Cap und Capper (1981)

Cap und Capper: Directed by Ted Berman, Richard Rich, Art Stevens, David Hand, Wolfgang Reitherman. With Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russell, Pearl Bailey, Jack Albertson. A little fox named Tod, and Copper, a hound puppy, vow to be best buddies forever. But as Copper grows into a hunting dog, their unlikely friendship faces the ultimate test.

“One of Disneyu0026#39;s finest motion pictures, extremely underrated and forgotten to a pulp. Kurt Russell, Mickey Rooney and even Corey Feldman all give their talent to this story of a fox and a hound who become friends, only to turn on themselves in later years because they are expected to. Not only is the film engaging, but it also has a metaphorical story going on. I understand it is supposed to represent humans and racism, but apart from the preachiness of it all the film is quite good on the level of a whole. A definite must-see. The ending is bittersweet and at many times during the film you will actually start to feel for these creatures. On a sidenote, I used to have a dog just like the one in this movie. It was just like the one in this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e**** 1/2 out of *****”
