Fantastic!
A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

View MoreI saw the original "Fox And The Hound" on Netflix. But once I did, I felt kind of sad and morbid, (I actually cried on my bed right after I saw it) the story had nice ideas, great characters, and all that good stuff. But the idea of two best friends becoming enemies and actually trying to kill each other is just not my cup of tea. I'm not saying that I hate the movie, I still think its one of the great Disney classics along with Robin Hood and Lady and the Tramp. I just think that it left me in a cloud of sadness and melancholy.Then I saw the sequel, and I was pleasantly surprised....This one actually relieved me of the bittersweet feeling I got with the first. The film is a prequel that starts all over and decides to change the ideas of the first one by lightening it up a little bit. (something that would normally be seen as a cop out, but for me it's perfect) So now we have a film that leaves me with a more positive feeling than a cold, dark one like with the original. Along with a good idea, the film has more things to keep it running, just to give one example, PATRICK FRIGGIN SWAYZE!!! Now with a guy like him, you can't go wrong, as he gives a great performance that you could get out of him. Now about the crappy reception the film is getting...Most people are striking this film on just the fact that it's not as good as the original, and thus give the film a thumbs down.The thing is when you're watching one of these sequels, you have to come in with an open mind, the least of expectations. Because you are watching a sequel, a film that will never be as good or as groundbreaking as the first. You just have to focus on the ideas about it trying to follow up or be prior to the first. So while some people just bash this film to the ground, others like me either give it a positive review, or like me, Two Thumbs Up!I consider this a great film to watch if you want to watch Fox and The Hound in a different way, or if you weren't satisfied with the first and want to see a more upbeat take.
View MoreThey used Copper and Todd as young kids in the move, and at the End of the 1st movie they where all grown-up and they should have started them grown up. In all of the Disney 1st movies like Toy story Andy was little but in the 2nd movie he was a big kids, and also in lion King Simba is little lion and in the 2nd movie he is a big lion, also in the little mermaid Ariel fine Eric in the 1st movie and in the 2nd movie the has a daughter. I so not like the music in the movie I like the music in the 1st one better. I would not let my kids see the movie. My kids like the 1st one better. They do not have Big mama, Vixey, Dinky, Boomer. If they do a 3rd one I hope it is better then the 2nd one.
View MoreThe Fox and the Hound is a quiet classic of Disney's, I highly recommend it, it was an extremely sweet story and a personal favorite of mine. So I was curious what was with the sequel, if they just prolonged the story or was it new characters? I wasn't too sure if this was a prequel or a re-make of the first film. Because of the way the story was in the first film, this didn't make much sense. I wasn't sure if it was just an added story, if it was, it was a bit silly. While the story and characters were cute, don't get me wrong, it's perfect for the kids, it just didn't do anything for me since I'm such a fan of the first film. I just feel like they shouldn't have ruined the story, the ending to the first film was perfect, we didn't need an additional story. But it wasn't bad for the kids, it's just a typical Disney sequel.Todd and Chopper are back as young kids, they are having their typical play dates, but Chopper is feeling a bit down since he doesn't feel that he doesn't have any special talents. After a failed attempt at trying to hunt, Chopper's master leaves him home when he takes Chief to the fair for the howling and hunting contest. Todd takes Chopper to the fair anyways to cheer him up, and they end up meeting a stray dog singing group with wants Chopper to join due to his surprising pleasant voice. Todd gets left out, but the singer that got kicked out of the band because of Chopper, Dixie, she has a few tricks up her sleeve and wants back. Todd in the mean time just wants his best friend back.The Fox and the Hound 2 is a better Disney sequel than most, I admit. But like I said it just wasn't needed, I was kinda disappointed in seeing the computer animation, you could tell when it wasn't hand drawn. The additional characters were cute, but they didn't do anything for me personally. I would recommend that you stick with the first Fox and the Hound movie, just because it's very original and a classic. For the kids, this sequel would be up their alley, but for the fans of the original, I wouldn't really go crazy over this.4/10
View MoreAs far as my experience with certain Disney sequels I was prepared for either success or failure. I got somewhere in the middle, the animation was lively and the acting good, but in the spirit of the original I didn't think it was quite there. The story failed to elaborate in relation to the original, unlike Bambi II which pulled it with surprising success. Having watched Bambi II I was very much expecting to see something of the same caliber, but this fell a little short. Too many new characters were introduced and several of the old characters didn't even merit a cameo appearance which was a little disappointing.However, the movie still had it's fair share of cute moments to make you giggle, which was one of it's saving graces. The animation is at a great standard and no obvious flaws to spot and was casted reasonably well. I was concerned when the cover said "The music of today's hottest stars is centre stage" which sounded like a poor effort to grab the attention of any mainstream dolt, but the soundtrack wasn't too bad and had me tapping my toes in a few places.From the point of view of a Disney cartoon it was a little under powered but it's still got some good laughs and pleasant moments, but don't go expecting the repeat success of the original.
