"...A solid, beautifully crafted animated feature..." 07/01/1981New York Times
"...A pretty, relentlessly cheery, old-fashioned sort of Disney cartoon feature, chockfull of bouncy songs..." 07/10/1981 p.C5 At-A-Glance Film Reviews 9 of 10
This Disney animated film isn't the classic that many of its peers are, but it's quite an interesting story. True to its title, the story follows the life of a fox and a hound, friends as kids, through to adulthood where mutual friendship is not what nature intended. As always, the animals are wonderfully drawn, especially in the dramatic scenes toward the end, despite the cheaper, rougher edges that dominated most of Disney's animation in the seventies and early eighties.
Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
The star of the movie's sound track is Pearl Bailey as Big Mama Owl. She sings three songs, dispenses advice with a free hand, and struts around in the forest as a sort of feathered Ann Landers. The animators have done a wonderful job of giving their cartoon owl some of Pearlie Mae's personality traits, but the two leading characters (with Mickey Rooney as the fox and Kurt Russell as the hound) are more straightforward...It's a fast-moving, colorful story, and as I watched the animated images on the screen, I was suddenly reminded of a curious belief I held when I was a kid. I believed that cartoons looked more real than "live" features, because everything on the screen had sharper edges. I outgrew my notion, but I'm not sure that represents progress. - Roger Ebert
