Trivia

 * Differences from the 1981 film:
 * Tod’s parents hide Him in a barn, and they head for a safe place. Even though gunshots are heard, They survive, but the audience don’t know until near the end of the film.
 * Big Mama places Tod in a discarded basket on Tweed’s doorstep.
 * Instead of Tod unintentionally causing a panic in the barn, He just sleeps until His tail is pecked by a chicken.
 * After encountering Copper, Tod plays with Him once a week, just so Neither Chief, nor Slade gets suspicious. Of course, Copper still gets leashed, when Slade decides to have copper keep watch for any chicken thieves.
 * Chief chases Tod in the forest, instead of Slade’s chickens going in a panic, of course, Tweed defended the young fox, as He never did enter Slade’s property.
 * Instead of Chief being hit by a train, seriously injured, He gets attacked by a bear as Tod tries to head for Tweed’s place. Chief survives the ordeal as well, after Slade shoots the bear dead, before any more harm could be done.
 * The Black Bear, from the 1981 movie intentionally attacks Slade with the intent on avenging the death of His mate Slade's father shot.
 * Unlike the original film, Big Mama, Dinky, Boomer, and Chief join the bear fight.
 * after the Bear’s death, Tod, who is seriously injured from the battle, asks Copper to kill Him, feeling He deserved to die, after making Chief go through such pain. But, Copper wouldn’t go through with it. And as Slade was about to shoot Tod, He saw the corpse of the bear, and lets Tod leave in peace and thanks Him for finishing what His father started.
 * After Slade and Copper leave the preserve, Tod’s family slowly come out and reunite with their son.
 * A few months later, Tod And Vixey have three kits of their own, and they visit Copper, whose Mate is about to have puppies in a few days.
