A Disney Villains Retrospective, Part 24: Amos Slade and the MCP (ft. Disney Animator Jerry Rees)

It’s a twofer this time! The bulk of this video will be about Disney’s first somewhat ambiguous villain, Amos Slade from 1981’s The Fox and the Hound. We’ll also be taking a look at the Master Control Program from 1982’s TRON. I’m very excited to share this video. I was able to interview one of the Fox and the Hound’s animators, Jerry Rees, about the making of the movie. We’ll hear excerpts from the interview in this one, and the full interview can be found HERE: 0:00 Intro/The Book 4:00 Production Stories of the Fox and the Hound 11:44 Amos Slade 24:23 Chief 25:44 The Bear 28:07 Afterthoughts/The Current State of Disney Villains 32:13 The Fox and the Hound 2 34:50 Comics and Theme Parks 36:24 The Master Control Program 41:12 Tron Legacy/Tron Uprising 45:54 Other MCP Appearances 49:57 Conclusion Meet the World’s Post on the Fox and the Hound: SOURCES PEOPLEMOVER THRU THE WORLD OF TRON TRON MAZE-A-TRON TRON SOLAR SAILER
