The Fox and the Hound 1 & 2 on Blu-Ray + DVD! {Review}

Remember The Fox and the Hound? This is one of the first Disney cartoons I remember watching, a total classic. As a child, I was a lover of all things Disney and especially if it involved animals, so this was one I was fond of. We didnt own it, so I didnt see it very often, but I remember it made a big impression on me and brought me to tears when I would watch it. Just seeing the two friends grow up together as best friends and then realize theyre natural enemies when they grew up was a heartrending situation (especially to me as a child).

The Fox and the Hound 2 was completely new to me when I received this set on DVD, so I was very interested in seeing what they did with the story. First of all, its considerably lighter in topic than the first one (nice) and there is a lot of music since it centers around Tod and Copper (as pups!) trying to join up with a traveling group of singing dogs, The Singin Strays. We enjoyed it and found that the charm of the characters from the first movie carried through to this one.

Extras:

The special features on this 3-disc edition include:

• A collection of unlikely friendships in the animal kingdom (Blu-Ray disc)

Final Thoughts:

I was impressed with the quality of the movie the picture is as clear as if it had just recently been released! The only thing that differs is the charming painting-like background to the scenes. Im amazed at what they can do to restore old cartoons nowadays. 🙂 This is a great combo, very worth adding to your Disney movie collection!
