The Fox and the Hound has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. When the 2-Movie Collection came, I couldn’t wait to share it with my favorite movie buddy because I was her age when I first saw it myself.

Once my Zoe and I began watching the original in the late afternoon, we didn’t move until hours later when both movies and a great deal of the bonus material had been played. Both feature a wonderful story of friendship, amazing animation and voice talent.

As with all of my classic Disney favorites, the best part is sharing a piece of my childhood with my little princess.

One of the great things about living around Walt Disney World is that we are never lacking for visitors and house guests. Recently we hosted some friends who had recently spent a number of months working in India. They told us stories about their first hand experiences within the culture including India’s vast film industry.

Ironically enough, Disney’s first set of Indian films for North America came to the house the same week. It was great to watch the trio of films, and get insight into another culture with people who had firsthand experience and insight.

Although it was a different experience from what we were used to, the films were quite enjoyable and easy to follow despite the subtitles. We really enjoyed sharing this look into foreign films with friends, and it is something we would definitely do again!!!
