El zorro y el sabueso 2

'The Fox and the Hound 2' is possibly the worst Disney sequel I've ever seen, seeing as it bears absolutely no resemblance to the original, whatsoever. It's as if the only thing they took from the original was the characters (and clearly left 'Big Mama' behind).

Having said that, I actually don't mind it that much. It's pretty fun, exciting, adventurous, and entertaining for a measly Direct-to-DVD sequel.

Now, on to the animation. While it's easily more visually pleasing than the original, this one's too....cartoony in comparison to the original. Even if the animation wasn't perfect in the original, The characters were extremely detailed there. In this film, they seem to have just grabbed the characters, made them cartoony for the kids, and placed them in this non-stop thrill-ride. But there's some beautiful use of bright colours in this film, which does look fantastic.

While Disney sequels are obviously, and automatically going to be inferior to the originals by default, I think this was a pretty good effort, if not way too child-based.

When I was a child, I absolutely adored Disney's The Fox and the Hound.

It was quite a dark drama focusing on the struggle of preserving a friendship when really the two different animals are suppose to be enemies in nature. I still found it to be a very good animated feature with some memorable characters and nice pieces of music to listen to.

But seriously, was there any need for a sequel when the first movie was released 27 years ago?

The Fox and the Hound 2 isn't as good as the original. I thought the storyline was weak and predictable

The animation in this film was very impressive but better technology doesn't mean better storytelling.

I just didn't think there was any need for a sequel because there was nothing more to add to the story. Although, showing Tod's cubs might have been good.

Overall, this film is nothing special and it's completely inferior to the original.

Disney really needs to stop making sequels because if you don't have a good story that is of equal quality to the first movie, what's the point in making a second one?

As far as my experience with certain Disney sequels I was prepared for either success or failure. I got somewhere in the middle, the animation was lively and the acting good, but in the spirit of the original I didn't think it was quite there. The story failed to elaborate in relation to the original, unlike Bambi II which pulled it with surprising success. Having watched Bambi II I was very much expecting to see something of the same caliber, but this fell a little short. Too many new characters were introduced and several of the old characters didn't even merit a cameo appearance which was a little disappointing.

However, the movie still had it's fair share of cute moments to make you giggle, which was one of it's saving graces. The animation is at a great standard and no obvious flaws to spot and was casted reasonably well. I was concerned when the cover said "The music of today's hottest stars is centre stage" which sounded like a poor effort to grab the attention of any mainstream dolt, but the soundtrack wasn't too bad and had me tapping my toes in a few places.

From the point of view of a Disney cartoon it was a little under powered but it's still got some good laughs and pleasant moments, but don't go expecting the repeat success of the original.

As much it's adorable to see foxes and dogs get along for a change, watching this movie feels almost the complete opposite. The Fox and the Hound 2 is just another pointless sequel that's just for the sake of cashing out the original. Despite how the animation does a good job like how the late straight-to-video Disney sequels would have, the writing for this is a mess. The story is so uninspiring that it doesn't give this any form of motivation as a followup. All we've seen is a boring plot line of Copper abandoning Tod to play the howling band of dogs. The new characters we gotten are pretty unlikable from an ego lead singer who cares about being a star. The voice acting is just hillbilly acting rather than being fateful to the ones from before. And the musical numbers are all unappealing. The original film wasn't meant to be a musical, it only had two songs and they fit nicely to the film. This one is filled with tedious country songs that are pointless and has no actual supportive ones to the plot whatsoever. As Disney sequels usually go, I recommend to skip this one and stick with the original. Even for dog lovers, they would appreciate the original much more than this. This is the kind of talent fair show that's anything but.

3/15/18. I liked the first one. This one was all right. It will be fine for the kids, good animation, easy to understand story.
