Starring: Kurt Russell, Mickey Rooney, Jack Albertson, Pearl Bailey
Continuity mistake: After Dinky tells Big Mama and Boomer his idea, when Boomer flies over to Widow Tweed's house to knock on the front door, the water pump is beside the tree at the left side of the house, but when Widow Tweed opens the door and hurries over to the "pesky" birds, the water pump is now at the right side of the house. It continues to change its position in front of the house in following shots. (00:07:50)
Adult Copper: I think I did a good job tracking down those varmints for ya.
Chief: Trackin' an' smellin' ain't enough. You gotta think nasty.
Question: Tod is only a cub the first time he encounters Amos Slade. Amos swears to shoot Tod the next time he sees the latter on his property. Amos leaves for a long hunting trip the next day and doesn't see Tod again until after he returns home. Tod is full grown before Amos returns. When Amos sees a full-grown Tod in his yard during the night, he yells, "It's that fox again." How does he know it's Tod?
Answer: As there're no obvious markings on Tod that Amos could recognize, it seems it's just an assumption on his part that it's the same fox he previously chased off his property. He probably says the same thing to any fox he sees.
