Heartwarming and sad at the same time

I really liked the way this film followed two different characters on their life journeys. It was a departure from the usual Disney plot structure. These characters are well fleshed out and engaging. The only reason I didn't rate this higher was because of a certain unbelievable bridge scene.

Will their friendship endure?

Very loosely adapted from the Daniel P. Mannix novel of the same name, 'The Fox And The Hound (1981)' focuses on two unlikely friends who struggle to maintain their bond as they inevitably move into adulthood. One is trained to hunt (and even kill) the other, which obviously puts a bit of a strain on the relationship. Will they be able to overcome their nature and stay pals? Well, that's basically the core concept of the piece. It's an interesting theme and the flick often does a decent job dealing with it. It's a small-scale story with personal stakes that typically works quite well. The film is rather slow, though; its plot seems to have been stretched to fit its feature length. It lacks energy, too. I mean, its opening is possibly one of Disney's dullest and its songs are just lazy, to be honest. Ultimately, though, it's a relatively enjoyable time. Its finale is exciting, its animation is entertaining and its central relationship is engaging. It's a solid, mid-tier effort from Disney. 6/10.
