Fox and Hound

The Fox and the Hound- I remember watching movie as a kid. Had the VHS tape, as a kid and remember watching it. Now watching it as adult, its so different. You watch it as a adult, its different than watching it as a kid. Cause you understand more about whats happening, you understand more about the plot and whats going on during the story than as a kid.

The plot: After his mother is killed, Tod the fox (Mickey Rooney) is taken in by the kindly Widow Tweed (Jeanette Nolan). He soon befriends the neighbor's new hound dog, Copper (Kurt Russell). The two are inseparable, but their friendship is hampered by their masters and by the fact that they are, by nature, enemies. They grow apart as they grow older; Copper has become a strong hunting dog and Tod a wild fox. The pair must overcome their inherent differences in order to salvage their friendship.

Its a story about friendship, betrayal, overcoming nature and getting older.

Its a great movie and classic.

Mrs. Fletcher is okay for a light read. It's about a single mother in her mid-40's that is adjusting to life as an empty nester. She decides that she should use the time to regain some of her life, so she enrolls in a course at the local community college that meets one evening a week, after work. She meets a small group of very different personalities, which become friends throughout the course. She also explores the very personal and intimate side of her life while she is alone. The novel is laced with lighthearted humor all the way through, but a few of the characters are spoiled or polarizing, so it's easy to feel annoyed with them. She finds a side to her that she didn't know or at least, remember, was there. It's a cute story at times, but kind of over-the-top and self-indulgent for some characters at other times. Fine for a light read, but I won't be recommending it for book club or to certain friends. I could take it or leave it.
