This movie had us feeling lots of feels. Well ONE of us that is. Do you remember watching this as a child? Kelly apparently watched this more than any other movie in their family library. Does she just like being depressed?

FUN FACTS!
Fox and the Hound was the last to be released in its Black Diamond glory, but that didn't stop there. The same film was the very first to be released in "The Gold Collection" edition, preferably the VHS versions.
The relationship between Todd and Copper was really developed due to the relationship of Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. If those names sound familiar – it might be because they were 2 of the “Nine Old Men” team. According to D23, their friendship made the onscreen friendship all the more special.
