[edit] The book

I am currently working on an article about the book this movie was loosely based on. I think it might be a good idea to move this page to The Fox and the Hound (film) once the article on the book is up (at The Fox and the Hound (book)), with The Fox and the Hound being used as a disambiguation page.

I realize that this will cause quite a few misdirected links, but I'm willing to help them point to the right place, as well. Any thoughts? --Sparky Lurkdragon 15:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

i guess that would be a good idea. the movie is my fav movie EVER- and it always will be- so i think it would be a good idea b/c i've never read the book and i would want to know the difference between the two. CatMan 16:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I really need to get working on that article; I'm kinda lazy and easily distracted.

At any rate, there's... quite a few. Most of plot is completely different; for example, Copper is the older dog in the book and hates upstart newcomer Chief, the novel has a rabies epidemic, neither protagonist has humanoid intellegence... and so forth. --Sparky Lurkdragon 23:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow... those are big differences! I wonder if I would like the movie as much if it were more like the book. I would be helping if I'd ever read the book, since I'm always getting into other peoples business.

by the way, thnx for answering me. no one ever does. CatMan 16:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, the novel's article is up at The Fox and the Hound (novel). Now moving this page and sorting out the chaos this will cause... --Sparky Lurkdragon 22:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information?

Why is there an information section, the whole article is of information? It needs a new title. Cbrown1023 16:34, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I guess that is true- the entire article is info. Is Production Information good enough? Think of any other names if you can. CatMan 01:08, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Found a link to Animation World Magazine on Fox and the hound: http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.8/3.8pages/3.8sitofox.html Kidsheaven 06:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Changed PRODUCTION INFORMATION to the New Generation Animators, added and changed some info from the source animation world magazine. Still need some work on wording and formating, adding or checking for links to the new names added and future movies made by Fox and the Hound animation production staff. The source is linked on the bottom of the page is now for the whole section, I don't know if it's placement is correct, could not link to heading in a reasonable way, and odd to list only on the end of the section, comments welcome, some editing could be done. Ran out of time for today. Kidsheaven 23:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tod, not "Todd"

The name of the main character is Tod, not Todd. It is Tod in the credits at the beginning and on any website operated by anyone that knows what they're doing.

If anybody plans on editing this page, spell Tod correctly. If anybody does not follow that, somebody else should change it. CatMan 01:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

'Tod' is also the spelling used in the novel, for reference. --Sparky Lurkdragon 21:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re-use of sounds

There are so many mention on these Disney animation feature films of sounds being used from prior movies, I don't believe this is true and the Studio tours Disney MGM and Universal Studios show so much of production and such. I have found no reference (third party sources) that verify this information! I do know that many TV shows recycle parts of the film, and special effects - Example the first Battlestar Galactica. Modern sound effects and stunts are simulated with computers in less expensive films, I.E. synthesyser voice sampling. There are records of sound effects which I think give some people the idea that these are recorded and reused over and over.

I challenge any one to prove reuse of sound effects in Disney Feature Animation, not television.Kidsheaven 01:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Endings?

Removed comment about it not having a Happy Ending in the article. The sentence seems to be arguing with itself, and I think whether or not you think it has a happy ending, that discussion doesn't belong in the Critical Reaction section. Left in the trivia for now, but I'd vote on removing it from there as well. Egret 04:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd argue, that whether this movie has a happy ending or not depends on how you interprid the outcome. If you think of Widow Tweed as Tod's mother and that he's been kicked out from home and doesen't come back to live at the farm, I guess you could call it a sad ending. At the begining Tod's mother is killed, Widow Tweed is just that; a widow, Amos Slade is an angry old man and Chief, influenced my his master, a bitter and aggressive dog. At the end Chief has grown fond of Copper's company, Slade has been softened up and seems to have mooved into Tweed's house and Tod and Vixey enjoys an overview of the farm in the blissfull company of eachother.

On the other hand, Tod lost his mother, his stepmother, his home AND his best friend (note that they don't hang around together, they're simply no longer enemies) He sits there on the rock with a look that suggests he's thinking "it was so nice out here when i was young, now things have changed, i'm no longer welcome" For me, it's neither sad nor happy ending, it's a 'good' one, if you know what i mean. A balanced one! Not yet another of those "happily ever after" stuff, that makes this movie special —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.21.29.73 (talk) 19:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Foxhoundposter.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
