** The scene where Tod treks through the copse where Copper and Amos laid waiting is just as eerie. Despite Tod not realizing he was being hunted and the copious amounts of bear traps that lied in wait for him, the unnerving silence and shadiness of the whole brush (as Vixie warned) is enough to visibly put him on edge. He gets so unnerved at one point that he pauses (just vicinal of Amos and Copper's hiding spot) as if somehow sensing the imminent danger. Then Tod hears the one [[HellIsThatNoise perilous noise]] he knows better than any animal in the reserve: [[DramaticGunCock the cocking of a rifle]]; this causes Tod to immediately start doubling back and he just narrowly avoids get his feet caught in the beartraps as they're set off.

* A simple difference between the novel and the film: Tod and Copper are never friends.
* Tod and Copper's personalities, for some. Their ''very'' [[BlueAndOrangeMorality inhuman priorities and morals (or lack thereof)]] pitch some readers into a case of TooBleakStoppedCaring.
* The effects of rabies and strychnine on their victims. And the way strychnine just ''keeps'' passing up the food chain. Both are made all the more awful by being chilling TruthInTelevision.
** The rabies outbreak is almost like a ''zombie'' outbreak, the way the foxes and other animals slowly succumb to agonizing illness and mindless aggression.
** That's not far from the truth. Rabies attacks the brain and central nervous system. By the time the "mindless aggression" stage happens, most of what we would consider one's mind is simply gone, eaten by the virus.
* A lot of Tod's closer shaves with death are ''horrifying.'' In particular, he gets a few close calls when he learns about steel traps, but always figures out ways to spring them safely, and begins to make a game out of doing so. Then one day he pushes his luck too far, is fooled by a new bit added onto a trap to make it spring easily, and gets caught. He escapes and keeps his foot, but not without essentially ripping himself free, and he's slightly crippled from that point on.
** Later on, his first mate is also caught in a trap, and doesn't get out again.
* Tod's death. He's not shot, not caught in a trap, not ripped apart by dogs. He's chased for more than 24 hours by Copper, until he drops dead of exhaustion moments before Copper even reaches his body.
* The death of Tod's first litter. His biggest pup gets into the habit of stealing chickens, and draws the ire of a farmer, who calls on Copper's master to help. They find the den, and pump car exhaust into it. Since there's only one tunnel, it's a death trap.

** Copper getting mercilessly swatted by the bear is pretty brutal, even for Disney. So brutal in fact, that even ''Tod'', the fox he's been tracking down is ''horrified'' to see his childhood friend nearly getting killed in a vicious fight.

** The rabies outbreak is almost like a ''zombie'' outbreak, the way the foxes and other animals slowly succumb to agonizing illness and mindless aggression.
* A lot of Tod's closer shaves with death are ''horrifying.'' In particular, he gets a few close calls when he learns about steel traps, but always figures out ways to spring them safely, and begins to make a game out of doing so. Then one day he pushes his luck too far, is fooled by a new bit added onto a trap to make it spring easily, and gets caught. He escapes and keeps his foot, but not without essentially ripping himself free, and he's slightly crippled from that point on.

* Chief getting hit by the oncoming train in his obsessive effort to kill Tod. Even Amos is shouting at him to get out of the way, and all Chief can do is look upon the train in sheer terror as he realizes his mistake far too late, and is sent flying into the ravine below much to Copper's grief. It truly is a miracle that the worst he suffered was a busted leg. Unfortunately, it also triggers Copper's newfound hatred for Tod as he vows revenge for his friend's brush with death.

* Just the way the movie opens itself is enough to instill a sense of foreboding dread in the viewer. It opens on an OminousFog-shrouded screen with no music at all, apart from a low, keening wind that just ''sounds'' cold before the film's title card appears on the screen, which itself lends to the opening's ominous atmosphere. Something about the font and its color, which is so similar in tone to the fog in the background it feels as if the title is forming out of the fog itself, just sets your hair on end, and lets you know right from the get-go that this is ''[[DarkerAndEdgier not]]'' going to be your standard happy-go-lucky Disney film.
