1 trivia entry
Directed by: Richard Rich, Art Stevens, Ted Berman
Starring: Kurt Russell, Mickey Rooney, Jack Albertson, Pearl Bailey
Continuity mistake: After Tod accidentally causes mischief in the barn with Abigail and the chickens, Widow Tweed picks Tod up and we see the barn doors with its double-z panels, but when Tweed puts Tod down and he scampers outside, those double-z panels are facing the opposite way. (00:13:25)
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.
