in the book, tod finds and mate and has a litter, and the hunter kills his mate and babies, and then it happens AGAIN, tod dies from old age and exhaustion of outrunning the hunter, and copper gets shot. and the roles of copper and the chief are reversed, so little puppy chief gets hit by the train and dies. how depressing.

I thought thwe book was touching as well, having read it. Just in a different way, the book is more about animals, the film is more about people.
shareI felt that the book had a much stronger meaning with its ending.
However, I always was bothered with the ending of the movie. Copper, (who's a vengeful bastard), tries to murder his best friend. His best friend tries to sacrifice everything he has to fight off a f∪cking bear. When Tod's a broken mess in a puddle, Copper decides to be merciful and not kill him. Then it ends with him and Vixey watching the humans and dogs healing and resting, while they are out in the distance, staring blankly.
WHY???

Couldn't agree more...
shareBummer how they decided to make an animation out of this piece of literature, goes to show that people can make this a brighter world. Glad I didn't read the book. That is just so tragic. I guess real life isn't so far off in the animal kingdom.

Wow. I kind of always wanted to read the book because I enjoyed the movie so much. Now I don't. What a depressing story. Doesn't Amos have to go to a retirement home and has to shoot Copper? And he and Todd are never friends, right? I honestly don't even understand how Disney got the script from this book. It really doesn't sound like there's a single similarity except there's a fox named Todd.

That really doesn't surprise me.
In Hunchback of Notre Dame, pretty much everyone dies at the end.
In the Disney adaptation only the "villain" dies.

Bambi goes through various abandonement situations, eventually falling into depression, growing cold and detaching himself from everyone he knows, and virtually everybody dies (horrible deaths, most of them. If they're not brutally murdered they at least have to die sad and alone).
And yet Walt Disney filled it with jolly rabbits and skunks and all that crap

Do you think Bambi would have worked if Gobo (Faline's brother) had been kept?

After seeing the movie. I excepted the book to have ended with Tod dying saving Coopers life. I thought that would have honestly been the perfect ending being between the Disney and book ending. I was very disopointed when I learned that wasn't how the book ended.
I'm not like other people, I can't stand pain, it hurts me.
The book was written with a realism style, so of course it wasn't going to have that ending.

The hunchback of Notre Dame has one of the most depressing endings...
The beautiful girl that Quasimodo had a thing for, whom he saved twice, decided to hook up with the good looking knight instead. In other words, only good looking people who only do half the work get the girl. Disney is basically telling deformed people "you don't get to get the girl!"
Disney never sent a nastier message across even with a villain in a single story that I can think of.
that's pretty much a reflection of real life.

Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
Why does every disney movie have to have a book thats horribly dark and gruesome???
