I'm not sure what genius thought this needed to be made, but they were wrong. Set at some unspecified point in the main characters' youth, Tod (Jonah Bobo) the fox and Copper (Harrison Fahn) the hound are very excited at the prospect of a county fair. Chief (Rob Paulsen) is competing as a tracker and Copper wants to do the same, but has not quite mastered the art of using his nose and is relegated to his barrel. Tod liberates his friend and they explore the various attractions, including all-dog a cappella group The Singin' Strays. Lead singer Cash (Patrick Swayze) clashes with diva Dixie (Reba McIntire) and hires Copper to fill in, just to tweak her nose. Dixie retaliates by cozying up to a left-out Tod in the hopes of sabotaging the group's audition for the Grand Ole Opry. Of course, everything backfires and Tod and Copper must use the Power of Friendship to make everything right.
This is nothing more than a shameless grab for cash, despite the inclusion of bonafide stars Swayze and McIntire. Their musical numbers would almost make this worth watching if there wasn't so much wrong with the rest of it, including a flimsy premise, tired gags, and too many side characters.
