'''''The Fox and the Hound''''' is a 1981 American [[animated film]] produced by [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Productions]] and loosely based on the [[The Fox and the Hound (novel)|1967 novel of the same name]] by [[Daniel P. Mannix]]. The 24th [[List of Walt Disney Animation Studios films|Disney animated feature film]], the film tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a [[red fox]] named Tod and a [[hound]] dog named Copper. The two friends struggle to preserve their friendship despite their emerging instincts and the surrounding social pressures demanding them to be adversaries, as they are [[law of the jungle|enemies by nature]]. After Chief, Copper's mentor and guardian who is owned by the same hunter who owns Copper, is hit by a train while chasing Tod and seemingly almost dies, Copper assumes his role as a hunting dog and vows vengeance against Tod. Eventually, the two former friends fight each other, but in the end, Copper saves Tod after Tod saves Copper and his owner from a bear.

''The Fox and the Hound'' entered development in 1977. The film marked the last involvement of the remaining members of [[Disney's Nine Old Men]], including Disney legends [[Frank Thomas (animator)|Frank Thomas]] and [[Ollie Johnston]], who had involvement in early development of the film, but ultimately handed development over to a new generation of animators following the retirement of the old animators. As such, ''The Fox and the Hound'' was also the first film for future Disney leaders like [[Tim Burton]], [[Brad Bird]], [[John Lasseter]], and [[Glen Keane]]. During production, the film's release was delayed by over six months following the abrupt departure of [[Don Bluth]] and his team of animators. Further concerns were raised over the handling of the scene in which Chief is hit by a train, which was controversially changed from his death into a non-fatal injury in which he merely suffered a broken leg. The film was directed by [[Ted Berman]], [[Richard Rich (filmmaker)|Richard Rich]], and [[Art Stevens]], marking the [[list of directorial debuts|directorial debuts]] of Berman and Rich. It was produced by [[Ron W. Miller|Ron Miller]], [[Wolfgang Reitherman]], and Art Stevens. The [[ensemble cast|ensemble]] voice cast consists of [[Mickey Rooney]] and [[Kurt Russell]] as Tod and Copper, respectively, with [[Pearl Bailey]], [[Jack Albertson]], [[Sandy Duncan]], [[Jeanette Nolan]], [[Pat Buttram]], [[John Fiedler]], [[John McIntire]], [[Richard Bakalyan|Dick Bakalyan]], [[Paul Winchell]], [[Keith Coogan|Keith Mitchell]], and [[Corey Feldman]] providing the voices of the other characters of the film. Mitchell and Feldman in particular voiced the young Tod and the young Copper. The [[film score|instrumental musical score to the film]] was composed and conducted by [[Buddy Baker (composer)|Buddy Baker]], with Walter Sheets performing the orchestration.

''The Fox and the Hound'' was released to theaters on July 10, 1981 by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures|Buena Vista Distribution]]. The film was a financial success, becoming the 14th highest-grossing film of the year, but it initially received mixed reviews from critics. The critics praised the animation and voice acting of the film, but believed that the film was not groundbreaking enough. Over time, however, the film became known as an underrated classic, and it was nominated for three awards, of which it won one. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive animated film produced to date, costing $12 million.<ref name="Newsweek" /> It was re-released to theaters on March 25, 1988.<ref name="D23" /> An intermediate followup, ''[[The Fox and the Hound 2]]'', was released [[direct-to-video|directly-to-DVD]] on December 12, 2006.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for feature film articles should be between 400 and 700 words in length. Current word count is 600 words. -->
After a young red fox is orphaned, Big Mama the [[owl]] and her friends Dinky the [[finch]] and Boomer the [[woodpecker]], arrange for him to be adopted by kindly farmer Widow Tweed, who names him Tod. Meanwhile, Tweed's neighbor, hunter Amos Slade, brings home a young hound puppy named Copper and introduces him to his hunting dog Chief. One day, Tod and Copper meet and become best friends, pledging eternal friendship. Slade grows frustrated at Copper for constantly wandering off to play, and places him on a leash. While playing with Copper outside his [[doghouse]], Tod awakens Chief. Slade and Chief chase Tod until they are stopped by Tweed. After an argument, Slade threatens to kill Tod if he trespasses on his farm again. Hunting season comes and Slade takes his dogs into the wilderness for the interim. Meanwhile, Big Mama, Dinky, and Boomer attempt to explain to Tod that he and Copper will become bitter enemies. In denial, Tod naively refuses to believe them, hoping that he and Copper will remain friends forever.

