== The story ==
The movie begins when a baby fox is orphaned after his mama is killed by hunters. An owl named Big Mama and her two bird friends, a [[sparrow]] named Dinky and a [[woodpecker]] named Boomer, arrange for him to be adopted by a [[widow]] named Widow Tweed. She names him Tod, since he reminds her of a [[toddler]].

Meanwhile, 
WidowTweed's neighbor, a hunter named Amos Slade, brings home a young hound puppy named Copper and introduces him to his hunting dog Chief. Tod and Copper become playmates, and vowpromise to remain "friends forever."

Amos Slade sometimes gets angry at Copper for always running off to play, and puts a leash on him. While playing with Copper at his home, Tod awakens Chief. Amos and Chief chase him until they are stopped by WidowTweed.

After an argument, Amos says that he wants to kill Tod and he' will do anything to get him. When hunting season comes he takes the dogs and goes on a hunting trip. Meanwhile, Big Mama tells Tod that his friendship with Copper cannot continue, asbecause they are natural enemies, but Tod does not want to believe her.

Months pass, and Tod and Copper are now adults. On the night when Copper returns, Tod comes and asks if they are still friends. Copper says that "those days are over." and that "I'm a hunting dog now."

Copper warns Tod that Chief will wake up but Tod says that Chief does not worry him. Chief wakes up anyway and alerts Amos Slade. They chase Tod and Copper finds him. Copper lets Tod go and leads Chief and Amos to go a different way then to Tod, and Tod tries to escape on a railroad track. But Chief finds him and chases Tod, and when a moving train suddenley comes fast, Tod is able to duck under the vechicle, and when the train sails right over Tod, Chief is now struck and wounded when being knocked off the bridge. Copper and Amos blame Tod for Chief's accident and they swear vengeance tothat they will get them if it' is the last thing they do.

WidowTweed knows that Tod is no longer safe with her and leaves him in a game preserve. Big Mama introduces him to a lady fox named Vixey, where things seem perfect, but Amos and Copper tresspass into the preserve and hunt the two foxes. But while Amos and Copper are trying to find Tod and Vixey, they accidentally provoke an attack from a [[bear]] which suddenley attacks them. Amos trips and gets caught in one of his own traps and his gun falls just out of his reach, and Copper tries to fight the bear, and he is soon overwhelmed. Against his better judgement, Tod quickly intervenes to save his friend, and he continues to battle the much larger bear and ends up luring him on to an old fallen trunk of a log, which breaks and sends the two both plummeting down the reserve's waterfall.

The bear is killed, and Tod survives, but he is wounded and nearly dead. As Copper approaches Tod as he lies in the lake below, Amos appears and is ready to fire at Tod, but Copper interposeputs his body in front of Tod, and refuses to move away. Amos finally lowers his gun and leaves with Copper, but not before the two former adversarierivals share one last smile before parting. At home, WidowTweed nurses Amos back to health while the dogs rest. Copper, before resting, smiles as he remembers the day when he became friends with Tod. On a hill Vixey joins Tod as he looks down on the homes of Copper and Widow.
