The Fox And The Hound 2 [DVD]

The Fox and the Hound is a beautiful Disney classic which I have reviewed and highly recommend as it's an extremely sweet story and a personal favorite of mine. So I was curious what the sequel was like, if they just prolonged the story or was it new characters? I wasn't too sure if this was a prequel or a re-make of the first film. Because of the way the story was in the first film, this movie didn't make much sense. I wasn't sure if it was just an added story, if it was, it was a bit immature. While the story and characters were cute and perfect for kids, it just didn't do anything for me since I'm such a fan of the first film. I just feel like they shouldn't have ruined the story, the ending to the first film was perfect, we didn't need an additional story of Copper and Todd before they became adults. But it wasn't bad for children as it's just a typical Disney sequel.Todd and Copper are back as young kids, they are having their typical play dates, but Copper is feeling a bit down since he feels that he doesn't have any special talents. After a failed attempt at trying to hunt, Copper's master leaves him home when he takes Chief to the fair for the howling and hunting contest. Todd takes Copper to the fair anyways to cheer him up, and they end up meeting a stray dog singing group who wants Copper to join due to his surprisingly pleasant singing voice/howl. Todd then feels left out, but Dixie, the singer that got kicked out of the band because of Copper, has a few tricks up her sleeve and wants to get back in to the group. Todd in the mean time just wants his best friend back.The Fox and the Hound 2 is an okay Disney sequel just like many of them. But like I said, it just wasn't needed. The movie relies on, like majority of these sequels, computer animation and is just not on par with the original. The additional characters were cute, but they didn't do anything much for the flaky plot. I would recommend that you stick with the original movie, as it's a classic, a beautiful touching masterpiece, everything that this sequel unfortunately is not. I cannot give this movie more than 3 stars.
