Another theory holds that the Greek form Ναζαρά ( Nazará ), used in the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke , may derive from an earlier Aramaic form of

9648-571: The erection of the Byzantine-period church at the site of Mary's house in the mid-5th century, Judeo-Christians had built there a synagogue-church, leaving behind Judeo-Christian symbols. Until being expelled in c. 630, Jews probably kept on using their older synagogue, while the Judeo-Christian needed to build their own, probably at the site of Mary's house. The Jewish town profited from the Christian pilgrim trade which began in

9782-495: The film 3 1 ⁄ 2 out of five stars, noting that it was the transition point between the remaining original animators since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the new generation, saying that "the results culled the best qualities of both groups." and that "The result is a work of both learned, assured poise and triumphant freshman determination, not far away (in style or quality) from other benchmark-status works, like

9916-442: The film received a 75% approval rating with an average rating of 6.5/10 based on 28 reviews. The website's consensus states that " The Fox and the Hound is a likeable, charming, unassuming effort that manages to transcend its thin, predictable plot." Metacritic gave it a score of 65 based on 15 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". The film was awarded a Golden Screen Award (German: Goldene Leinwand ) in 1982. In

10050-446: The finished product. A total of 180 people, including 24 animators, worked on the film. Early into production, the principal characters such as Young Tod, Young Copper, Big Mama, and Amos Slade had already been cast. The supporting roles were filled by Disney voice regulars including Pat Buttram as Chief, Paul Winchell as Boomer, and Mickey Rooney , who had just finished filming Pete's Dragon (1977), as Adult Tod. Jeanette Nolan

10184-471: The first film. A DVD-only edition of the 2-movie Collection, again featuring both films on separate discs, was also released on the same day. Vincent Canby of The New York Times claimed that the film "breaks no new ground whatsoever", while describing it as "a pretty, relentlessly cheery, old-fashioned sort of Disney cartoon feature, chock-full of bouncy songs of an upbeatness that is stickier than Krazy Glue and played by animals more anthropomorphic than

10318-505: The former church, so that Willibald found during his pilgrimage in 724-26 only one church there, the one dedicated to St. Mary, which Christians had to save through repeated payments from destruction by the "pagan Saracens" (Muslim Arabs). The ruins of St. Joseph's remained untouched for a very long time, while the Church St. Mary is repeatedly mentioned throughout the following centuries, including by an Arab geographer in 943. In 1099,

10452-433: The fox." Likewise, younger members of the story team pleaded with Stevens to have him killed. He countered, "Geez, we never killed a main character in a Disney film and we're not starting now!" The younger crew members took the problem to upper management, who would also back Stevens. Ollie Johnston's test animation of Chief stomping around the house with his leg in a cast was eventually kept, and Randy Cartwright reanimated

10586-468: The hilltops around the town. Other new or expanded government offices included a headquarters for the district commissioner at the former Ottoman military barracks, and offices for the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Survey and Settlement. Nazareth was in the territory allotted to the Arab state under the 1947 UN Partition Plan . In the months leading up to the 1948 Arab–Israeli War ,

10720-408: The humans that occasionally appear." He further commented that the film "is rather overstuffed with whimsy and folksy dialogue. It also possesses a climax that could very well scare the daylights out of the smaller tykes in the audience, though all ends well. Parents who don't relish chaperoning their tykes to see the movie, but find they must anyway, can take heart in the knowledge that the running time

10854-524: The inhabitants, which in turn contributed to political agitation in the city. As the largest Arab town in Israel, Nazareth became a center of Arab and Palestinian nationalism , and because the Communist Party was the sole legal political group that took up many of the local Arab causes, it gained popularity in Nazareth. Arab political organization within Nazareth and Israel was largely stymied by

10988-418: The inscription seems to be a list of the twenty-four priestly courses, with each course (or family) assigned its proper order and the name of each town or village in Galilee where it settled. Nazareth is not spelled with the "z" sound but with the Hebrew tsade (thus "Nasareth" or "Natsareth"). Eleazar Kalir (a Hebrew Galilean poet variously dated from the 6th to 10th century) mentions a locality clearly in

11122-452: The junior personnel, but Reitherman resisted due to a lack of trust in the young animators. In an earlier version of the film, Chief was slated to die as he did in the novel. However, the scene was modified to have him survive with a broken leg. Animator Ron Clements , who had briefly transitioned into the story department, protested, "Chief has to die. The picture doesn't work if he just breaks his leg. Copper doesn't have motivation to hate