The following spring, Tod and Copper reach adulthood. Copper returns as an expert hunting dog, who is expected to track down foxes. During the night, Tod sneaks over to talk to Copper. Copper warns Tod that Chief will hunt him down if awakened by their conversation, and Chief indeed is awakened. Chief alerts Slade and a chase ensues in which Copper catches Tod. Copper lets Tod go while diverting Slade, while Tod attempts an escape on a [[railroad track]]. Chief, however catches Tod and gives chase, but an oncoming train strikes Chief. Chief falls into the river below, breaking his leg. Enraged by this, Copper and Slade blame Tod for the accident and vow vengeance. Realizing Tod is no longer safe with her, Tweed leaves him at a [[game preserve]].

Tod's first night alone in the woods proves disastrous, as he inadvertently trespasses into an irritable old badger's den. Thankfully, a friendly porcupine offers Tod shelter. That same night, Slade and Copper plan to [[poaching|poach]] Tod. The next morning, Big Mama finds Tod and introduces him to a female fox named Vixey, who helps Tod adapt to life in the forest.

Meanwhile, Slade and Copper trespass into the preserve to hunt Tod. As Tod manages to escape Slade's [[trapping#Leg-hold traps|leghold traps]], Copper and Slade pursue both foxes. They hide in their burrow while Slade tries trapping them by setting fire to its entrance. The foxes narrowly escape the burning burrow as Slade and Copper chase them up the top of a hill until they reach a [[waterfall]]. There, Slade and Copper close in for the kill, but a large bear emerges and attacks Slade. Slade trips and falls into one of his own traps, dropping his gun slightly out of reach. Copper attempts to fight the bear but is no match for it. Not willing to let his former friend die, Tod intervenes and fights the bear until they both fall down the waterfall.

With the bear gone, a bewildered Copper approaches Tod as he lies exhausted near the bank of a waterfall-created lake. When Slade appears, Copper positions himself in front of Tod to prevent Slade from shooting him, refusing to move away. Slade lowers his gun and leaves with Copper. Tod and Copper share one last smile before parting. At home, Tweed nurses Slade back to health while Chief and Copper rest. Copper, before going to sleep, smiles as he remembers the day when he first met Tod. On a hill, Vixey joins Tod as they look down on the homes of Slade and Tweed.

==Production==
===Development===
In May 1967, shortly before ''The Fox and the Hound'' won the [[Dutton Animal Book Award]], it was reported that [[Walt Disney Productions]] had obtained the film rights to the novel.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1967/05/20/archives/dutton-animal-award-goes-to-mannix-book-set-for-fall.html|title=Dutton Animal Award Goes To Mannix Book Set for Fall |work=[[The New York Times]]|date=May 20, 1967|accessdate=April 9, 2020|page=33}}</ref> In spring 1977, development began on the project after [[Wolfgang Reitherman]] had read the original novel and decided that it would make for a good animated feature as one of his sons had once owned a pet fox years before.<ref name=D23>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906033347/https://d23.com/a-to-z/fox-and-the-hound-the-film/|url=http://d23.com/a-to-z/fox-and-the-hound-the-film/|title=Fox and the Hound, The (film)|work=[[D23 (Disney)|D23]]|publisher=[[Disney.com]]|archive-date=September 6, 2015|access-date=August 11, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|first=John|last=Grant|title=The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters: From Mickey Mouse to Hercules|page=306|publisher=Disney Editions|isbn=978-0-7868-6336-5|date=April 30, 1998}}</ref> The title was initially reported as ''The Fox and the Hounds'',<ref>{{cite news|title=A new generation of animators is taking over at Disney studios|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/34595434/the_baltimore_sun/|newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|page=B4|date=July 19, 1977|accessdate=July 31, 2018|via=[[Newspapers.com]]}} {{Open access}}</ref> but the filmmakers dropped the plural as the story began to focus more and more on the two leads.{{sfn|Koenig|1997|p=167}} Reitherman was the film's original director along with [[Art Stevens]] as co-director. A power struggle between the two directors and co-producer [[Ron W. Miller|Ron Miller]] broke out over key sections of the film with Miller supporting the younger Stevens. Miller instructed Reitherman to surrender reins over to the junior personnel,{{sfn|Hulett|2014|p=33}} but Reitherman resisted due to a lack of trust in the young animators.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=86}}

