Too scary for younger viewers - lots of guns and animal fights
A cute movie with some really loveable characters. However, it's pretty scary from a toddler's perspective. The fox is constantly being shot at the, the fox's mother is killed during the opening credits, there is a fire started to smoke out the foxes, use of metal animal traps, and many animal pelts showcased as the hunter's bounty. Not to mention a terrifying fight with a massive, red eyed bear at the end. As far as young ones go, this may be one of the more upsetting Disney movies. Some high points were the personalities showcased - the old lady who adopts the fox is wonderful, as is Mama owl and the two silly birds that spend the movie trying to get a little worm (who eventually turns into a beautiful butterfly).
While this movie does have some redeeming messages about friendship, it was very scary for my 3 & 5 year olds. It had too many scenes with chasing and guns. While I knew going into it that it had a hunter in it, I didn't realize just how often he would be chasing the fox and shooting after him.
" when you have a natural attraction you deserve a mutuall reaction, you gonna get a whole lot of satisfaction..." really a questionable song that ends well. Otherwise, perfect movie. All other aspects are beatufull, emotional and thought provoking.
This movie came out after I stopped watching Disney movies so I had never seen it. It's an ok movie plot-wise except for three scenes. I didn't like the bear attack scene in the end although my 5 year old son was howling with excitement. He did not want to watch the scene where Amos is setting bear traps in the woods - we skipped that section. The main section that made him cry out loud and stop the movie until we talked about it was when Copper yells at Tod and says he will never forgive him, will never be friends and will "get him for this". It really upset my empathatic little fella. So maybe wait until they are older til you watch if you have a sensitive child.
Its a good movie ppl may say its a baby move but its not it HAS A GROWN UP idea 2 kids(copper and todd) that are friends have to be separate because of tradition.
MY 11 love it she say that it had i lot of friendship BUT a sad ending.
MY 5 yaer old said there were to many guns and the bad guy broke lots of rules.
Good movie with themes on friendship and redemption. Even my 9 year old shed tears at end. 4-7 year olds scared of bear scene. Is overly ferocious and may give nightmares
