The Fox and the Hound

WALT DISNEY STUDIO
The Fox and the Hound (1981) 
original production animation drawing
red and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 6.5" x 5.25"

This original rough animation drawing of Amos Slade, the film's villain and owner of Copper and Chief, was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in the animated feature. Amos Slade is one of the few Disney villains who finds a measure of redemption at film's end, as Copper prevents him from shooting Tod and one glimpses a better man in the old hunter's countenance. The animator wrote the designation "210" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
