The Fox and the Hound

The Fox and the Hound 2

Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Yellow Loop. Today we are sharing movie night ideas based on Disney movies from the 80s.
One of my favorite Disney movies growing up was The Fox and the Hound.  In terms of Disney movies from childhood, The Fox and the Hound is second only behind The Rescuers.  In my opinion, it is a great movie that has stood the test of time which makes it perfect for an 80’s Disney Movie Night.