11256-480: The king of France, attended mass in the grotto, accompanied by his wife. In 1263, Baybars , the Mamluk Sultan , destroyed the Christian buildings in Nazareth and declared the site off-limits to Latin clergy, as part of his bid to drive out the remaining Crusaders from Palestine. While Arab Christian families continued to live in Nazareth, its status was reduced to that of a poor village. Pilgrims who visited

11390-439: The last involvement of the remaining members of Disney's Nine Old Men , which included Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston . Though they had involvement in early development of the film, it was ultimately handed over to a new generation of animators following the retirement of the old animators. As such, it was the first film for future directors, including Tim Burton , Brad Bird , and John Lasseter . During production, its release

11524-593: The late 19th century and the first years of the 20th century, Nazareth prospered as it served the role of a market center for the dozens of rural Arab villages located within its vicinity. Local peasants would purchase supplies from Nazareth's many souks (open-air markets), which included separate souks for agricultural produce, metalwork, jewelry and leathers. In 1914, Nazareth consisted of eight quarters: 'Araq, Farah, Jami', Khanuq, Maidan, Mazazwa, Sharqiya and Shufani. There were nine churches, two monasteries, four convents, two mosques, four hospitals, four private schools,

11658-678: The late Hellenistic-Hasmonean period ( c.  late 2nd century ). Under the leadership of priestly families, the Jewish inhabitants observed ritual purity laws. Previously, most of Galiee, except for minor short-lived Israelite settlements in the Naḥal Ẓippori basin, had an occupational gap for about 5 centuries because of the Assyrian conquest in 732 BCE . However, there is strong evidence for Assyrian presence in Galilee, based on artefacts in Cana , which

11792-535: The movement while also proclaiming solidarity with the Jews of Palestine . Politically, Nazareth was becoming further involved in the growing Palestinian nationalist movement . In 1922, a Muslim-Christian Association was established in the town, largely sponsored by the Muslim al-Zu'bi family. A consistent and effective united Palestinian Arab religious front proved difficult to establish and alternative organizations such as

11926-562: The name, or from another Semitic language form. If there were a tsade (צ) in the original Semitic form, as in the later Hebrew forms, it would normally have been transcribed in Greek with a sigma (σ) instead of a zeta (ζ). This has led some scholars to question whether "Nazareth" and its cognates in the New Testament actually refer to the settlement known traditionally as Nazareth in Lower Galilee . Such linguistic discrepancies may be explained, however, by "a peculiarity of

12060-555: The neighboring Qafzeh Cave show that the area around Nazareth was populated in the prehistoric period. Nazareth was a Jewish village during the Roman and Byzantine periods and is described in the New Testament as the childhood home of Jesus . It became an important city during the Crusades after Tancred established it as the capital of the Principality of Galilee . The city declined under Mamluk rule, and following

12194-716: The newer team backed Stevens. Animator Don Bluth animated several scenes, including of Widow Tweed milking her cow, Abigail, while his team worked on the rest of the sequence, and when she fires at Amos' automobile. Nevertheless, Bluth and the new animators felt that Reitherman was too stern and out of touch, and on his 42nd birthday, September 13, 1979, Bluth, along with Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy , entered Ron Miller's office, and they turned in their resignations. Soon after, 13 more animators followed suit in turning in their resignations. Though Bluth and his team had animated substantial scenes, they asked not to receive screen credit. With those animators now gone, Miller ordered all of

12328-429: The news, "just shook his head and knew that he wasn't being appreciated. He felt the old days were gone". In retrospect, Bluth stated that " Small One was something I directed to get the crew busy until Pete's Dragon ... [Larson] might have [been involved] in the storyboard area. [But he] didn't get to direction. I think he elected to [teach]". Bluth supervised all aspects of the production, including heavily revising

12462-522: The north and east, areas that the latter city now occupy. Arab satellite towns are closely located to the north, west and southwest. Thus, the remaining area within the city's municipal boundaries available for expansion were to the northwest and the south, where the topography restricted urban development. After lobbying the Knesset and the Interior Ministry , el-Zoubi was able to have areas to

12596-479: The northwest of the city annexed to the municipality. In the 1980s, the government began attempts to merge the nearby village of Ilut with Nazareth, although this move was opposed by residents from both localities and the Nazareth Municipality. Ilut's residents were included as part of Nazareth's electorate in the 1983 and 1989 municipal elections, which Ilut's residents largely boycotted, and in

