A young fox named Tod is taken in by an old woman after his mother is killed by a hunter. Full of mischief, Young Tod befriends Copper, a hound dog pup. As they grow up, however, their friendship becomes endangered by what they have become; Copper is a hunting dog, and Tod is his prey. —IMDb
What an unlikely Disney story. So sad, nearly throughout, and with an ambiguous ending. My five year old cried, and I can remember feeling the same way when I saw it the first time. Kudos to the cast, too--Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russel, Pearl Bailey, Sandy Duncan, and Cory Feldman...
