It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape
From Vault Disney! And for our third episode of What Would Walt
Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to
pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything
going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a
timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a
once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of
future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull
dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations,
instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry
message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a
pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate
Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some
incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators
to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how.
Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony
Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try
to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!
