I had the sudden urge to draw the very good boy, Tod, from The Fox and the Hound. 🦊

Disney Random The Fox And The Hound Headcanons

1. After the filming ended Widow Tweed and Amos Slade were closer than they had been, but more work aquatintists who were cordial to each other rather than outright friends. Issue was - for them anyway - that Tod and Copper were friends. They were obviously designed to be friends in their youth, and although the filming of their later years could have gone either way [I.E. bringing them closer together or making them resent each other] it turned out they got closer.

2. The land where Widow Tweed and Amos are based is set on the outskirts of Disney’s side of ToonTown. It’s a forty minute drive to the centre. Good news it has loads of countryside, so dog walkers and couples and the like head to it. Anyway, point is only Widow Tweed’s and Amos’s property's are there. So if they didn’t socialise with each other then they’d literally be left with their respective animals.

3. It didn’t take long for them to arrange a formal meet up for Tod and Copper to reunite at. [And Chief came along to, though he wasn’t really interested in Tod] In later years they’ve joked that the first couple of months were like some sort of custody arrangement. Eventually though they warmed up to each other and after the end of the first year they regarded themselves as friends.

Five years after that they were ‘close friends’, 3 years after that [so 8 years after filming - 1989] Amos asked Tweedy if she would ‘go steady’ and she said yes. It’s at that point that Tod and Copper officially considered themselves brothers.

They’re just partners though and don’t live together. Both like their own space to much. Both are dedicated to their animals though and part of the reason why they didn’t move is that they’d have to uproot them and it didn’t seem fair.

4. Tweedy adopted Vixey [Tod’s love interest] as well. Both are domesticated and live in the house with her.

5. Although in the film Chiefs leg healed up, he does occasionally develop a limp. It was more prominent in his early years when he was closer to his design, but even now at 45 it will still turn up. No pattern, it’s just random. When his leg does play up though he usually just stays at home and rests.

However in later years Amos didn’t think it was fair, so he brought a few things to help Chief out. Now, obviously in normal Human dogs if a dog is limping it’s usually bad news and an indication of a serious problem, but this is Toon world, so it isn’t as bad.

Chief is just bandaged up and holds his leg up and walks on three legs when this happened. Amos used to lift him into his car, now Amos has a little ramp that if Chief runs at he can get up and into the boot. [This also saves Amos’s back. Chief is heavy]

Amos also puts ice/heat on the leg as necessary. He also sometimes takes Chief into Toontown to go to a special swimming pool for non-anamorphic animals so Chief can swim. It works on a few levels - it perks Chief up a bit, the water helps sooth the leg and Chief gets to see other animals except Copper, Tod and Vixey.
