Though Disney are these days intent on slapping the "Classics" tag on seemingly everything they produce, 'The Fox and the Hound' doesn't really fit the bill. It's memorable predominantly because it marked a behind-the-scenes watershed between old faces and new staff at Walt's place, rather than any great examples of animation or story-telling.

Many of the good folks who went on to create vastly-superior flicks such as 'Aladdin',

DVD Extras: A half-decent featurette titled 'Pass the Baton', a below-par 'Best of Friends' sing-a-long section, and a stills scrapbook. Extras: 4 out of 10

It's Got: A typically impressive array of voice-over talents, including Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russell and a 10-year-old Corey Feldman.

It Needs: To dump the distinctly tuneless sing-a-long numbers. Only the one instance of get-away music saves the score from complete failure!

Alternatives: The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Piglet's Big Movie

Summary: An inoffensive but also largely unimpressive woodland adventure. Strictly for the little 'uns. Overall Score: 4 out of 10

Wonderful classic, with great animation, characters well brought out, and end movie excitement.
Keep in mind, that this movie was sent to the cinema in 1983.

Don't compare it with Lion King folks. We're in a whole other world.

It's as if you compared Rocket Man with Cast Away.
Comedy with Drama. It's your preference of genre that will interfere with the movie's rightful rating.

If you enjoyed Bambi or Dumbo, then this should be a fine choice.

Any Disney animated movie is intended for children. You're going to have to expect a few crummy songs, especially if you're going to watch an older film.

The plot is simple, and is intended to be. You don't need a highly complicated story line for an animated film.
