It's not a big story, with high stakes, grand adventures and satisfying payoff. It's a rather mellow, down to earth film. Focusing on the relationship between the heroes, the hardships they endure due to their differences. It knows where to tug on the heart strings, making it a rather impactful movie, which easily means it's my most favorite of the Disney animations. Perhaps even animation as a whole. Despite being, ultimately, a rather simple animation.

I never seem to remember 'The Fox and the Hound' all that fondly, but it certainly is a good film from 1980s Disney. I enjoy the plot and the real variety of characters. Mickey Rooney (Tod) and Kurt Russell (Copper) make for a good pairing, both producing solid stuff in their respective roles. You'd expect that given they're well-known actors. Keith Coogan and Corey Feldman are decent as the aforementioned pair's younger versions of Tod and Copper. The rest of the voice cast aren't really that notable, though I do like the characters Amos, Tweed and Chief who keep the story moving; albeit with perhaps underdeveloped motives. Lovely animation, as usual from this studio, and a premise that is kept simple and short. I always recall this to be less enjoyable - it deserves respect, definitely more than I give it myself.

I remember watching this a lot as a little kid and thought it was the best. It's not the best but it is still good. The music is great. I totally didn't realize Copper was voiced by Kurt Russell.
