I am 28 and still cry with this movie. Every single time 😭 ❤

The scene where the old woman leaves Todd in the woods because she thinks he'd be safer, and his confused face... leaves me in tears every time! I have two dogs, both of them are rescues. They have totally different personalities (one laid back and the other bratty) and theyre a lot of work but i love them to pieces. Thanks for your videos JV!

Had this on VHS as a kid and watching it non stop. I'm now 31 and hadn't watched in in years until a few days ago. So many tear jerker moments in this movie, such an under-rated Disney film.

The part where Chief gets hit by the train was actually a huge point of contention between animators. In the book this movie is based on, Chief dies from the impact, which many of the new, younger animators wanted to leave in, stating that it was necessary to give Copper a proper motive for revenge. However, the veteran animators wanted Chief to live saying that they had never killed off a main character before, and they weren't about to start now. Ultimately, the old guard won, but it caused a major riff between them and the new guard, and even contributed to Don Bluth leaving Disney to form his own animation company.

I always felt, despite their going seperate ways at the end, in a way Copper and Tod kept their friendship. Though they may not see each other again (and who knows, maybe one day they do?), they remember their bond forever, and though apart, keep that bond, in ways such as thinking about the other and thinking, “I’ll never forget him. He will always be my very best friend, no matter what.” And maybe they make new friends, even new best friends, (which is perfectly OK) but they will hold a certain place in their hearts for each other. Friendships like theirs never die.

A neighbor actually killed one of my dogs when I was a kid. He was on my property, but off leash and growled at the neighbor. Dude hunted him around the back of the house, cornered, and shot him. When my parents got back, my dad about came unglued. RIP, Freckles.

Man, I love this movie. I still cry when Todd is dropped off in the woods. But man, such a great story that realistically speaks to how friendships change over time. Fact of the matter is, we outgrow certain kinds of friendships in life…. but no matter what, you always hold on to those memories and what those bonds mean, even if you don’t hold on to the actual friendships.

I cry my eyes out every time I see this movie. In fact if I sometimes feel like I need a good cry it's the Fox and the Hound I'll usually watch. It's an underrated masterpiece for kids.

I love Tod and Copper’s friendship. ❤

*Disney Filmmakers* We can't kill off Chief it will traumatize the kids! *Also Disney Filmmakers* Hey, in the final act let's have both of the leads get feral and then introduce a Satan Bear and have multiple instances of bloodshed in the fight scene! The kids'll love that! 😕😟🐻

This movie was/is/and always will be an essential part of my collection.

3:08 "You know what the owl would do to this baby fox in the real world." I did not know JV was such a savage. In all seriousness this is probably one of my favorite children's movies with a "best friends split and make up" plot. Happy ending but long arduous journey that just kind of hits hard at points.

Always a fun and wholesome film to watch. The complicated relationship between Tod and Copper is very interesting, them being natural enemies and friends at the same time. I remember hearing the original story ending differently, but I like what Disney did with title characters, becoming friends again in the end.

0:13. 0:20 FINALLY! Someone who actually acknowledges the fact that this is a musical movie! And yet, "musical" isn't one of the genres in this film!

I’m a parent of 2, a son and a daughter. And I’m a grandmother of 4, one granddaughter, age 10 and 3 grandsons, ages 4, 5 & 7.

Thank for reacting to this movie. I LOVE IT. It was the first movie I saw at the theater when i was three. It has always been very special to me. It taught me that you can be friends with anyone no matter what society or your family or what anyone tells you. Where I came from JV stands for joint venture between 2 or more friends.

Now the Fox and the Hound is another level of emotion scarring for me. When Tweed had to leave Todd in the woods it emotionally and mentally fucked me up as a child. I had such emotional breakdowns over this one scene. Now matter how many times I watched the movie growing up and it got to that sad scene, I couldn’t help my cry my heart out. I still cry on that sad scene to this day. That scene emotionally and mentally hurt my heart and soul.

