Passing the Baton: A look behind the scenes of the film where the nine old men pass the mantle of animation onto the next generation, and it's too short!
The Fox and the Hound is, in my book, THE greatest Disney film ever made, not just of the Disney Animation Studios but Disney in general and it ignited my affinity for foxes. It so deserves to be re-released to theaters, in fact, Disney should do theatrical re-releases of all their animated films, not just the princess ones.
I cried watching this the night before my graduation. I remembered all my friends when Best of friends played. It proves how eventhough people take different paths, they're still gonna be remembered by their memories
This is one of my favorite disney animated movies. It kinda reminds me of my realtionship with my best friends. It really teaches us all that friendship can last forever.
0:10 "Disney's 24th animated feature." Fun fact: At the time of its release it was actually the 25th animated feature. There was even a whole short before the film celebrating that fact. But the new managers at Disney re-numbered all the animated features and it became the 24th.
So surreal that the young animators starting out then- John Musker, Ron Clements, Glen Keane, Tim Burton, Brad Bird, John Lasseter, Henry Selick, Randy Cartwright, etc., are now considered the "new" old guard.
CGI is art (frozen, tangled, etc). It still takes a team to design, color, and sketch everything out. Hand drawn will always be on top, but don't disregard other styles just because you lack common sense.
Definitely one of the most underrated Disney movies. I was a little too young to really appreciate it when I was a kid. But now, it's one of my favorites.
I remember this movie. My favorite character in the movie is Big Mama the owl. You can see Tod along with herself and Widow Tweed on limited gold edition.
A more in-depth special about the making of The Fox and the Hound is long overdue. There needs to be interviews with Kurt Russell and director Richard Rich, as well as discussion on how Don Bluth and Gary Goldman famously quit the movie during this so-called "transition period" because they thought Disney had become a sellout studio. In spite of all of that, however, this film turned out pretty great.
I know this is qutie a while ago, but it's still a bit sad to hear about Frank and Ollie finally leaving the Disney studio after been working their sence "Snow White" and passing on their knowlege and advise for Walt Disney himself and more to the new genarations of animators
Yes, it would be great if Tim Burton were interviewed, as well as the other legends who worked on the movie: John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Henry Selick, Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and director Rick Rich. The reason why none of them want to do interviews about this subject is because the production of The Fox and the Hound was famously troubled for everyone involved.
If you'd like to see footage of a young Tim Burton working on The Fox and the Hound back in 1980, look up "The History of the Fox and the Hound" on RUclips.
I used to watch it all the time when I was little, and Chief is my absolute favorite character. I LOVE this movie, and no matter how many times I watch I'll never get tired of it. I was very glad they didn't kill Chief off like in the book, but now I think it would have made the film a lot stronger if he had died. But that aside; this film is my most treasured film of all the films I watched as a child! I wish that this video was a lot longer, though like the one with Bambi.
This is the only Disney movie that makes me cry since the beginning to the ending , above all the song “ best of friends “ cause reminds my only and best friend who lives far away with no contact with him since 8 or 9 years ago and still I’m waiting his answer ( he is invalid ) :’(
the story is so sad,, and its so true, how people grow apart, and yes sometimes forced apart because of society, and i have seen it first hand , and , kids, just dont know, its reality.
I’d still like to see a theatrical version of the original book, but I dunno I’d still want to see it be a bit more lighter than the pit of darkness Mannix wrote
John Musker & Ron Clements are my favourite movie directors! They have done some of the best movies I ever seeing, like Aladdin, Hercules, Little Mermaid or Treasure Planet!
I too wonder how the film would have been if they had decided to kill off Chief instead. That would actually make Copper's motive for vengeance more extreme. Although the reason behind the change feels rather strange; back then they were against killing a character in a Disney film (especially after BAMBI). And yet rather ironically, in this film we not only get Tod's mother, but a monstrous bear (at the finale) are both killed at the start and end, respectively. Go figure.
For a more in-depth examination of how The Fox and the Hound was made, type "The History of the Fox and the Hound" into RUclips. It goes into detail about all aspects of the production, including the filmmakers' debates over whether or not to kill off Chief.
I really love this movie and I think its a real pity that Disney doesn't give it more credit or merchandise. I would really love to see an real behind the scenes documentary about it or some more merchandise.
I remember some of these people. This person worked on The magic carpet in Aladdin. Another gentleman worked on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast and Pocohontas.
I really wish that they would make a Fox and the Hound 3, based on Vixey. Since Vixey is a late major character with a shrouded history and a snip-it of information of her background, another movie spanning her as a cub (about Tods age in the beginning of the movie) all the way to the moment she and Tod really became attached, a prequel based solely for her would be excellent. If you think this is a good thing to go for, copy and paste this onto other videos regarding The Fox and the Hound
Yeah. This movie began the 80's for me... as they SHOULD have been... of course, seeing it in theatre on first release, it was clear there were MAJOR problems, you could sense the vanishing of Frank & Ollie (whose book, Disney Animation, the Illusion of Life, had just come out...) overall, though, it was just the most effortless bit of modern-day Americana. The 500-lb. elephant in the room was Don Bluth and the fact that his mega-talented crew ALSO exited the studio at this point... something this mini-doc says nothing about. Ultimately... like the 80's themselves... it was a series of good ideas, mostly killed by politics. What a breath of fresh air, though, as a young teen, viewing it & thinking how much BETTER the decade would get in the years to come... how we'd iron out the kinks & it'd all be OK... IF ONLY! (brace yourselves for some turbulence, we're making an emergency landing in The Black Cauldron, 1985!)
I once tried to interview Don Bluth and Gary Goldman about the making of this movie. They replied, "We've decided not to chime in on The Fox and the Hound." They're well-aware of all the enemies they made at the studio when they quit the production.