In an earlier version of the film, Chief was slated to die as he did in the novel. However, the scene was modified to have Chief survive with a cast on his back paw. Animator [[Ron Clements]], who had briefly transitioned into the story department, protested that "Chief has to die. The picture doesn't work if he just breaks his leg. Copper doesn't have motivation to hate the fox." Likewise, younger members of the story team pleaded with Stevens to have Chief killed. Stevens countered that "Geez, we never killed a main character in a Disney film and we're not starting now!" The younger crew members took the problem to upper management who would also back Stevens.{{sfn|Hulett|2014|p=39}} Ollie Johnston's test animation of Chief stomping around the house with his leg in a cast was eventually kept, and [[Randy Cartwright]] re-animated the scene where Copper finds Chief's body and had him animate Chief's eyes opening and closing so the audience knew that he was not dead.<ref name="sito" />

Another fight erupted when Reitherman, in thinking the film lacked a strong second act, decided to add a musical sequence of two swooping cranes voiced by [[Phil Harris]] and [[Charo]] who would sing a silly song titled "Scoobie-Doobie Doobie Doo, Let Your Body Turn Goo" to Tod after he was dropped in the forest. Charo had recorded the song and voice tracks which were storyboarded,{{sfn|Koenig|1997|p=168}} and live-action reference footage was shot of her in a sweaty pink [[leotard]]. However, the scene was strongly disliked by studio personnel who felt the song was a distraction from the main plot with Stevens stating "We can't let that sequence in the movie! It's totally out of place!"{{sfn|Hulett|2014|p=34}} Stevens notified studio management and after many story conferences, the scene was removed. Reitherman later walked into Stevens's office, slumped in a chair, and said, "I dunno, Art, maybe this is a young man's medium." He later moved on to undeveloped projects such as ''Catfish Bend'' and died in a car accident in 1985.{{sfn|Sito|2006|p=289}}

===Animation===
By late 1978, [[Frank Thomas (animator)|Frank Thomas]], [[Ollie Johnston]], and Cliff Nordberg had completed their animation. Thomas had animated scenes of Tod and Copper using dialogue Larry Clemmons had written and recorded with the child actors.{{sfn|Sito|2006|p=298}} This project would mark the last film to have the involvement of [[Disney's Nine Old Men]] who had retired early during production,<ref name="cataroo">{{cite web|url=http://www.cataroo.com/DBfoxhnd.html|last=Cowley|first=John|title=Don Bluth The Disney Years: Fox and Hound|publisher=Cataroo|access-date=May 4, 2016}}</ref> and animation was turned over the next generation of directors and animators, which included [[John Lasseter]], [[John Musker]], [[Ron Clements]], [[Glen Keane]], [[Tim Burton]], [[Brad Bird]], [[Henry Selick]], [[Chris Buck]], [[Mike Gabriel]], and [[Mark Dindal]], all of whom would finalize the animation and complete the film's production. These animators had moved through the in-house animation training program, and would play an important role in the [[Disney Renaissance]] of the 1980s and 1990s.<ref name=finch>{{cite book|last=Finch|first=Christopher|title=The Art of Walt Disney: From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdom|chapter=The End of an Era|publisher=[[Abrams Books|Harry N. Abrams]]|isbn=978-0810998148|pages=260–66|year=1973|edition=2004|title-link=The Art of Walt Disney}}</ref>

However, the transition between the old guard and the new resulted in arguments over how to handle the film. Reitherman had his own ideas on the designs and layouts that should be used, but the newer team backed Stevens. Animator [[Don Bluth]] animated several scenes including of Widow Tweed milking her cow, Abigail, while his team worked on the rest of the sequence, and when Tweed fires at Amos Slade's automobile. Nevertheless, Bluth and the new animators felt that Reitherman was too stern and out of touch,{{sfn|Koenig|1997|p=168}} and on his 42nd birthday, September 13, 1979, Bluth, along with Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy, entered Ron Miller's office, and they turned in their resignations. Soon after, 13 more animators followed suit in turning in their resignations. Though Bluth and his team had animated substantial scenes, they asked not to receive screen credit.<ref name="cataroo" />

