(All of the credits were at the beginning.) The next Disney animated feature, The Black Cauldron (1985), which was also directed by Richard Rich and Ted Berman, was the first one with closing credits. See more » |
Goofs | Amos drops three traps on the ground by Copper. Yet, when he sets them up, we see five traps. Furthermore, Tod springs about half a dozen traps, and there is one left for Amos to accidentally step into. See more » |

Quotes |
Widow Tweed:
We met it seems, such a short time ago. You looked at me, needing me so. Yet from your sadness, our happiness grew. Then I found out, I need you, too. I remember how we used to play. I recall those rainy days, the fires glowed, that kept us warm. And now I find, we're both alone. Goodbye may seem forever, farewell is like the end. But in my heart's a memory, and there you'll always be. See more » |
