The film opens with the classic Disney story element - the single parent of the main character dies. As an adult, I was shocked to find that Corey Feldman was the voice of young Tod, while Mickey Rooney voiced the adult version of the little fox and Kurt Russell voiced the grown-up hound dog, Copper. Sadly, I found The Fox and The Hound to not quite be the movie I remembered it to be.Īs a kid, knowing what actor voiced what role was never important to know. It's also probably been some twenty years or so since I saw the 1981 film, so I was excited to recently revisit the movie. I recall not only watching The Fox and The Hound numerous times, but I believe I even had a book and cassette tape based on the film that I probably listened to even more than watching the film. The next day, their differences forgotten, Copper and Tod team up and, using Copper’s superior tracking skills, they locate the Grand Ole Opry talent scout who signs “The Singin’ Strays” (minus Tod, who chooses his friendship with Copper over fame) on the spot.īeing a child of the 80s myself, I grew up watching all kinds of Disney films. With the encouragement of Dixie, the “diva” of “The Singin” Strays,” Copper manages to sabotage an important audition. While Tod does his best to fit in with his new friends, Copper finds himself relegated to “roadie,” a position he begins to resent. In The Fox and the Hound 2, music takes centerstage as Tod contemplates joining up with “The Singin’ Strays,” a group of harmonizing dogs appearing at the local county fair but dreaming of hitting the big time at the Grand OleOpry.
Seeking revenge, Copper hunts down Tod only to find himself confronting an even bigger enemy, which he and Tod must face together. During the pursuit, Tod escapes but Chief is seriously injured. When they return, a lonely Tod eagerly greets his old playmate but is stunned when a reluctant Copper joins Slade and Chief to chase Tod through the forest. Copper spends the winter with his owner, Slade, and an older dog, Chief, tracking animals at a remote cabin. When Tod, an orphaned fox cub meets Copper, a coonhound puppy, they make a pledge to be lifelong friends, not realizing that Copper is being groomed to hunt wild animals, including foxes.