With those animators now gone,<ref name="D23" /> Miller ordered all of the resigning animators off the studio lot by noon of that same day and would later push the release of ''The Fox and the Hound'' from Christmas 1980 to summer 1981. New animators were hired and promoted to fill the ranks. To compensate for the lack of experience of the new animators, much of the quality control would rely upon a corp of veteran assistant animators.{{sfn|Sito|2006|p=290}}<ref name="sito">{{cite web|url=http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.8/3.8pages/3.8sitofox.html|last=Sito|first=Tom|authorlink=Tom Sito|title=Disney's ''The Fox and the Hound'': The Coming of the Next Generation|work=[[Animation World Magazine]]|date=November 1998|access-date=May 4, 2016}}</ref> Four years after production started, the film was finished with approximately 360,000 drawings, 110,000 painted cels and 1,100 painted backgrounds making up the finished product. A total of 180 people, including 24 animators, worked on the film.<ref name="D23" />

===Casting===
Early into production, the principal characters such as young Tod and Copper, Big Mama, and Amos Slade had already been cast. The supporting characters were cast by Disney voice regulars including [[Pat Buttram]] for Chief, [[Paul Winchell]] for Boomer, and [[Mickey Rooney]], who had just finished filming ''[[Pete's Dragon (1977 film)|Pete's Dragon]]'', for adult Tod. [[Jeanette Nolan]] was the second choice for Widow Tweed after [[Helen Hayes]] turned down the part.{{sfn|Hulett|2014|p=35}} The last role to be cast was for adult Copper. [[Jackie Cooper]] had auditioned for the role, but left the project when he demanded more money than the studio was willing to pay. While filming the ''[[Elvis (1979 film)|Elvis]]'' television film, former Disney child actor [[Kurt Russell]] was cast following a reading that had impressed the filmmakers, and completed his dialogue in two recording sessions.{{sfn|Hulett|2014|p=37}}

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
====Contemporary reviews====
[[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' claimed that the film "breaks no new ground whatsoever", while describing it as "a pretty, relentlessly cheery, old-fashioned sort of Disney cartoon feature, chock-full of bouncy songs of an upbeatness that is stickier than Krazy-Glue and played by animals more anthropomorphic than the humans that occasionally appear." Finally, he said that, "Like all Disney features, ''The Fox and the Hound'' is rather overstuffed with whimsy and folksy dialogue. It also possesses a climax that could very well scare the daylights out of the smaller tykes in the audience, though all ends well. Parents who don't relish chaperoning their tykes to see the movie, but find they must anyway, can take heart in the knowledge that the running time is 83 minutes. That's about as short as you can get these days."<ref>{{cite news|last=Canby|first=Vincent|title=Film: Old-Style Disney|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/10/movies/old-style-disney.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=July 10, 1981|access-date=January 24, 2020}}</ref> [[Sheila Benson]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' praised the animation, but criticized the story for playing it too safe. She acknowledged that the writers were "protecting us from important stuff: from rage, from pain, from loss. By these lies, done for our own good, of course, they also limit the growth that is possible."<ref>{{cite news|last=Benson|first=Sheila|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/387463783|title='Fox, Hound' Cuts No Corners|url-access=subscription|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=July 10, 1981|access-date=February 7, 2020|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> [[David Ansen]] of ''[[Newsweek]]'' stated that "Adults may wince at some of the sticky-sweet songs, but the movie is not intended for grownups."<ref name="Newsweek" />

[[Richard Corliss]] of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' praised the film for an intelligent story about [[prejudice]]. He argued that the film shows that biased attitudes can poison even the deepest relationships, and the film's bittersweet ending delivers a powerful and important [[moral]] message to audiences.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Corliss|first=Richard|authorlink=Richard Corliss|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,954873,00.html|title=Cinema: The New Generation Comes of Age|url-access=subscription|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|volume=118|issue=3|date=July 20, 1981}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' also praised the film, saying that "for all of its familiar qualities, this movie marks something of a departure for the Disney studio, and its movement is in an interesting direction. ''The Fox and the Hound'' is one of those relatively rare Disney animated features that contains a useful lesson for its younger audiences. It's not just cute animals and frightening adventures and a happy ending; it's also a rather thoughtful meditation on how society determines our behavior."<ref>{{cite news|last=Ebert|first=Roger|authorlink=Roger Ebert|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-fox-and-the-hound-1981|title=The Fox and the Hound Movie Review (1981)|publisher=RogerEbert.com|date=July 1981|access-date=May 4, 2016}}</ref>

