History Characters / TheFoxAndTheHound

* KillItWithWater: [[spoiler:This is how he meets his end via the classic DisneyVillainDeath.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: As Tod saves Copper from and Amos from him, Copper returns the favor by refusing to let Amos kill Tod.]]

* NoSell: Subverted. The shot from Amos's gun give a him glancing blow to the shoulder and treats viewers [[FreezeFrameBonus brief]] glimpse of the resulting wound but if anything, it just makes him go from simply territorial to straight-up homicidal.
* OhCrap: Can be very briefly seen with this expression after he destroys the log he and Todd are atop as he falls to his doom.

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:The Bear swipes at Tod who's standing on a log, completely forgetting that not only ''he himself'' was standing on the log as well, he was way too strong and can ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard easily snap said log in half]]'', which is exactly what happened. Cue a DisneyVillainDeath for the bear involving a [[KillItWithWater watery grave]].]]

* HateSink: He is introduced right after the Widow Tweed has to leave Tod at the preserve in the rain. Heartlessly, the old badger turns Tod away during the fox's darkest and neediest moment. The next day, Mr. Digger is even more cruel. He angrily tells Tod to "go back where [he] came from." (Maybe the badger is more of a clueless grouch than a sadist, but the timing of everything he does makes him anything but endearing.)

** Fortunately for Tod (and Vixey later on).
** This almost gets him killed at the climax because when attacked by the bear, the most he manages is to graze his shoulder.

Two friends -- a sparrow (Dinky) and a woodpecker (Boomer)-- who are seen either helping Big Mama act out a plan or trying to catch Squeaks, a caterpillar.

* EvilPoacher: Averted, as Slade only poaches once in the film, but that is out of revenge.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: A lot of Amos' vendetta with Tod is caused by the latter unwittingly framing himself as antagonizing his property. At one point Amos spots him mid-chase with Chief after a bunch of chickens have been let out and are outrunning Tod.

* ApronMatron: Widow Tweed is kind and caring towards her animals, especially Tod, but if you mess with any of them, you will face the consequences.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Dixie, Vixey, Trixie, or Vixie?

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Fortunately for Tod (and Vixey later on).

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: He is just there to give the movie a big sinister thing to fight forr the film's climax. The movie is otherwise about the strained friendship between the titular duo.

* NearVillainVictory: Amos and Copper corner Tod and Vixey who are on a log and have nowhere to go. He [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this by saying "Copper. We trapped them now". The only reason he doesn't shoot them is the bear's interruption.

Amos Slade is a cantankerous old hunter, who is Widow Tweed's neighbor and the owner of Copper and Chief. He serves as the primary antagonist in the film, mainly after Tod due to Tod antagonizing his chickens.

* AgeLift: In the book, he was the favoured younger dog to the jealous elderly Copper. In the film the two are reversed (though Chief's contempt for Copper is far less callous).

* FromStrayToPet: Zigzagged. Tod originally was taken in by Twee when he was an orphaned cub. However, when he became an adult, she decided to [[ShooTheDog abandon him in the wild]] to protect from a vengeful Amos.

* KnightOfCerebus: Takes things in the movie to a ''whole'' different level. He only shows up during the climax, and when he does, he outweighs any threat BigBad Amos Slade might have played towards the heroes, and Tod ironically and inadvertendly ends saving Slade from the bear.

->'''Voiced by''': Sandy Duncan; Jeanine Forney (European French dub)

* CleanDubName: In the German dub, she's called "Trixie" because "Vixey" sounds like "wichsen," a German term for [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]] or "ficken" (the German [[SevenDirtyWords F-word).]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Jeanette Nolan (first film), Creator/RussiTaylor (midquel); Jane Val (first film), Creator/ClaudeChantal (midquel) (European French dub)

* AnimalsNotToScale: This bear is '''much''' larger than a real black bear, or even a brown bear. Even all fours he is taller than Amos.
