I am a huge Disney fan and couldn’t wait to introduce The Fox and the Hound to Bug.  We were able to review the Blu-ray combo pack.  It comes with both The Fox and the Hound and The Fox and the Hound 2 on blu-ray and DVD. Bug has immediately fallen in love with both movies.  He has been watching them over and over and can’t seem to get enough. He has been saying “I’m a hound dog” a lot and it’s so cute :). I really enjoyed watching the first again as it had been a while since I had seen it.  Neither of us had seen the second one and we enjoyed it as well.  This is a must have to add to your family movie collection!

“Further engaging fans and families beyond the story itself, Disney has included five unique bonus features that provide consumers with the ability to further immerse themselves in the storyline, its history and characters themselves with an entertaining look inside the fascinating collection of unlikely friendships in the animal kingdom, Disney’s historic and legendary animators, the making of the music and more.  They are as follows:
