Today is the thirty-fifth anniversary of the premiere of The Fox and the Hound. A much more lighthearted version of the Daniel P. Mannix novel, it is the twenty-fourth film by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film follows a red fox named Tod and a hound named Copper as they grow up best friends but are forced to become enemies. At the time, it was the most expensive animated film ever made, and became a minor hit for Disney though was highly praised for its animation.
