    I’ve made the terrible mistake of watching the Fox and the Hound. I remember I used to watch that movie a lot when I was a kid, but it’s been so long since I last did it. And well… it still has this effect on me…

    The Fox and The Hound remains an underrated Disney film in my opinon. It is probably the best, story-wise, movie they came out with in the whole of the 70's, and is tracking in far larger ideas than anything before it. I would argue its the first emotionally challenging Disney film.

    Probably a bit too late to post art here but anyway. It's pretty obvious that I love animals in general and have a deep connection with them, and foxes are special creatures - started being obsessed with them at a very young age, since I watched "The Fox and the Hound" movie from Disney.

    Everything by Don Bluth. Literally everything his name on is childhood gold. Sometimes a little scary, but in a modern fairy tale sort of way. An American Tale All dogs go to Heaven The Secret of NIMH The Fox and the Hound The Land Before Time His movies never treated children like fools, a sentiment that's only recently becoming the standard for children's entertainment and he was doing it in the 80s.

    1) Dixie from the Fox and the Hound's sequel Haven't seen the movie, assume it's direct-to-video schlock (but I could be wrong) but I've seen scenes with Dixie and cringey AMVs from decades ago. But Reba's voice, Dixie's curvy quadruped build and her dances in the Good Doggie scene...she's just sex

    Very true. My childhood movie watching consisted of whatever used VHS tapes we found at garage sales or not-Blockbuster rental stores. The Disney movies I watched on repeat were like The Fox and The Hound, The Rescuers Down Under, and 101 Dalmatians. Everthing else was non-Disney and NOT a classic.

    If there is a Disney movie that I would compare Brother Bear to, I would choose The Fox And The Hound because of how it keeps its mature story consistent throughout. While some elements of the Disney formula may be distracting, but it gets its credit where credit is due.

    So between age 7-9 before I owned a PC (didn't write many stories by hand, except copying out a movie scripts...) I was on my own a lot and created "The Red Fox Chronicles", because The Fox and the Hound was my favorite movie then. Except... this was inspired by other media I watched/read 2/10

    I just realized why ALL of these movies have the same look and feel to them. It's because ALL of them had former Disney animator Richard Rich (known for The Fox and the Hound, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Small One, and The Black Cauldron) involved, directing and producing.

    I think The Fox and the Hound is the more substantial of these both as a movie and as a crux point in the studio's history. The creative diaspora that emerged from the misery of its production basically changed the entire face of American animation forever. Dindal worked on both, which is crazy...
