The Fox and the Hound

Episode Summary


Erin and Rachel unpack The Fox and the Hound (1981), the
most expensive Disney animated film up to that point, due largely
to conflict amongst the film makers. They discover that even a
movie about the best of friends isn’t immune to racism in the
form of Black stereotypes and underlying messages about
segregation.
