The Fox and the Hound 2

Plot synopsis:
The film opens with Tod and Copper chasing a cricket together. They see a line of trucks bringing the county fair to town, and Copper is mesmerized by the sound of dogs singing together in an old school bus with "The Singin' Strays" painted on the side. The pair are eager to go see the fair, but when Copper's clumsy tracking skills disappoint his master Amos Slade yet again, the pup is tied up in the yard while Slade and Chief go to the fair without him. Tod arrives and pulls Copper's collar off, and the pair head to the fair.
Tod and Copper get to meet The Singin' Strays. The band has five members: Dixie, Cash, Granny Rose, and twin brothers Waylon and Floyd. It is important that they perform well because a talent scout from the Grand Ole Opry will be at the fair. Cash and Dixie get into an argument, and Dixie walks off before their performance, forcing them to go on stage without her. During the show, Copper sings along, and Cash invites the pup up on stage to sing with them. The musical number is a success. Cash invites Copper to join the band, which he does after Tod lies that Copper is a stray. Copper spends the entire day with Cash, forgetting his promise to watch fireworks with Tod.
Dixie finds Tod and sympathizes with his feelings of abandonment. During their conversation, Tod lets it slip that Copper is not a stray. Dixie then hatches a plan to get Copper kicked out of the band. Tod sneaks into Chief's barrel, luring him and Slade to the fair in a wild chase. The chase leads to widespread mayhem in the fair, and the Singin' Strays' performance is sabotaged right in front of the talent scout Mr. Bickerstaff. Copper is fired from the band and returns home with Slade. Granny Rose and the rest of the members of Cash's band feel quite sorry for Copper about this and therefore the band breaks up. Tod tries to apologize to Copper, but Copper is angry at the fox for ruining everything. Tod is brought home by his owner, Widow Tweed. Along the way, Tweed narrowly misses being hit by the talent scout's car, and Bickerstaff's hat flies off and lands on Tod.
The following day, Tod and Copper admit their mistakes and are friends again. Hoping to amend for his doings, Tod gives Bickerstaff's hat to Copper, who uses it to track down the talent scout at a local diner. Tod tricks Cash and Dixie into thinking the other is in trouble, and the entire band end up meeting up at the diner. Copper convinces the band the importance of harmony, and The Singin' Strays howl a reprise of their song We're in Harmony, attracting the attention of the talent scout and reuniting the band. Impressed with the band, he arranges for the dogs to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. The film ends with Copper choosing to leave the band and play with Tod again.

Review:
Please Spare Me. When I was a child, I absolutely adored Disney's The Fox and the Hound.It was quite a dark drama focusing on the struggle of preserving a friendship when really the two different animals are suppose to be enemies in nature.
I still found it to be a very good animated feature with some memorable characters and nice pieces of music to listen to.But seriously, was there any need for a sequel when the first movie was released 27 years ago?
The Fox and the Hound 2 isn't as good as the original.
I thought the storyline was weak and predictableThe animation in this film was very impressive but better technology doesn't mean better storytelling.I just didn't think there was any need for a sequel because there was nothing more to add to the story.
Although, showing Tod's cubs might have been good.Overall, this film is nothing special and it's completely inferior to the original.Disney really needs to stop making sequels because if you don't have a good story that is of equal quality to the first movie, what's the point in making a second one?.
The 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.
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.
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 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.
I would recommend that you stick with the first Fox and the Hound movie, just because it's very original and a classic.
'The Fox and the Hound 2' is possibly the worst Disney sequel I've ever seen, seeing as it bears absolutely no resemblance to the original, whatsoever.
It's as if the only thing they took from the original was the characters (and clearly left 'Big Mama' behind).Having said that, I actually don't mind it that much.
Even if the animation wasn't perfect in the original, The characters were extremely detailed there.
But there's some beautiful use of bright colours in this film, which does look fantastic.While Disney sequels are obviously, and automatically going to be inferior to the originals by default, I think this was a pretty good effort, if not way too child-based..
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.
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.
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..
At first I wasn't sure on the idea of watching a sequel but it turned out to be great!
Unfortunately Copper soon seems to have no time for Todd and it strongly affects there friendship.This film was excellent in every way and most of the characters had a good sense of humour!
I recommend this film to everyone who likes the fox and the hound!
