 mos Slade is certainly one of the most problematic
Disney characters. A vicious old hunter with a permanent scowl, he
believes that the only good fox is a dead one. In fact, the only
time Slade allows himself anything friendlier than a frown is when
he and his two dogs are returning from a successful hunting trip.
That's when he bursts into song, explaining to the world the ethos
of his life:
"I ain't got no job. I'm a huntin' man and I'd rather have a dog
than a dollar."

Slade looks the part: Clad in a fur-lined leather jacket and vast
leather boots, he has thick, messy hair and a belligerently bushy
moustache. The expression in his eyes vacillates between anger and
hatred. His chin juts forth with all the power of a battering ram.
And for approximately 80 of the movie's 83 minutes it seems that
Slade is utterly incorrigible, bullying, foul-tempered, and intent
only on massacring the wildlife. However, in the closing moments,
his dog Copper's late-discovered loyalty to his childhood friend
opens Slade's mind to the higher emotions. One hopes he will
continue on his newly discovered course.
