For about 10, almost 15 years, Disney had an obsession with direct-to-video and direct-to-tv movies; they were, as their name suggested, never theatrically released. Instead, they gave a small amount of money to Disney Toons, a studio in charge of the Saturday morning cartoons - the inbred, imitative children that Disney movies spawned - and had them make a movie.
They were quick to make; a few months at best. They always just enough money to pay for Walt Disney's extended cryosleep and support another movie. And they were... meh at best and holy godfuck someone was paid to make this at worst?
The Fox and the Hound is a movie that means a lot to me; so does Beauty and The Beast. It was one of my favourite movies growing up. It tells the dark and suprisingly realistic story of two young animals, a fox and a hound (duh) who are best friends, until they grow up, and society forces them to play up to the parts their species, and the expectations of humans, against their will.
It's also a very very very gay movie. It's also a very classic movie, going on to inspire a rather noteable Japanese childrens' book, One Stormy Night, which was made into an anime. Again, very very very... not gay... at least in the books... but in the anime?
This is a midquel; another movie or story taking place during a time in the first one, like how Tarzan 2 (another piece of shit DTV movie) takes place before Tarzan turns into an adult. Like it suggests, this means it has no meaning; it just starts you off with the first, and leaves you with the first.
Also, they join a band. Ew.
So, good points out the way, 'cause there aren't many. Good animation, showing it had a fair bit of money poured into it.. which is weird because the movie isn't nearly as well known as Beauty and The Beast or Snow White or... pretty much any other Disney movie that was critically praised.
It also doesn't harm the style in any way; it's still good ol' classis Disney, before they started ripping off that guy who painted The Swing. It freshens it up, and gives it pretty nice shading and colouring simply not possible in the time the original was made.
Now, onto the bad parts... oh boy, so many.
So Tod and Copper go to a fair after being chased by a dog; Copper gets sidetracked, and ends up joining a band of singing dogs while there. Tod gets angry, Copper suspects him of jealousy. Sexy ***** (literally) dog doesn't like that Copper keeps getting attention and stealing it away from her sexy asshole boyfriend dog-thing, who is really and asshole.
Infact, everyone's an asshole. Copper realises his mistake after a big horrible accident; leaves band, bad with Tod.
Skip to The Fox and The Hound 1... yeah, about halfway through.
What is the point of this movie? It's almost exactly like a tv episode of an average sitcom, kind of like The Emperor's New School or that shitty Hercules thing... because that's exactly what it was.
The first movie could be interpreted as many things; an allegory for recism, one of those weird "summer romance" things you see on Netflix, usually between two young boys or girls, or supposed to represent how both men and women lose their innocence as they try to shun it as they get older.
This is a sitcom plot made up by two writers, who wrote one - which should take 2 hours - in the space of several months.
I.. just don't...
Beauty and The Beast 2 is up next, by the way. I want to kill myself already.