Dixie and cash is the only new character I like in this sequel.
Back in the 80's, Disney released an animated film called, "The Fox and the Hound".
The film was about a fox pup and a bloodhound pup becoming friends, even though they are suppose to be enemy's.In 2006, Disney released a direct-to-video sequel called, "The Fox and the Hound 2".
The only thing's I liked about the film was the animation and the voice acting.The problem's with this film is that the song's were pretty forgettable, the plot was really lame and most of the character's from the first one were not in this movie."The Fox and the Hound 2", is just a bad sequel and it's not worth watching at all..
Was really looking forward to seeing this remake of the original Disney animated feature.
Strongly recommend you pass on this version of Fox and Hound...the original is much, much better..
The original Fox and the Hound is a very charming and underrated film.
I agree with every comment that has been made stating that The Fox and the Hound 2 was made in poor taste, and that the story was far inferior to the original.
They 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.
If you're looking for a light-hearted, cute animated movie to enjoy with your family or just by yourself, I would recommend giving this prequel a try.
While I am more of a fan of the original Fox and The Hound movie (which I highly recommend), it still made me smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside.
The animation was mostly good and better than many sequel direct-to-video animated movie releases (Balto sequels, I'm looking at you).
Likewise I think they did a decent job in the voice acting department with the original characters sounding relatively close (moreso for Todd and Copper) enough to what they sounded like in the original movie..
Not only are the sequels pointless, they add no character development nor original story.The fox and the hound in this movie are back on their respective farms.
I guess that is the focus of today.I did not like this movie and had a bad time watching the misadventure.
Please do not bring out another Fox and the Hound movie.
I love this movie I have the first one cause this is like my favorite movie in the whole wide world and when I found out that there was a second one I begged my parents to get it for me for Christmas but they said that they were done there shopping but when Christmas came and I opened the gifts there it was the fox and the hound 2....Ive watch the movie like 20 times I cant get enough of this movie at all I love the music in it I want to get the soundtrack does anybody know when its coming out....Anyways in the movie Reba she is soooo funny I love her so much I watch her show Reba all the time I have all 4 of them and cant wait till the 5th one comes out.....anyways Love the movie I hope there will be another one about when they are older....
I know the animation better than many other Disney sequels, but that just adds to the insult of this pointless cashgrab.
There was a period of Separation in the original and not them joining a stupid band of dogs singing country music.
Of all the Disney movies that did not need a midquel this is one of them, and worst of all it makes no sense and do not tie into the original story AT ALL!
As much as I absolutely despise Belle's Magical World it at the very least ties into the time when Belle was held in Beast's castle (even though I still refuse to acknowledge them as Belle and Beast), but The Fox & The Hound 2 is just a completely different movie with no reason to exist other than being a cashgrab..
If you're looking for a sequel to the original movie, this is not it!
The original fox and the hound was very dark and always left me feeling sad.
My little 2 year old boy wanted to watch fox and the hound and this came with the dvd.
No extreme heartbreaking drama...just a fun movie with great music and adorable playful plot.
To sum it all up, this movie has good story, good animation, funny humour, very likable characters and finally super music score.
I give it 9/10, but I would like if Disney didn't put number 2 in title as this is midquel, not a sequel..
Actually, this film was more fun to watch than the original, which was very slow at times.
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.
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.
(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.
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.
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..
Okay I loved the first fox and the hound it was a really charming Disney film about a hound and a fox be coming best friends and the owner of the fox's best friend trys to kill him which was a little bit too dark for kids but I did not find fox and the hound 2 to be good as the first the plot was okay but this movie miss out on some characters from the first film like where is big mama or dinky or the other characters like Toad's girlfriend where is she I thought in the first one that they would of got to gather and have a family but in this one it never says what happen to her the songs in it where okay the some of the new characters where good some of them not but no thence all you fans this movie but this movie does not even light up to the first film This movie is probably great for kids but older fans of the first film are going to be disappointed so if you want a good movie thats just as good as the first or almost then go and buy Toy story 2 or Herbie rides again but if you want an okay movie then go and get An Extremely Goofy movie this movie is very disappointing I give this movie a 2 out of 10..
Thwe voices were all wrong, the story line was off topic from where we left off, like most Disney sequels, and none of the original people, voices or behind the scenes, were the same.
