Story (Fox and Hound):
Introduction (Fox and Hound):
The “Fox and hound” movie is about the friendship of a Tod and Copper. Tod was a fox and Copper was a hound. Tod was an orphan whose mother sacrificed her life to save his son. She took him to the boundary of a house and hid him in the bushes. After that she presented herself to the hunters but saved her son.
Big Mama’s Help:
At that time, an owl named Big mama was there watching everything. She felt pity for the poor little fox and with the help of her two friends Dinky and Boomer, she wanted to help the baby fox. Together they searched a home for the little fox. It was the house of an old woman named Tweed who lived alone in her home.
Tweed accepted Tod:
When she saw the little fox, she took him with her and named him Tod. On the other side, a hunter Amos Slade, took a hound dog named Copper in his home and introduce him to Chief his hunter dog. At first, Chief didn’t like copper but later accepted him.
Copper and Tod Met:
One day, Copper smelled something strange. He had never smelled that before so he asked Chief but he didn’t focus so started following it on his own and met Tod. They both became good friend and started playing whenever they got a chance. But Amos Slade did not like Copper spending all his time outside in playing so he tied him up with a rope near the barn.
Tod first dangerous experience:
One day, Tod came to Copper’s place to visit him and found him tied with a rope. He wanted to play so they started playing at that place which woke Chief up. After seeing a fox in their property, Chief started to bark which woke Slade. Chief and Slade followed Tod and even fired Gun shots at him.
Slade’s Warning:
Tod hardly managed to escape through the woods. When Slade came to know that the fox was Tweed’s pet, he warned her that if he saw him on his property again he will kill him so tweed started to keep Tod in her house.
Bitter Truth:
When the hunting season started, Slade took chief and copper to hunt so that Copper also became a good hound dog. Meanwhile, Dinky, boomer and Big Mama explained him that he was a hound dog and after his return, their friendship will not remain the same but Tod didn’t accepted.
Copper has changed:
Both of them grew up and when Copper returned, all the things got changed. One day, Tod went to Copper place to meet him but he accidently woke chief and together they all started chasing him. This time copper showed loyalty to their friendship and let him escape but Chief saw Tod.
Chief got injured:
He kept on chasing Tod and reached the railway track. A train hit chief and injured him, breaking his leg and all the blame was on Tod. After this entire scene, Tweed realized that Tod was not safe there anymore so she took him with her and left him in a gaming reserve. Copper and Slade followed them and knew the location of Tod.
Tod in Gaming Reserve:
His first night in the gaming reserve was very hard but the next day, big mama came for help. She found a friend for Tod, a female fox named Vixey. Soon they both became good friends and started living together. One day, Copper and Slade came there and started searching for Tod. They set traps all over the place.
Hunting in Gaming Reserve:
When the animals saw them they hid themselves but Vixey and Tod got trapped. At first they managed to escape and hid in their den but Copper and Slade were still chasing them. They trapped them from setting fire on one side and copper on the other side but their plan failed when they ran to the opposite direction as they thought.
Happy Ending (Fox and Hound):
During their escape, a bear attacked copper and Slade and copper got injured. At that time Tod helped him risking his own life but still Slade didn’t forgive him and aimed at him. Copper stopped him and Vixey and Tod lived happily ever after.
