Top 10 Moments from The Fox and the Hound (1981)
An now we take a look back at some of the memorable moments from the first Disney animated movie of the 1980 decade The Fox and The Hound that follows the journey of a fox and a hound dog who become best friends as kids and then become enemies into adulthood.
Todd and Coppers first meeting that would spark a unlikely friendship until they are pitted against each other into adulthood.
Ooh, childhood memories.
This moment is so cute, I used to love it as a kid!
Amos Slade, I know you can live here on Earth, just so long as you take good care of the animals and their habitats instead of trying to destroy them all. The only ones who really belong here are the animals. All the rest of us have in common is our dream of a better life. All we got in common is planet Earth.
Copper, it's just because Amos treats you like his pet doesn't mean you are. The thing that matters most is what you think of yourself. Don't take that hunter's advice, be a good dog. Forest animals are part of life on Earth. Maybe it's time to start following your heart.
Amos Slade, if you insist on hunting, that giant grizzly bear will fight to the last creature. There is nothing to be gained, but much to be lost for all of us. There are many voices around you, but you must listen to your own voice. Soften your heart, remember your mother
Very intense scene as Todd and Copper now grown up and are forced to be enemies in this scene while Vixey flees Todd stays behind to fend off his former best friend Copper in a vicious stand off, upon seeing this its hard to believe these two were ever the best of friends.
Todd tries to say goodbye to Copper before he, Amos and Chief leave for their hunting trip but misses them, as they leave Big Mama tells him the cold hard truth that he and Copper are actually enemies and that Copper is going to grow up to be a trained killer and if Todd continues to pal around with him he's going to end up dead, of course Todd being naive assumes that he and Copper will always be friends at which Big Mama responds "Forever is a very long time, and time has a way of changing people".
Naturally by nature, Big Mama, you think Tod and Copper are supposed to be enemies, but no. They're both part of the canine family. The cold hard truth? I guess you need to keep looking
Despite Big Mama's warnings Todd goes to see Copper anyway and even though he's happy to see him again Copper informs him that shouldn't be here and that their days of them being friends are over which is not what Todd wanted to hear and not long after Chief wakes up alerting Amos to his presence.
After a horrible first day in the wild Big Mama attempts to cheer him up with Vixey a female fox's help which as Tod becomes smitten with her.