Little fun fact: The German title for this movie is: Cap und(and) Capper The fox is named Cap and the hound is Capper I personally like it more than the English version because the names sound similar and are easy to say together and it makes me feel like the friendship was meant to be

I cry when copper had go hunting and leave for behind his howl

Fun fact: The creators didn't want an onscreen death, and yet you get a bear falling down a waterfall.

I considered myself to be a mother. Although, little Quinn made it to the Golden Gates before I could ever hear her cries.

Thank you for doing this. This movie and "The Secret of Nimh" are my favorite cartoons that I grew up watching. I watched it countless times, and I still cry when Copper stands in the way. Shows that any kids can be friends until the world tells them they can't. "This isn't a musical"...cries at the end of the song.

this has to be one of my absolute favourites as a kid, the friendship Tod and Copper have is heartwarming, one of the first things you learn is that, it doesn't matter if your supposed to be natural enemies, in the end you can still chose differently, you can still be friends. not sure i want to watch it with you as it has always made me cry.

Are you kidding me with the kids!? I have 2 cats named Charlotte and Cheyenne! That's crazy!

Had this movie on a VHS tape when I was a kid, so cool to see your reaction to it now. 😁I'm also a parent to two girls, their names are Noelle (3), and Keahi (7 months)

I have 3 dogs, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Jaxx, A Chihuahua named Tulio and a French Bulldog named Banjo. Also the song and poem that plays when Widow Tweed lets Tod go into the woods always gets my heartstrings plucked and makes me cry.

This is one of my favorite Disney movies to this day. I love the message about love, friendship and societal expectations. Through it all, they were still best friends in the end. ❤

I have two girls, 5 and 7, and that’s enough for us! Loved this movie as a kid and now I wanna watch it with them. Thank you for this fun reaction and for reminding me how great and heartfelt this movie is.

Short answer, yes foxes can be domesticated. There was actually an experiment done by the Russians starting in the 50s or something and they were shocked with how quickly you could domesticate them with selective breeding and the program is still going as far as I know. That group sold the domesticated ones as pets to fund it

Tod and Copper's friendship is very sweet and incredible. The type of dog breed that Copper was based on is a Bloodhound. And the dog breed that Chief was based on is a irish wolfhound.

I miss this disney. Where there were darker elements. There is something about the detail in hand drawn like where Todd and Copper were baring teeth where it looked and felt very real. None of the 3d animation had that grittiness and realness. Haven't been fond of any disney movie after tangled except zootopia.

I always cried soooo much when the old lady left Todd in the forest... and then I cried even more at the end xD.... pure dehydration-movie!! Don't forget to drink plenty of water after watching this!

This is such a heartfelt movie, it’s hard not to cry watching it, especially toward the end. 💔 Also the bear still scares me to this day

5:30. To be fair, in the book the dogs had barrels. Besides, barrels seem cheaper.

I saw this Movie as a kid and cried I reallly saw how dark it is as a adult

I love your daughters names! I always said if I had another daughter I would name her Cheyenne or Charlotte! I love it. My kids are Liam and Sophia. I love this reaction because this movie has so much symbolism with society. Keep up the good work!!!

One of the most beautiful friendships. My 3rd favourite Disney animated movie. Tod's abandonment seems to be in the top 10 or even 5 of Disney's saddest scenes. Get's me every single time! Copper is a Bloodhound, they are the ultimate trackers, when they smell a trail, they follow it until they find the source. Foxes are monogamous. Wild foxes are not tameable, but an ongoing Siberian genetic experiment, with selection by meekness (i.e. the absence of escape aptitude) has created the domesticated fox breed.

I live in the woods so we get owls, vultures, woodpeckers, coyotes, and foxes, and I have two Pomeranians but my youngest, Marco, is foolhardy and brash, so there’s been times where he chases these dangerous animals and I have to rein him in. He once chased a fox down our driveway (it’s long and winding) and I was so scared, but the fox seemed really put off by Marco’s barking and didn’t even attempt to attack him.

Beautiful story

One of my favorites as a kid. I was born 3 years after this came out but I remember watching it and loving it as a kid. One of my earliest memories that kids movies didn't have to be always light and happy.

