Disney foxes, the old and the new

Robin Hood has been re- (re- re- re-...) released on blu-ray in honor of its 40th anniversary!

A new fox is being developed at Disney for a movie release in 2016. I actually saw this on r/furry via a tumblr post, but the press release is online. This is IGN's article link.

Thanks for the heads-up about the Robin Hood blu-ray. I didn't know one had been released, and, yes, I'll probably have to snag a copy at some point. :-)

I hope Zootopia is as good as it could be. I like that fox, and I would imagine that there could be some good plush potential there. ;-)

I was looking for this to go to blu-ray early in the year, and then went off on other web adventures. I did get a reasonably priced copy of Bolt recently (Shameless- I bought it for me for someone to give me for my birthday) and then decided to look again for Robin Hood. Hopefully it will drop a bit: we have the "most wanted" edition DVD from a couple of years ago so this needs to come down enough to justify another copy (I believe I have 3 VHS tapes of this, from various releases, thanks to our buying one and then other copies appearing in the book sale at work).

The premise looks tired but it's early yet. I was amazed with the Brother Bear movie that it started as a totally different concept before becoming what it ended up as. I found that out from the 'Special Features' disc. Jungle Book had a lot of film dropped as well before becoming such a memorable flick :o)

And maybe it's just me, but the story board pic above looks like something from a Cats Don't Dance artist.

That looks promising - those rabbit gestures amuse me greatly.

There's a lot of potential here! I think we're due for new batch of Disney bunnies (and foxes)!

I've seen that concept art on Tumblr, too...it looks like it could be really cute. :)

And 2016 will be here before we know it!
