AMAZON.COM REVIEWS FOR THE FOX AND THE HOUND (1981): The Fox and the Hound marked the last collaboration between Disney's older artists, including three of the "Nine Old Men" (Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Woolie Reitherman), and the young animators who would make the record-breaking films of the '90s. Based on a book by DanielP. Mannix, the film tells the story of a bloodhound puppy and a fox kit whobegin as friends but are forced to become enemies. Tod and Copper barelyestablish their friendship before Copper begins his training as hunting dog. Unfortunately, neither character develops much of a personality, whichmakes it difficult to care about them. The screen comes alive near end of thefilm, when Tod and Copper have to join forces to fight off an enormous bear. It had been years since Disneyproduced a sequence with this kind of feral power--and years would pass before they surpassed it. The Fox and the Hound ranks as one of the studio'slesser efforts, but it suggests that better films were soon to follow. (Ages 5 and older)--Charles Solomon
