see Daniel Mannix (disambiguation) Daniel Pratt Mannix IV, usually called Daniel P.

The story was changed to be more Disney-like with a happy ending (though not a traditional one) and was the last work of the remaining original animators. Don Bluth worked as an animator on this film, but left Disney early in the production, taking 11 Disney animators (which comprised 17% of the production staff) with him to start his own rival studio, Don Bluth Productions. This studio, which eventually became Sullivan Bluth Studios, was Disney's main rival through the 1980s and produced The Secret of NIMH and a number of other well-known films. As a result of Bluth's defection, production on The Fox and the Hound was delayed by nearly six months.

Originally, the writers of the film intended for Chief to die when he got hit by the train, so that Copper's revenge against Tod is more extreme. Story veteran Vance Gerry argued for the department: "But he gets hit in the kisser with a freight train!!" To which Ron Miller and co-director Art Stevens countered: "Geez, we never killed a main character in a Disney film and we're not starting now!" As was also the case in Lady and the Tramp, where Trusty is seemingly killed but in a later scene has recovered, Chief suffers major injuries but is saved from death.^{[citation needed]}

Critical reaction

Many were disappointed that the predominantly young creative staff, many of whom had only recently joined the company, had produced a film that seemed very conservative in both concept and execution. Other critics, like Richard Corliss of Time Magazine, praised the film for its intelligent story about prejudice. He argued the film shows that prejudiced attitudes can poison even the deepest relationships, and the film's bittersweet ending delivers a powerful and important moral message to audiences.