At the end when he opens his eyes and their kids voices play he actually smells Todd's scent that's why he smiles cause he knows he's around and watching and it shows Todd not to far from where they are love this movie. Grew up with fox and the hound, Balto, Land before times, and American tails,

my theory is Aimos sells the meat and fur to local town since this was back when people still wore fur

Funny thing is, Chief was supposed to die in the movie like he did in the book. However, Disney decided against it last minute. It was one of the last straws for Don Bluth to leave, because he was on #TeamChiefDies. XD

This has been my go-to cry movie for a long time. Just the whole idea of childhood innocence and friendship being ruined by adults saying they have to hate each other. Happens too much in the real world too. I love your channel!

Paul Winchell and Pat Buttram aka the voices of Boomer and Chief had some of the most noticeable voices for animated characters, most notably in Disney. Paul also voices Tigger from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Pat voiced The Sheriff in Robin Hood and Napoleon in The Aristocats.

I have six cats the mother was actually adopted, and I have a dog that I have adopted when she was a year old

The Fox and the Hound is my Favorite Classic Disney Cartoon Movie

We have two dogs. A tiny little Maltipoo thats a girl, and her name is Biggie.. and a giant German Shepherd thats a boy, and his name is Loki. Love this movie. Great reaction!

Aristocats and Robin Hood are fantastic, 70s Disney gold. Dumbo is great too but get ready to cry! Looking forward to your reactions to those some day!

Loved this movie growing up but, ya tears your heart up as always.

Another movie I loved as a kid! 😍

26:39-34:34 those bear 🐻 traps 🪤 are much worse than rat 🐀 traps. However, the bear traps are banned in the USA and countries.

This is one of my all time faves….. you’re my best friend copper

This movie traumatised me, my mother banned it from the house for 11 years straight😂 the scene where she has to leave Todd in the woods absolutely destroyed me every single time. I can barely even watch it now tbh, but I’m not inconsolable watching it as I used to be 😭

He says "this isn't a musical 🤔" LMAO 🤣 true

"weasel thing": That, my friend, is a badger. one the most ornery bstards you will ever meet in the woods, only surpassed by the honey badger and the wolverine. But badgers are pretty mean as well. hard to kill too.

The old hunter didn't intend to hunt bear but accidentally ran into that huge one.

I kept wondering why the guy who voices Amos sounds so familiar even tho I don't know his name, looked Jack Alberston up and he's Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory! That's why

Extremely dangerous grizzly.

Todd enters the fight after he hears Copper yelp.

one of the best disney movies of all time. soooooooo underrated

Honestly, this has to be one of Disney’s Darkest movies. I loved it since I was little and I’m almost 20 and now when I watch it, it makes me cry🥹

He's not a worm,he's a caterpillar.

Oh my goodness this movie, I cannot tell you how much I loved it when I was a kid. Countless days were spent watching the VHS over and over again, Tod and Copper's friendship cuts deep and still lives in my head even now. I wish there were more scenes of them playing together but what we got is still iconic. This movie really is a part of me considering the impact it had on my life. It's still one of my favourites even now and it's my personal favourite traditional 2D animated Disney film

Such a cuddly porcupine.

This movie is so good and it’s one of my favorite animated films

I don't care what anybody says, this is the ultimate Disney movie. "Best of Friends" is the all-time best Disney song. FU if you disagree.

Grew up watching it and love it and im about to turn 21 in several days

Dude….when this came out, I was a mess emotionally….there wasn’t a dry eye in the theater 🎭

Yes the hunter did see Todd for just a minute.

This was the very first book I read all by myself when I Was a child. It was my favorite Disney story and I cried like a baby

This is the very first movie i shedded a tear on. I was in the 4th grade and we were watching this movie in class, and when the old lady dropped Tod off in the woods, looked back at him, and the music started playing, a tear ran down my face. I wiped my face so quickly so no one in class would notice. This movie doesn't get the credit it deserves IMO...

We have three dogs, two hounds named Georgia and Charlotte and a mutt named Memphis.