I love the fox and the hound because I watched it like 6 times and I gosh how much I loved it and I have the VHS version of it but this one thing I do not like was when they the sequel of it. That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen but it's never better than the first one.
plz iam Begging you Disney plz make a rerelase 🙏😭 the Second one is not the same and not good even. like the original Fox and hound was he even successful
This film broke through the stigma of racism in all kids who watched it pre 90's. Today racism is coming back with a vengeance because there's no strong lesson to connect the kids to reality. Sure you have your leftist mindset that militantly tells people not to be racist OR ELSE. The days of actually seeing no color at all in a natural light as Disney showed in this film are nearly non-existent. Now you hear someone say "I have friends" nobody believes you. Back then, "I have friends" meant something.

This film never ceases to make me cry... Especially when the old lady leaves Tod behind... Childhood memories...

@Podcast - SørenCast Z I agree. Robin Hood also deserves to be re-released, that's the movie that turned me into a furry!

"Tod, those days are over, I'm a hunting dog now." Gosh that smarts!
I know right
That scene breaks my heart every time 🥺

This is and will always be pure art. Not like now, CGI . Laziness
CGI is art (frozen, tangled, etc). It still takes a team to design, color, and sketch everything out. Hand drawn will always be on top, but don't disregard other styles just because you lack common sense.
Bless you Frank and Ollie, bless the 9 Old Men. Thanks gentlemen for all the joy!
i cry everytime, i haven't been able to make it through this film without doing it yet
It's hard for us not to cry
Definitely one of the most underrated Disney movies. I was a little too young to really appreciate it when I was a kid. But now, it's one of my favorites.
this is sad, makes me wanna cry watching their friendship transition
I remember this movie. My favorite character in the movie is Big Mama the owl. You can see Tod along with herself and Widow Tweed on limited gold edition.
Trivia randy Cartwright is the father of animator Mariel Cartwright the girl who animated skullgirls

+adamzanzie I agree, yes as Mickey Rooney and Kurt Russell sounded just great as the Fox and the Hound when they were all grown up.

Also Tim Burton and Brad bird

Closing To Elmo's World 2000 VHS
This Disney movie isn't an academy award winner but it's found on both Disney sing along songs friend like me and Disney Plus.
I was expecting to see Tim Burton here, He was one of the animators for Fox and the Hound.

@@adamzanzie the animation always give everyone trouble. It was never easy back then and frustrating.
The part of the movie that scared me was the giant bear
I used to watch it all the time when I was little, and Chief is my absolute favorite character. I LOVE this movie, and no matter how many times I watch I'll never get tired of it. I was very glad they didn't kill Chief off like in the book, but now I think it would have made the film a lot stronger if he had died.

Raiders of the Lost Ark overshadowed this film when it came out.
It's awesome to find out more about our staying "best of friends" farm buddies, and personality-presenting animator.🎯🐶🦊🐻🏠🌳🌄 Stay safe everyone!

Seriously who needs merchandise for appreciating a very good movie
@@princephillip9572Alright, fair enough. But I've always liked to see merchandise for my favorite movies. Nuff said
@@EmmanuelleLunada2010 Disney+ has todd and copper as profile pic selections if that’s not Disney giving it recognition then I don’t know what is
@@Jinaria101 Alright, fair enough.

perhaps an extension of the 1st one, picking up after the ending?

Estonia* Sorry pressed enter on wrong place
This is very interesting stuff, but I notice they don't mention the departure of Don Bluth.
