This was my favorite movie as a kid, definitely one of my favorites. It always made me cry, it still does. I had a friend as a kid. Met him when I was 5 and going to public school, to kindergarten. We stayed friends until 2nd grade, when we were 7, but him and his family moved back to Japan with no more than one's day notice to the both of us. I was gutted. We stayed in touch and would send each other birthday cards. That went on until I was ten, and I'm not sure if it's because I moved or if he just stopped, but I never heard from him again. I was gutted. And this movie hits a lot of chords with me, as a kid and even more as an adult.
@@gerawallstar3487 Yep! The Great Mouse Detective was a benefit for the studio by saving it from going completely bankrupt after Black Cauldron. That and this film are easily the best of the 80s (before Roger Rabbit and the Little Mermaid started the 90s renaissance). And the best films from the 70s decade of the Disney Dark Age are easily Robin Hood and the compilation of 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'.
6:37 I agree all the way on Vixey. Unlike most other reviewers who diss her for being a love interest. Plus in early concept art she was going to help Tod fight the bear.
this is one of my fav Disney movies i even like it better than the little mermaid and other movies from the renaissance, its funny that my fav disney movies r always the underrated ones lol
3:55 Speaking of one-track mind, Amos is angered over Chief getting hurt but is Amos caring for his injured dog like he should? No. Amos is plotting a revenge that is not only illegal but nearly gets Copper and himself killed
Part of me is saddened that Greatest Showman wasn't chosen, but The Fox and the Hound is a great movie too. I love that you give it the credit it deserves, because it's so often overlooked or people are quick to say it's boring. It's one of Disney's darker movies, and it has a more realistic story to it. Despite it being darker, though, there's something for everyone. Cute animals for the kids, and an interesting story for the adults. It's such an underappreciated movie, and I'm glad to see someone give it some love. :)
I LOVED this film. Theres a lot of realism in this film. It does a really good job balancing out how harsh and racist people are, but also how good people are in society. The fight scene in the end was brilliant. Keep in mind that the reason why Fox and the Hound is overlooked is because it came out durimg the darkest time in Disney, and the production problems did kind of drive people away from this film. Like the absurd decision of making the chief SURVIVE instead of dying. What did you think about the decision of making the chief live, Jambarrequi?
Yes, Chief dying would have been more dramatic and made sense, but it's just as disturbing to see Amos use Chief's minor wound to excuse his illegal trophy hunting, he's that narcissistic.
Back in the day, fur was an important commodity and it was actually fur trappers and "trophy hunters" that first pushed for hunting regulations. That being said, Amos hardly seems to be one of the sportsmen that respects the game though to be fair, from his perspective it seemed the Fox was threatening his livelihood and almost killed his dog
The Fox and the Hound was my VERY first movie, so this movie is really special to me! Did you know in the original book, Copper is actually named Chief, and Chief was named Copper?
This was one of my fav movies as a kid. I liked it more than all the other Disney movies exept Robin Hood. I also think that all characters are written very well and I love that the characters are not one dimensional. At least I also cared for the hunter, because he was very kind and patient with his dogs.
In a way I find it strangely fitting that you should be reviewing the Fox and the Hound specifically for your November episode of Jambareeqi Orange. I don't know why (and maybe it's just me), but this film has always reminded me of autumn somehow. Maybe it's the colour palette. Anyway, this was a really great review, I definitely agree that the Fox and the Hound is very underrated compared to other Disney films, very probably because it's so much darker than the average Disney animated outing. Personally, I really like the film, it's always been one of my favourites and I'm really glad to see you finally review it :)
I just noticed that the porcupine is clearly animated by Don Bluth. Look at it's face and eye structure. This was right around when he was leaving too..
The movie was actually based off of a novel that Disney radically changed the plot to. It was far darker with a more downbeat ending, which Disney changed to a more upbeat, albeit poignant one due to it, well, being a Disney movie. The relationship between Tod and Copper, and Copper and Chief is also very different.
honestly i checked on "rotten tomatoes" "common sense media" and "IMDb" and they all do a good result on this movie, like: 70% rating 4/5 stars and 7.3/10
Out of all the movies that got a direct-to-video sequel, I find The Fox & the Hound to be a baffling choice. I haven't seen the sequel as of writing this comment, but watching this film makes me struggle to understand how a midquel can squeeze into the narrative.
