How does fox and hound end

Big Mama and Vixey arrive and see him, feeling sad for him. As Vixey remarks that he looks downhearted, Big Mama tells her, "He was dropped out here all alone without a friend in the world. He first tries to impress her by catching a fish, only to fail, causing her to laugh at him.

Angry and hurt, he insults her, telling her that she's a silly empty-headed female. Angered by this, Vixey refuses to talk to him, but Big Mama intervenes with the song " Appreciate the Lady " and directs Tod in being himself and to give Vixey another chance. And so they get along very well once he admits his lack of survival skills. Vixey is now aware of his inability to survive in the wild and helps him adapt.

She allows him to be her friend and stay with her in the forest. And just like that, begin to develop a romantic connection. The next morning, the vengeful Amos and Copper trespass into the game preserve to hunt Tod without anyone knowing. Amos finds a shadowy path on the way to a pond, sets up three leg-hold traps along it, and hides them with leaves. The next morning, Tod and Vixey emerge from Vixey's burrow, having spent the night there.

They both remark about how happy they are with one another and playfully chase each other into the forest. As they come to the trap-laden path, Vixey becomes worried and refuses to go on, but Tod just shrugs it off. She warns him to be careful as he goes down alone.

As he walks, he becomes unsettled. His foot uncovers one of the traps and as Amos cocks his shotgun, his ears perk up the noise and he steps backward. Luckily, he narrowly escapes the traps, turning and running as fast as he can whilst Amos' gunshots ring out and Copper takes off after him and Vixey as the next chase begins. He buys her more time to escape then waits for Copper to come closer.

As the hound approaches, Tod distracts him, snarling at him. After a brief fight, Tod sprints back to Vixey's burrow with Copper behind his tail. He safely enters it, but Copper is too big to follow him inside and begins thrashing and clawing his way into it.

Tod and Vixey attempt to exit out the other end, but are stopped by Amos taking aim at them. After failing to shoot them, he takes a match and some straw and creates a fire in the back way, blocking their escape. He then joins Copper at the front, ready to shoot them both. Vixey coughs and tells Tod that they're trapped and that she's scared. Nevertheless, he tells her that it is their only chance and they sprint as fast as they can out the back, narrowly avoiding the flames to Amos' astonishment, putting him in pure shock.

They scale a mountain with a waterfall nearby as Copper and Amos follow them up to the top where they escape by going across an old fallen trunk. Once the hunting duo is at the top of the hill, Amos takes aim at a bush, thinking Tod and Vixey are in it, but finds that the chase climaxes when he and Copper inadvertently provoke an attack from a large disturbed sleeping grizzly bear who they accidentally antagonize. Amos fires only one single shot, and only hurts the bear, who swipes at him and sends him falling down the ravine, losing his hat, and dropping his gun on a tree just out of his reach, but being forced to walk backward, and getting his foot caught in one of his own traps.

Copper then jumps in between him and the bear and bravely tries to protect his master and attacks the grizzly bear. Amos frantically tries to free himself, but is not strong enough for the trap's grip which still holds his foot as tight as possible as whilst Copper fights the bear as this vicious battle continues to go on for a while and Copper manages to hold on for a while until the bear hits him to the ground and knocks him out.

When the battles end, he is soon overwhelmed. Tod, hearing Copper's yelping echo looks back and sees the horror of him being nearly killed. At the moment in which the bear closes in and is about to kill Copper, Tod intervenes, rescues him, and jumps on the bear's back, but continues to battle with him, and ends up leading him to the old bridge above the waterfall. Just as he comes close to Tod, he raises his paw and hits the sprinters of the old log which breaks and sends them both falling down the waterfall with the fallen trunk.

The bear presumably dies, while Tod is barely able to make it ashore. Copper approaches Tod as he lays in the lake, amazed at his bravery, despite past events when Amos appears, having freed his foot from the trap and takes aim at Tod. Copper steps in front of his childhood friend and refuses to move away. After several seconds, Amos lowers his gun and leaves with Copper, but not before he and Tod smile goodbye. At home, Widow wraps a cast around Amos' leg while Chief and Copper rest.

Tod avoids the train, but Chief gets hit and suffers a broken leg. Copper sees this and swears vengeance on Tod. Slade figures out where Tod went, but he is undeterred. However, there was always one film that filled me with irregular amounts of joy … and ripped my heart from my chest more than the rest. The Fox and the Hound told the story of Tod, an adopted baby Fox, and Copper, a young hound dog in training.

Tod and Copper were neighbors, and when they were still young a. He spent his days splashing around with Tod and attempting to howl in what might be the cutest two seconds in cinema history.

But even after all that, they were still forced to go their separate ways. Come on, Disney. Turns out, both were voiced by Pat Buttram. Plus, both The Fox and the Hound and Robin Hood have scenes where the main fox character is trying to prevent the Buttram-voiced character from waking up, so this is a reasonable question.

Distant cousins? Re-used voice actors, clever animation, and slight nods to previous work?
