Status Updates From The Fox and The Hound

AWWWWWIE COPPERRRR

Copper and the hunter really cannot catch a break in trying to get Tod

It's been quite entertaining reading how Tod outsmarts the hunter'a traps, and how in turn the hunter makes more extravagant traps, in a weird arms race

The thrill of the chase, the anticipation of rewards, the disappointment of failure. Copper makes chase for the glorification of his master, Todd runs to preserve what little he has.

Crazy to see the scene from the bear hunt where Chief is part of a separate part of this original version of the story too.

It's neat to see how Disney will take scenes and set pieces, completely remove their context, yet still make a compelling story from it. The entire bear scene happens within the first chapter as a chase after a man-killing bear, yet in the movie becomes the foil of the hunt after Tod and an emotional fracturing of the friendship bond in the movie.

Bear! Oh my!

The dog, Copper, is near sighted. Make note.

Tod learned three valuable lessons from that terrible day which had climaxed with a string of shot in his hide that itched him for a long time afterward. 🦊

Very sentimental, I feel strongly for these animals.