Awesome Fox and the Hound Review Jambareeiq! I enjoy this movie, sure it's not perfect but for what it is, it's really cute charming movie. I like it how it's a Romeo and Juliet love story with friendship not love, the story is a emotional, the animation is okay, the characters are likeable and there a lot good stuff for kids, it's one of Disney's underrated films and it's better then Fox and and the Hound 2! Oh God..... that film was fucking crap! with the whole idea of Tod and Copper joining a dog band.
I'm very curious about how you decide which movies should be reviewed in what way, like, how do you choose which movies should be choices in "Patrons Only" polls for your Jambareeqi Orange playlist, which films get general movie reviews in your playlists of standard reviews, and which movies should be reviewed 100% voice-over for your Jambareeqi Cinema playlist? I just pick one method of reviewing media and make a playlist for every 16 episodes. But how do you decide how to review every movie?
Jambareeqi Most Orange poll choices are a mix of cinema release tie ins and frequently made fan requests, but Jambareeqi Cinema depends on whichever theatre released films are being hyped up the most that month. I'm trying to attract a larger audience by appealing to the algorithm, but I also want to appeal to whatever the majority of my fans want me to discuss
If you can read so deep into the film, than why does Amos hunt Todd, thus illegally going into a hunting forest and setting it on fire JUST because his older dog had BROKEN HIS LEG! (Outright killing Chief from the hit and fall - that would have totally killed him if it happened in real life - would have given him a more genuine reason, despite the fact that he trained Copper because Chief was getting old.) And what about that black bear who comes completely out of nowhere just for the sake of more forced drama? And does the widow know that Todd doesn't know anything about living alone in the wild but still leaves him completely unprepared just because some douche told her to do so, instead of just moving out? The film makes it clear that she didn't like him anyway. (Love your work and greatly appreciate you, but I sincerely think you were too hyperbolic about this film.)
Not to mention that Chief DOES live by the end of the film. As stated in my previous comment, he only broke one leg, despite the fact that it would have made more sense (writing-wise and physically) if he DID die.
Amos isn't going after Todd in the reserve to avenge Chief, he makes it clear that he isn't THAT hung up on Chief's leg, he uses that as an excuse to justify his rage. He is bent on killing Todd out of pride, as he is a trophy he has never successfully shot, and the subject of many quarrels with Widow that bruised his ego. This is what makes Amos' eventual pause to think important, Copper's defence of Todd triggers the hunter to contemplate what he's doing, after being consumed by a false sense of self entitlement. Yes, Chief dying would have been more dramatic and made sense, but it's just as disturbing to see Amos use Chief's minor wound to excuse his illegal trophy hunting, he's that narcissistic. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing that unnatural about a bear appearing in a wildlife reserve, so no idea why that surprises you. The bear is in the story to test the friendship, by seeing if Todd will find it in himself to protect his childhood friend, that's the whole sentiment of the finale, and it needed to be something that could overpower Copper & Amos. The entire purpose of the film is to question whether a fox and hound can be friends, so only something really big could push them to put aside their differences, and stay true to their childhood promise. I agree that Widow could have moved, and I did question if a domesticated fox could even survive in the wild in the review, but it's a big stretch to say that she disliked Todd, she just ended up making a questionable decision that she maybe didn't entirely think through. She does seem conflicted and hurt leaving him in the woods. You can think what you want about my review, but I genuinely think highly of the film and didn't intend to exaggerate my opinions.
@@tudor5059 I just read the comment on my Polar Express review that you deleted: "You know what I found funny, almost all your problems about this films are exactly my problems for 'Fox and the Hound' (you know, the overly saccharine and melodramatic film, also with unlikeable characters and forced drama made by their dumb decisions, you got emotionally manipulated by and got tricked into thinking it had something important to say when it reality it was just a dumb overly 'sad' film that clearly shows that different people worked on it in two halfs. Again, love your work and respect your opinions, but for someone who can judge a film beyond its surface (and can be critical of others), you can be hypocritical, since both that film and this have similar problems." 1) If you're going to call me out as a hypocrite, at least have the guts to keep the comment up. 2) Your idea of what makes someone hypocritical is very shallow and elitist.

