Trivia:
Animator Glen Keane, who was given the task of animating the climactic battle between Tod and the bear, felt that the storyboards he was given were not dramatic enough, so he re-boarded the whole scene. He also planned to draw the fight in charcoal rather than pencil, but budgetary concerns prevented this. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the end when the Widow Tweed is wrapping Amos Slade's foot, the bandage is shown to be halfway up his foot. After she tweaks his toe, it shows the bandage to only be wound up to his ankle. moreSoundtrack:

This has got to be one of the most underappreciated Disney classics yet. The Fox and the Hound is probably the most heartwarming Disney film yet. It mixes humor, action, and romance as well as any other Disney film, except for a select few such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, or Tarzan. Nevertheless, I cannot believe this is rated only a 6.6. Several Disney films that are rated above this movie come nowhere near close to it in quality (i.e. Snow White, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, etc...). I cannot comprehend how it is rated so low...9/10 (Ranks right up there with the likes of Robin Hood and Pinocchio).
