Continuity mistake: Chief is tied to his kennel around the collar. But when Copper cuddles up to him for the first time, the rope tied to his collar disappears for a shot. (00:10:35)
The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Directed by: Art Stevens, Richard Rich, Ted Berman
Starring: Jack Albertson, Kurt Russell, Mickey Rooney, Pearl Bailey
Continuity mistake: When Chief is chasing Tod through the forest, Chief still has his barrel attached to his collar, yet when it cuts back to Copper both barrels are there. (00:24:00 - 00:25:00)
Continuity mistake: When Tod goes up to Chief saying what big teeth he's got, Chief's teeth are perfectly white. Then later when Chief is chasing Tod, his teeth are a noticeable yellow. (00:22:30 - 00:23:45)
Big Mama: Listen good, Tod, 'cause it's either education or elimination.
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.
Adult Copper: Tod... I don't want to see you get killed.
Question: How did chief survive getting hit by a train, and falling down, and only ending up with an injured leg?
Answer: He fell into the water so he could have very easily broken his leg on something in the water like a rock.

Answer: Since we don't really know how he died, he could have drowned and not died on impact. Bear may not have been a strong swimmer or sustained too much injury from the gunshot to swim to the surface. However, in physics, force = mass * acceleration and thus larger creatures will hit the water with greater force than small creatures (as the old cliche goes; the bigger they are, the harder they fall). So it's possible for Bear to die on impact and not Tod because of his larger size.