====Retrospective reviews====
''[[TV Guide]]'' gave the film four out of five stars, saying that "The animation here is better than average (veteran Disney animators Wolfgang Reitherman and Art Stevens supervised the talents of a new crop of artists that developed during a 10-year program at the studio), though not quite up to the quality of Disney Studios in its heyday. Still, this film has a lot of "heart" and is wonderful entertainment for both kids and their parents. Listen for a number of favorites among the voices."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.tvguide.com/the-fox-and-the-hound/review/123697|title=The Fox And The Hound: Review|website=TV Guide|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|access-date=August 7, 2015}}</ref> Michael Scheinfeld of [[Common Sense Media]] gave the film's quality a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, stating that the film "develops into a thoughtful examination of friendship and includes some mature themes, especially loss."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Fox and the Hound Movie Review|url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-fox-and-the-hound|author=Michael Scheinfeld|website=Common Sense Media|access-date=August 10, 2016|date=June 15, 2010}}</ref>

In ''The Animated Movie Guide'', [[Jerry Beck]] considered the film "average", though he praises the voice work of Pearl Bailey as Big Mama, and the extreme dedication to detail shown by animator [[Glen Keane]] in crafting the fight scene between Copper, Tod, and the bear.{{sfn|Beck|2005|p=87}} In his book ''The Disney Films'', [[Leonard Maltin]] also notes that the fight scene between Copper, Tod, and the bear received great praise in the animation world.

En ''The Animated Movie Guide'', Jerry Beck va considerar la pel·lícula "mitjana", encara que elogia el treball de veu de Pearl Bailey com Big Mama, i l'extremada dedicació al detall mostrat per l'animador Glen Keane en l'elaboració de l'escena de la lluita entre Copper, Tod, i l'ós.<ref name="Animated Movie Guide" /> En el seu llibre "The Disney Films", Leonard Maltin també assenyala que l'escena de la baralla entre Copper, Tod, i l'ós rebut grans elogis en el món de l'animació. No obstant això, Maltin va sentir que la pel·lícula es va basar massa en "formula cuteness, formula comedy relief, and even formula characterizations".<ref>{{ref-llibre|cognom=Maltin|nom=Leonard|enllaçautor=Leonard Maltin|capítol=Chapter 3: Without Walt|pàgina=275|títol=The Disney Films|any=2000|llengua=anglès|editorial=Disney Editions|isbn=978-0786885275}}</ref> En general, va considerar que la pel·lícula "encantadora" afirmava que era "càlid i replet de personatges personals" i que "s'apropa a l'antiga màgia de Disney a vegades."<ref>{{ref-llibre|cognom=Maltin|nom=Leonard|enllaçautor=Leonard Maltin|títol=Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide|any=2010|pàgina=490|isbn=0-451-22764-6}}</ref>


''[[The New York Times]]'' comentà que la pel·lícula no oferia res de nou, i la va descriure com bonica i plena de cançons dinàmiques i alegres interpretades per animals més antropomòrfics que els humans que hi apareixen ocasionalment, i que la cinta estava, com totes les pel·lícules Disney, saturada de diàlegs fantasiosos i rústecs.<ref>{{ref-web|cognom=Canby|nom=Vincent|títol=OLD STYLE DISNEY|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/10/movies/old-style-disney.html|editor=''The New York Times''}}</ref> ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' criticà a la pel·lícula per ser massa llarga, mentre que ''[[Newsweek]]'' ho va fer amb el comentari que no era una pel·lícula feta per a una audiència adulta.<ref name="catarooDB" />
==Followup==
{{Main|The Fox and the Hound 2}}
An intermediate followup, ''The Fox and the Hound 2'', was released directly-to-DVD on December 12, 2006. The followup takes place during the youth of Tod and Copper, before the events of the later half of the first film. The story-line involves Copper being tempted to join a band of singing [[stray dog]]s called "The Singin' Strays", thus threatening his friendship with Tod. The followup was critically panned, with critics calling it a pale imitation of its predecessor.


