Originally Chief was to be killed by the train and therefore justify Copper’s revenge on Tod. However, for the same reasons as Trusty, the producers decided it would be too intense for kids, so they had Chief survive with a broken leg instead.
Both Tod and the Widow were warned. If he was caught on the property again. But look what happened to Chief. This particular FOX is nothing but trouble.
I blame him for chief getting hit by the train. Also how is Amos/chief supposed to know that Todd isn’t here to eat the chickens? Amos Slade and Chief are just doing what a hunter and his dog are supposed to do. This was also set in an era that is very hard to compare to modern day America.
I literally feel sorry for tod but also chief he was not supposed to be on the rails on a on coming train neither copper it was a mistake for both of them poor ol tod does not deserve it.
You always wonder: Did Copper REALLY blame Tod from a standpoint that he thought Tod pushed Chief or was responsible for the train nonetheless in some way? Chief was already on the tracks waiting because as a great hunting dog, he had the instincts to know it was possible that's where Tod might go. Or does he blame him stemming back to when they were in the yard and he had warned him THREE times to leave for his own safety? OR does he immediately blame himself and passes the blame to Tod? HE decided to let him go... Where Tod had to go to think he could escape is a result of Copper's decision. Could Tod have just gone in the opposite direction back home... sure... but there's of course a reason why he chose the tracks & it wasn't an evil reason. Did his instincts take over and he finally saw all "prey" WAS the enemy like Amos and Chief had been teaching him? One thing we all have to keep in mind: despite their friendship... they were friends for what... a few days? (OK that might be the quick movie timeline, it could have been a bit longer) but think about it: once they went on the hunting trip, it lasted for what? Several months to maybe almost a year? The ONLY beings he's with is Amos and Chief. They're able to teach him and train him and-for lack of a better way to put it- BRAINWASH & BREED him into what they want and need him to be (and what he's destined to be, love it or hate it) but they're also the ones that are PROTECTING him because he's still so young. He without question grows loyal to them and learns his strengths from them. Did he even think about Tod while they were gone? Its obvious Tod thought of Copper.
2:10 Tod should of went the other way where Widow Tweed was looking for him. Then none of this wouldn't have happened from Chief being hit by the train.
Or either then that . Tod should of stayed home instead of getting his hopes to high about seeing Copper because he thought Copper was still is best friend but now since they grown up ? Tod didn't realize their friendship is changed . And Copper warn Tod to leave before Cheif woke up and Tod refused to leave .
@@arikatheprincessofhearts2043 If anything, it's Amos's fault for being so obsessed with hunting down Todd specifically. He could have just knocked on Widow Tweed's door and tell her that her fox was tresspassing on his property again. Nope, his response is always to wipe out his shot gun and shoot the fox who he knows his neighbor is the owner of.
It was todds fault for tresspassing. Any hunter in their right would track him after that, especially in an era without need for tags. Also Amos has chickens, fox's steal and mutilate chickens in reality.
@@oldschoolboxing6048That doesn’t change the fact that he did nothing wrong though. He tried to survive and Amos also tried. Both as good as each other until Amos tries to kill rod on a preserve
Chief was first scripted to die. 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: "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, "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. 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. In the book he actually does die though.

Something that I love in Todd, when he gets emotions, his tail gets too, this is cute to me❤
Love the music
underrated content
this deserves more views
Forgot I made this comment, but I still agree with it. You did really good
Tod literally did nothing wrong...
Dang right
Both Tod and the Widow were warned. If he was caught on the property again. But look what happened to Chief. This particular FOX is nothing but trouble.
Yeah, it was the train that almost killed Chief, not the fox.
It's actually his fault that chief got hit by the train and fell off the track to the river and broke his ankle.
I blame him for chief getting hit by the train. Also how is Amos/chief supposed to know that Todd isn’t here to eat the chickens? Amos Slade and Chief are just doing what a hunter and his dog are supposed to do. This was also set in an era that is very hard to compare to modern day America.
I love the 1980s spy like music during this scene, it really suits Chief.
I literally feel sorry for tod but also chief he was not supposed to be on the rails on a on coming train neither copper it was a mistake for both of them poor ol tod does not deserve it.
The Music reminds me from Scooby-Doo.

Ohh you mean the way they first came from yeahhh 😔😔

I love the fox and the hound
Its not even todds fault lol
Of course not! It's the train's fault!

Of course it’s not.
But you know bad guys; always blaming others instead of acting like adults and taking responsibility!
You are right it is not even Tod's fault.
I'm sure Chief would have lost more than 50% of his health bar. More like, 80-90%.
Tod didn't do nothing wrong!
Agreed
It's Amos Slade's fault because he was the one who sent Chief after Tod.

That train irl would have absoloutly DELETED CHIEF TO NONEXISTENCE, luckily it was a disney movie so that didnt happened
Sorry but think how cool it would be if Disney made a live-action fox and the hound but like the book
@@kylenelson3286 as skeptic as I am about photorealistic animation , an adjustment in the writing of chief’s death will definitely do some justice.
Annoying that Chief didn't died. The Movie almost stops working because of that.

Lmao who did this lol
