Sorry for the bump, but I figured this news deserved one.

DavisDVD has posted very teeny tiny coverart for anyone who is interested. The funny thing is that Todd actually looks more on-model in this one than in the original's cover.

Only slightly. It's still ugly, though.

ew that cover art is worse then the cover art for the original movie

The artwork for The Fox and the Hound is better looking then this midsequel cover.

Disney does horrible job on mid sequels cover or sequels covers.

Well the cover has been completely overhauled, and is now much better IMO.

The lettering is a bit blocky, but I think that's probably just for the promo art, i think the real thing will be subtler.

I do like this cover better than the other one.

It's much better, but Copper looks like he's been hit in the nose :S and Tod looks a bit off too. Maybe it's just me!

How could I have missed this thread?

Fox and the Hound is among my favorites, and IMO is one of the more emotional movies from Disney's side. I'm kinda torn on the subject of a sequal; on one hand it shows that Disney actually considers the movie worth making a sequal/prequal/midqual for. On the other, I haven't been all too big a fan of squals made for my other favorites. I guess I'll just have to wait and see which way this goes?

I do think the trailer is quite good though. Not the strongest storyline but then again, it's hard to add a story in-between another story, without messing with the run of it. The coverart's looking good

cute cover

i love it

but the characters still look a bit off lol

the new character art seems way off model.

Well duh! It's a direct to video sequel! They look off model on the cover, because they will look off model in the actual film!

*slaps self in the face* haha, how could I have missed that . Honestly, Copper is on ugly lil pup on this, I keep looking at his nose!

I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy The Fox and the Hound 2, or even see it. I'm actually afraid of what will happen in Disney sequels, will they change my perception of the original film, and what I think of it? Like Bambi 2, its had fairly good reviews for a sequel, and is still avaliable in Australia, but I don't know if I should see it.
I prefer the more recent cover of the sequel.....except for Copper's nose, and what's with his eyes being closed on the original's cover?
Although I don't think Australia will be getting either of these covers.

its wierd though considering how on model the other one was. they got the characters down perfectly before.

Bambi II is a must-see! I loved it just as much as the original...and I'm not overexaggerating. It stays true to the original feel of Bambi.

But anyway, I'm looking forward to The Fox and the Hound 2. Of course it won't come close to the original, but that doesn't mean it won't be good.
I wish they had the original voices of Todd and Copper though. Those voices just make them so loveable when they're little.

Is it just me or does that dog look way too much like Reba McEntire?

I know she voices it and all. But something's gotta be wrong when a human transfers that well into an animal.

I'll be buying on December 12th! I love sequels!

LOL! Kudos to you for that!

But try telling that to my friend Brittany! She'd have a cow! She loves Reba.

Buena Vista Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Fox and the Hound 2 for 12th December 2006 priced at $29.99 SRP. This direct-to-video sequel to the 1981 animated original offers a timeless, tune-filled tale of enduring relationships, delivering the simple, yet powerful message that true bonds run deep and genuine friendships can’t be broken.

Presented in 1.78:1 Anamorphic Widescreen with DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio (English and French language options) extras include…

The Making of the Music - For nearly 80 years, Disney has ensured that music and animation go hand-in-hand. See how the film’s songs were created by Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood and some of the hottest performers in Nashville. Discover how Disney melds animation and music to develop and enhance the film’s story.

“You Know I Will” Music Video performed by Lucas Grabeel - Lucas Grabeel, best known for his performance as singing/dancing sensation Ryan in the Disney Channel phenomenon High School Musical, graduates to big-time animation in singing this end credit song.

Mutt Mix Master - Mr. Bickerstaff, the talent scout from the The Fox and the Hound 2 who discovered The Singin’ Stays, needs your help.

All the guitars and growls, all the barks and bass -- it’s under your command as you create a tail-thumping musical performance.
