Review of The Fox and the Hound (1981) by Diego96 — 21 Jul 2023

Quite simply one of the most underrated films ever released by Disney (if not the most underrated). With a simple and exciting story, "The Fox and the Hound" is not a faithful adaptation of the melancholic original novel that inspired it, but it is still not a fully optimistic film, knowing how to approach the conflicts between the main characters very well.

The humor, while not refined, is handled subtly, and can easily give way to drama without a sudden transition. However, a questionable point is in the appearances of the characters Dick and Boomer. Although they are fun characters, sometimes they end up taking screen time that could be used in favor of the development of the story (although fortunately the film does not disappoint in the conduct of the plot).
