What defines The Fox and the Hound?
The Fox and the Hound is a 1981 animated film produced by The Walt Disney Company, directed by Ted Berman, Richard Rich, and Art Stevens. Based on Daniel P. Mannix's novel of the same name, the film follows Tod, an orphaned red fox, and Copper, a hound dog puppy, whose childhood friendship becomes complicated as they grow into their natural roles as predator and prey. Set in rural America, the story features characters including Big Mama the owl, the kindly Widow Tweed, and the determined hunter Amos Slade. The film is part of the Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film series and blends elements of buddy film, coming-of-age drama, and family storytelling.
