The Fox and the Hound & The Fox and the Hound 2 on Blu-ray Hi-Def & DVD Combo Pack!

08.31.2011 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

It is so awesome to be able to relive things from my childhood with my girls. The Fox and the Hound was one of my favorite movies!  I loved it so so much!  I didn’t even know there was a part 2!

Watching this movie with the girls made me release how good movies for kids used to be.  It’s hard to find that anymore.  You really have to be choosy in what you let your kids watch.  We moderate TV in our home to be sure that there isn’t too much junk being fed to the girls.

The Fox and the Hound is a great family movie. It teaches some great lessons about friendship.  The girls have already watched it several times! They love it!  Isn’t it cool to share things like this with our own children?  The image quality is amazing!  They sure have come a long way!

The Fox and the Hound & The Fox and the Hound Two (Three-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging) was released earlier this month. It’s been digitally restored as well. It;s hard to believe that this movie came out in 1981!

Disney has included 5 bonus features! They are as follows:

Blu-ray Disc:

· Unlikely Friends: A fun and fascinating Collection of Unlikely Friendships in the Animal Kingdom (ALL-NEW) — Friendships know no boundaries. They can occur across country lines, be shared among young and old and even develop between different species!

DVD’s:

· The Fox and the Hound:

o “Best of Friends” Sing-A-Long – Viewers are invited to sing along with Pearl Bailey on this Walt Disney Classic Song.

o Passing the Baton: Making of The Fox and the Hound – This feature allows fans to take a deeper look at this little bit of Disney history as legendary animators hand over the reins to a new generation.

· The Fox and the Hound 2 :

o “You Know I Will” Music Video – High School Musical Star Lucas Grabeel sings this end-credit song.

o The Making of the Music – Music is the center stage in The Fox and the Hound 2. As such, this feature showcases how the songs in the film were created with Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood and some of the hottest performers in Nashville. Viewers will further discover how animation and music work together to further enhance a classic story.

The Fox and The Hound, Disney’s 24th animated feature released in 1981, marked a “changing of the guard” from the legendary “nine old men,” including Wolfgang Reitherman, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, who had joined the studio its very early days and worked closely with Walt Disney to develop Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the very first animated feature, then went on to create timeless classics such as Cinderella,Bambi and Lady and the Tramp. These iconic figures passed the torch to a new generation of animators including Ron Clements (Animated Screenplay/Story Artist on The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid) Glen Keane (Animation Supervisor/Directing Animator on Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid) and John Musker (Animation Supervisor/Directing Animator on Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid), who would lead Disney animation’s renaissance in the 1980’s with new landmark animated films such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

The voice talent on The Fox and the Hound was also a mix of old and new Hollywood with veterans such as Mickey Rooney (National Velvet, The Black Stallion), Pearl Bailey (Porgy and Bess) and Pat Buttram (TV’s “Green Acres”) joining up-and-coming stars Kurt Russell (Escape From New York, Miracle) and Corey Feldman (Stand By Me, The Lost Boys).

In 2006, Copper, Tod and their friends were brought back for The Fox and the Hound 2, featuring the vocal talents of Patrick Swayze (Ghost, Dirty Dancing), Reba McEntire (TV’s “Reba”), Lucas Grabeel (Disney Channel’s “High School Musical” franchise) and Trisha Yearwood (country music singer).