I personally don't think that "The Polar Express" and "The Fox and the Hound" have the same problems, I gave reasons in my above comment why I disagreed with most of your complaints against the film, but you either didn't read them or didn't take them into account before posting on my Polar Express review. 3) You claim to be a fan of my work and respect my opinions, yet here you are patronisingly calling me gullible, just because I was swayed by a film that YOU personally found to be manipulative. Talk about contradiction. If you despise "The Fox and the Hound", then all power to you, I have nothing against that at all, but you clearly can't handle the idea of someone enjoying a film you hate. 4) There's a major difference between "Doesn't look at films deeply enough" and "Didn't find and share the exact same grievances with the film that I did". Understand that every person's film experience is different (it'd be boring if we all went through the same motions, thoughts, and feelings), and a critic isn't lazy for not bringing up things YOU personally didn't like. I expected better of you, you were one of my more down to earth and sensible fans, but your attitude regarding our differing opinions has been appalling.

Oh that's really sad, I hope you two will meet again one day!
I loved this movie growing up, and it still manages to get me right in the feels. Not bad for a movie that came from Disney's dark age.
This and the Great Mouse detective are the better films of the disney dark age.

I prefer The Rescuers over Robin Hood.
This movie always reminded me of me and my best friend. It still does. She's not around anymore, but I hope to somehow see her again someday.
(This is one of my favorite Disney movies. This is one of those very few Disney movies that actually have a ground to reality.)
As an adult, seeing friends grow apart, this movie hits harder for its messages and feelings.
Todd is my favorite character and I give the movie a 10/10
I agree
that bear scared the crap out of me when i was really young, would hide behind a pillow or blanket when it showed up
3:03, I wouldn't call it trophy hunting, Amos is likely using those fur as a means of income and the meat for food
I can't watch the scene with Widow leaving Tod.... I just can't
My old teacher can't either
6:37 I agree all the way on Vixey. Unlike most other reviewers who diss her for being a love interest. Plus in early concept art she was going to help Tod fight the bear.
If the Patreons pick The Grinch, be very afraid. The Whos will give you nightmares.

An amazing one of my favourite Disney movies. It just shows that with a simple story and moral you can create an amazing an touching movie.
This impactful movie helped little me question the unfair actions of my racist mother. And motivated me to be nice to everyone matter who they are.
When Corey Feldman was a young promising actor and not the Tommy Wiseau of music.
I've actually never heard his music, is it so bad that it's good then?

I love this movie"Goodbye may seem forever" still never fails to make me cry.
The Fox and the Hound was my VERY first movie, so this movie is really special to me! Did you know in the original book, Copper is actually named Chief, and Chief was named Copper?
I also hear that the book is 10 times darker
(Oh it is! The ending is the saddest that you will every read.)
@@Jambareeqi The book is one of the darkest things Disney ever adapted. Hard to pick whether the Fox & Hound book or Hunchback book is the darkest.
@@Jambareeqi Tod and Copper were enemies throughout the book.

Fun fact Chief was originally going to die after he got hit by the train and was meant to help enhance Copper and Todd’s devision

I made the same observation, it's a very November movie xD
It was very deep and profound
Who agrees the climatic fight with the Bear is one of Disney’s most intense?
Harry Thomas Pictures YES I agree.
I also think this film is underrated
what's the outro song called? shazam can't even find it
This is my second favorite disney movie. I grew up loving it and still do as an adult. It’s really good.

Always really liked the film.
from seeing a summary of the book it's much darker than the movie. I hate the fox in the book than in the movie.
The most interesting part for me is Tod and Copper as adults. And Big Mama is also my favorite character.
I said Battle Angle wasn't gonna win, and guess what? I was right. All of you must pay me now
I wished you would’ve reviewed Ready Player One. It was one of my favorite movies of 2018!

Yep
I would like to see Snowed in at the House of Mouse as I'm a big fan of HoM
How much strawberries out of 5 would you rate this?
No idea
Amazing channel! You my good sir deserve more subscribers! Why don’t you though?
Jamabareeqi can you please review over the hedge?
One day
What do you think of the sequel ?
it's shit
One of my all time favorite Disney movies!
Jamabareeqi what’s your opinion on Ralph breaks the internet?
It's not out in UK cinemas yet, wait until my review of it
Jambareeqi ok sorry if I was impatient there, I was just curious if you had seen it is all.
I was just reading your twitter posts and I notice something. You had Super Smash Bros 64. Do you enjoy that game?
I love it, but I am selling it, low on funds right now
It's a shame I already own a Nintendo 64 because I would have bought it. Then again, I sadly don't have an email account.
Jamabareeqi what’s your opinion on the fox and the hound 2?
It's boring babysitter fodder, barely remember it. It'll be an option in January 2019's "Jambareeqi Orange" poll.
Jambareeqi ok what are your opinions on rudolph the red nosed reindeer and the island misfit toys and rapsittie street kids believe in Santa?
I've not seen either
Jambareeqi I haven’t seen the fox and the hound 2 and I don’t plan on it either
I would love it if you chose to review my cartoons! 🕶👍
Review hell and back
