I am a huge Disney fan and couldn’t wait to introduce The Fox and the Hound to Bug. We were able to review the Blu-ray combo pack. It comes with both The Fox and the Hound and The Fox and the Hound 2 on blu-ray and DVD. Bug has immediately fallen in love with both movies. He has been watching them over and over and can’t seem to get enough. He has been saying “I’m a hound dog” a lot and it’s so cute :). I really enjoyed watching the first again as it had been a while since I had seen it. Neither of us had seen the second one and we enjoyed it as well. This is a must have to add to your family movie collection!