Because in the last movie, basically the fox and hound meet, the hound goes away, becomes a hunting dog, comes back, the fox gets in trouble, the hound wants revenge, and in the end they are friends but aren't allowed to communicate.This one, suddenly they are little again and STAY little throughout the whole film...
(Because of the title's long name, I will refer to it as TFATH 2) The animation was stunning, and the characters were very smooth and polished, like most of Disney's DTV followups.
It's all right.So, what's good about The Fox and the Hound 2?
Same with the design of the Strays' trailer and its 'woman's touch' from Dixie.I'm still dismayed to see sneak peeks for Cinderella 3 and The Little Mermaid 3 on the DVD, but at least this movie gives me hope that somebody still may know what they're doing making these sequels.
I like to imagine a world where everyone's a dog and there are musicians along the lines of the Singin' Strays anyway, but even without such a love for this type of thing, you can appreciate the movie.
The Fox and the Hound is a classic Disney movie, a strong storyline and which this one lacked by far, the story of this movie was weak and unstable.
Tod and Copper were greatly remade near perfection in this film, like a copy and paste from the firstwhitch was great I thought.
The fox and the hound was a happy, sad, cute and heart wrenching story, to this day I still cry to it.
But this film lacked every thing the story of the cute dog and fox had in the first film.
This was better off being a completely new original film.
Fox and the Hound 2 is one of those cheap direct-to-DVD sequels made by Disney, and strayed away from the original.
It has none of the charm of the original, the comedy within the picture is not funny, in fact, the title of the movie is Fox and Hound 2, and yet, it makes us feel like we're paying less attention to the Fox and the Hound.
But, still, it's one of the worst Disney movies I have seen in my life.
For those of you who don't know, the first Fox and the Hound was one of Disney's most adult works.
It was about a fox (Todd) who lived near his neighbor who was a hound (Copper).
I don't care if Todd and Copper look cute or if the animation's better, the first movie was about how life is not simple.
If you had watched the first Fox and the Hound, you would see that the tone has a great mix between uplifting and melancholy moments that adds a sense of depth and growth to not only the characters, but the entire film as a whole.
This "sequel" (if it can be called that) ruins that perfect sense of balance and has the usual Disney sequel problem of being far to frivolous, as compared to the original tone of the movie.
Second, within the first 10 minutes of the film, all the hope that I had for it being a great sequel to an amazing classic had vanished.
This movie has only been watched because the individuals who had watched the original recognize the name and think that it would perhaps appreciate to see what had happened after the events that had unfolded in The Fox and the Hound.
Very disappointing movie and Disney should be ashamed for tarnishing the name of such a great classic.
While the original left a great implant upon my heart, this one will leave nothing but a sad thought that they could have at least tried with this sequel..
I was searching through animated Disney GIF and found The Fox and the Hound 2 from 2006.2006 had a lot of animated movies, and this was one of the better.But, don't come in and expect Dumbo.At least the hand drawn Don Bluth like animation style is kept.This is about Todd and Copper as cubs where they are at the fair, and are meeting a band of Country dogs.These dogs want to go to Grand Ole Opry.Copper joins the band, but it ends in conflict.The animation, voice acting and the songs are great.It's a great all star cast.But this is too short, and could had used 30 minutes more.Such a shame that this movie drowned in the row of 2006 Blockbusters.If you love Country, lighthearted fun and dog movies Watch this.8/10.
I admit, once I saw the trailer for The Fox and the Hound 2, I thought it was just going to be yet another Disney sequel that completely butchers the original...how wrong I was.
I even enjoyed the country songs throughout the movie (my favorite being "Good Doggie; No Bone") and country is one of the genres of music that I hate!
The plot is Copper can't seem to find anything that he is good at and Tod suggests that he joins the Singing Strays (a band of stray dogs) and the local fair.
If I saw a baby fox singing country music I would've stopped the film right then and there..
Its not only pointless it doesn't have any logic when you look at the first movie you would definitely know that ''The Fox and the Hound 2'' couldn't ever happen like ''The Beauty and the Beast'' sequels I think the only Disney midquel that had sense is Bambi II.The animation look fine I guess but Todd looks nothing like the original, Big Mama, Dinky and Boomer didn't appear in this movie, new characters they look fine, Copper wanted to be a dog singer ...