''The Fox and the Hound'' va guanyar un gran seguiment i va ser guardonat amb un premi Goldene Leinwand el 1982. També va ser nominat per un [[Premi Jove Artista]] i [[Premi Saturn]] a la millor pel·lícula de fantasia.<ref name="imdb">{{ref-web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082406/awards?ref_=tt_awd|títol=The Fox and the Hound - Awards|editor=[[Internet Movie Database]]}}</ref>

The Fox and the Hound (literalment en català: La guineu i el gos de caça) és una pel·lícula d'animació estatunidenca de 1981, produïda per Walt Disney Productions i basada lliurement en la novel·la homònima escrita per Daniel P. Mannix. La pel·lícula explica la història de dos amics improbables, una guineu roja anomenada Tod i un gos de caça anomenat Copper, que hauran de lluitar contra llurs propis instints i contra la societat que els envolta i els enfronta, per a conservar llur amistat. Dirigida per Ted Berman, Richard Rich, i Art Stevens, la versió original en anglès de la pel·lícula inclou les veus de Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russell, Jack Albertson, i Corey Feldman, entre d'altres.

En el moment de l'estrena, era la pel·lícula d'animació més cara produïda fins a la data, amb un cost de 12 milions de dòlars.[1] El 2006 es va estrenar una seqüela, publicada directament en DVD: The Fox and the Hound 2.

Argument

La pel·lícula tracta sobre la relació de dos animals, una guineu roja anomenada Tod i un gos anomenat Copper, els quals entaulen una forta amistat sent petits. En Copper és d'una raça de gos caçador i el seu amo el porta de caça durant una temporada per a ensinistrar-lo; així creix com un feroç caçador de guineus i oblida el seu amic de la infància. Després de l'entrenament, ja gran, torna i és obligat a ser enemic d'en Tod. Però en Tod no ha oblidat el seu amic i malgrat que en Copper el persegueix, acaba defensant-lo quan el veu en perill.

Producció

La producció de The Fox and the Hound va començar el 1977.[3] La pel·lícula va tenir una de les produccions més difícils en la història dels llarmetratges animats de l'estudi. Va ser l'última pel·lícula en la qual van treballar llegendes de l'animació com Frank Thomas i Ollie Johnston i on van fer llurs primeres passes animadors reconeguts com Glen Keane, que més tard s'encarregaria d'altres personatges animats en futures pel·lícules com The Little Mermaid (1989) i Pocahontas (1995). Com els animadors veterans de Disney havien mort o aconseguit sumi edat de retir, la pel·lícula va marcar l'últim treball de la resta dels animadors originals. El projecte comptava majorment amb la participació de novells a l'animació que l'estudi havia reclutat durant la dècada del 1970.[4]

Durant la producció de The Fox and the Hound, l'estudi va patir el robatori de gran part del material elaborat per a la pel·lícula i van haver de recomençar gairebé des del principi.[5]

En The Animated Movie Guide, Jerry Beck va considerar la pel·lícula "mitjana", encara que elogia el treball de veu de Pearl Bailey com Big Mama, i l'extremada dedicació al detall mostrat per l'animador Glen Keane en l'elaboració de l'escena de la lluita entre Copper, Tod, i l'ós.[4] En el seu llibre "The Disney Films", Leonard Maltin també assenyala que l'escena de la baralla entre Copper, Tod, i l'ós rebut grans elogis en el món de l'animació. No obstant això, Maltin va sentir que la pel·lícula es va basar massa en "formula cuteness, formula comedy relief, and even formula characterizations".[6] En general, va considerar que la pel·lícula "encantadora" afirmava que era "càlid i replet de personatges personals" i que "s'apropa a l'antiga màgia de Disney a vegades."[7]

The New York Times comentà que la pel·lícula no oferia res de nou, i la va descriure com bonica i plena de cançons dinàmiques i alegres interpretades per animals més antropomòrfics que els humans que hi apareixen ocasionalment, i que la cinta estava, com totes les pel·lícules Disney, saturada de diàlegs fantasiosos i rústecs.[8] Los Angeles Times criticà a la pel·lícula per ser massa llarga, mentre que Newsweek ho va fer amb el comentari que no era una pel·lícula feta per a una audiència adulta.[5]

The Fox and the Hound va guanyar un gran seguiment i va ser guardonat amb un premi Goldene Leinwand el 1982. També va ser nominat per un Premi Jove Artista i Premi Saturn a la millor pel·lícula de fantasia.[9]
