The Fox and The Hound

This is one of the greatest movies that I have seen in a long time.  It was a truly heartfelt movie that does not get old.

This movie starts out with a heartfelt scene of a mother fox being hunted down.  The mother leaves her child by a fence post so that it may live while the mother sacrifices herself.  The fox is adopted by an old widowed farmer who names the fox Tod.  Later we meet a hound named copper who was bought by a hunter who lives near the widow’s farm.  Eventually Tod finds his way onto the hunter’s property and meets copper.  This begins an unlikely friendship between a hunting dog and a fox.

Everything is going fine until the hunter goes after Tod.  The widow was able to protect Tod from being turned into a skin by the hunter.  The hunter then takes Copper on a hunting trip to train him.  Tod and Copper have not seen each other for a long time and have grown up.  However, in that time they have changed quite a bit.  Copper has now become a true hunting dog.


These old friends have to learn how to once again become friends.