22:09 happened to me once. I shit you not. My parents watched it happen. It wasn't shooting but our dog, still a puppy, was sniffing around on the side of the road, still on our property, the neighborhood most hated guy drives by, he was on the OTHER side of the road, and he drives over to the side our dog was on, there was no other cars or people on the road to avoid, and there was no turn, he drove to the side our dog was on intentionally, hit it, and she didn't survive. They took them to court over it but didn't have proof so he got away with it, sad thing is my mom was friends with his wife, and they had a falling out, but said wife also left the guy after that. Sucks because they had 3 kids too.

One of my top 2 disney movies as a child. Cried every time I watched it

I love this movie! Makes me cry, twice, every time!!! Sad tears and happy tears.

Kurt Russel was adult Copper and Mickey Rooney (National Velvet, The Black Stallion) was Todd.

I haven’t seen this movie in over a decade and man it brought back memories and I understood it more as a adult they had a non verbal good bye at the end

One of my favorite Disney Cartoon films! #film #disney

I have a bracco italiano called Majken. She’s five ❤️ she’s actually a bird hunting dog but I do other things with her instead of hunting.

Man, I shiped the two of them as soon as they got on screen. Dunno, theyre just adorable togheter. X]

My favorite Disney movie next to Cinderella, Lilo and Stitch and The Little Mermaid

Too many words I don't know what to put first 😂 Love this movie, and Thanks for explaining the Patreon stuff Justin, idk why it didn't make sense like the exclusive vs the early access but thanks, will be joining after I finish this to watch Steven Univers and more 😊

Foxes can be semi-domesticated by handlers who are prepared, but not the way Todd is. They're very, very active and curious and need a lot of room to run around and explore, especially while growing up, and they need a specific diet. Todd is presented as more of a house pet and it is understandable of the widow to want to take the defenseless cub in, but foxes are still wild animals by nature.

I haven't seen this movie in so long, that I feel like it's my first time again watching this video

This movie traumatized 8 year old me. The old lady taking Todd back to the woods, Todd’s mom dying, Copper shielding Todd…it’s too much!

My baby is a black lab & cocker spaniel mix. Her name is Charlotte.(aka Charlie) She is so sweet and smart.

One of my favorites! I have 2 dogs. An Australian cattle dog mix named Kiba and a chiweenie named Peaches!

I remember not wanting to watch this as a kid but i absolutely loved it. The rest of my family was luke warm on it but it's in my top 5 disney movies

Get a box of tissues for the movie Dumbo because it’s a roller coaster of emotions!

This has always been my favorite Disney mivie

By far one of my favorite Disney films

I think Chief and Copper are different cause Chief is already a senior dog and Copper is hunting with Chief but since he's senior he's not as youthful. but what your job did was sucky

My favorite childhood movie🥲🥲🥲

I have a westie called Buddy, he’s family.

One of Disney’s best. Underrated as heck tho. Thanks for reacting to it!

We have a 3yo lab hound mix (I think she has a lot of Pitt in her too) named Ha'aheo. And we have a 14yo chow mix named Oscar. Our senior blue tick lab mix, Harley passed about a year ago. This movie gets me every time 😭😭😭

Technicolor is a series of color motion picture processes, the first version dating back to 1916,and followed by improved versions over several decades. In 1997, Technicolor reintroduced the dye transfer process to general film printing. A refined version of the printing process of the 1960s and 1970s, it was used on a limited basis in the restorations of films such as The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Rear Window, Funny Girl, and Apocalypse Now Redux. After its reintroduction, the dye transfer process was used in several big-budget, modern Hollywood productions. These included Bulworth, The Thin Red Line, Godzilla, Toy Story 2, and Pearl Harbor. The dye-transfer process was discontinued by Technicolor in 2002 after the company was purchased by Thomson. On June 24, 2020, Technicolor filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the United States, citing COVID-19 as the reason for its impact. In May 2021, Technicolor's post-production unit was acquired by Streamland Media.On September 27, 2022, Technicolor SA, which maintains the IoT, broadband and video solution businesses, rebranded as Vantiva, while the VFX, motion graphics and animation businesses now operated by Technicolor Creative Studios; these two were spun-off as the publicly independent companies.

This is the most underated disney movie.
