Mannix about two friends who didn't know they were supposed to be enemies. Tod, an orphaned baby fox, and Copper, a young hunting dog, face challenges in their friendship as they grow up and discover they are on opposite sides on "the game". This feature film about unlikely friends and anthropomorphic animals was a collaborative work by Disney's most talented animators, old and new. The Fox and the Hound marked a major transition inside the Disney Animation Studios.  During the films four year production period, Disney experienced a significant changing of the guard.  In 1977, Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, John Pomeroy and others in the animation department left Disney to set up their own animation studio, Don Bluth Studios.  The final version of the film, released in 1981  marked the premiere effort of a new generation of Disney animators-- these same talented artists would go on to create The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Veteran animators Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Cliff Nordberg worked on early scenes and character development for the film, but the final product represented the combined talent and imagination of a new team.