12730-714: The northwestern hills and several new cisterns . By 1930, a church for the Baptist denomination, a municipal garden at Mary's Well and a police station based in Zahir al-Umar's Seraya had been established and the Muslim Sharqiya Quarter had expanded. In the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt , Nazareth played a minor role, contributing two rebel commanders out of 281 rebel commanders active in the country. The two were Nazareth native and Christian Fu'ad Nassar and Nazareth resident and Indur native Tawfiq al-Ibrahim. The nearby villages of Saffuriya and al-Mujaydil played

12864-478: The novel won the Dutton Animal Book Award , it was reported that Walt Disney Productions had obtained the film rights to it. In spring 1977, development began on the project after Wolfgang Reitherman had read the original novel and decided that it would make for a good animated feature as one of his sons had once owned a pet fox years before. The title was initially reported as The Fox and

12998-468: The prophetic, messianic words in Book of Isaiah 11:1: "from (Jesse's) roots a Branch [ netzer ] will bear fruit". One view suggests this toponym might be an example of a tribal name used by resettling groups on their return from exile. Alternatively, the name may derive from the verb na·ṣar , נָצַר , 'watch, guard, keep", and understood either in the sense of 'watchtower' or 'guard place', implying

13132-593: The reserve and hunt Tod and Vixey . The chase climaxes when they inadvertently provoke an attack from a giant bear. Amos trips and falls into one of his own traps, dropping his rifle slightly out of reach. Copper violently fights the bear, but is almost killed by it. Tod comes to his rescue and battles it until they both fall down a waterfall . As Copper approaches Tod as he lies wounded in the lake below, Amos appears, ready to shoot him. Copper positions himself in front of him to prevent Amos from doing so, refusing to move away. Amos, understanding Tod had saved their lives from

13266-509: The resigning animators off the studio lot by noon of that same day and would later push the film's release from Christmas 1980 to summer 1981. New animators were hired and promoted to fill the ranks. To compensate for the lack of experience of the new animators, much of the quality control would rely upon a network of veteran assistant animators. Four years after production started, the film was finished with approximately 360,000 drawings, 110,000 painted cels, and 1,100 painted backgrounds making up

13400-696: The same event took place at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation , also known as Church of Saint Gabriel. Other important churches in Nazareth include the Synagogue Church , St. Joseph's Church , the Mensa Christi Church , and the Basilica of Jesus the Adolescent . One view holds that the name 'Nazareth' is derived from one of the Hebrew words for 'branch', namely ne·ṣer , ‏נֵ֫צֶר‎ , and alludes to

13534-599: The same year of the Balfour Declaration , which promised British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In the years preceding and following the declaration, Jewish immigration to Palestine had been increasing.

Examples include The Lost Fawn , in which Copper uses his sense of smell to help Tod find a fawn who has gone astray; The Escape , in which Tod and Vixey must save

13802-417: The scene was removed. Reitherman later walked into his office, slumped in a chair, and said, "I dunno, Art, maybe this is a young man's medium." He later moved on to undeveloped projects such as Catfish Bend . By late 1978, Frank Thomas , Ollie Johnston , and Cliff Nordberg had completed their animation. Thomas had animated scenes of Tod and Copper using dialogue Larry Clemmons had written and recorded with

13936-433: The scene where Copper finds his body and had him animate his eyes opening and closing so the audience knew that he was not dead. Another fight erupted when Reitherman, in thinking the film lacked a strong second act, decided to add a musical sequence of two swooping cranes voiced by Phil Harris and Charo . These characters would sing a silly song titled "Scoobie-Doobie Doobie Doo, Let Your Body Turn to Goo" to Tod after he

14070-587: The site among pilgrims, who founded the first church at the location of the current Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation at the site of a freshwater spring, today known as Mary's Well . Around 570, the Anonymous of Piacenza reports travelling from Sepphoris to Nazareth.

According to him, Christians could lift it, but Jews could not, since it disallowed them from dragging it outside. Writing of

14204-508: The site in 1294 reported only a small church protecting the grotto . In the 14th century, Franciscan friars were permitted to return and live within the ruins of the basilica.

At this moment, a kind man comes up to the boy and asks if Small One is for sale. He needs a gentle donkey to carry his wife to Bethlehem , insists he will take good care of him, and offers one piece of silver. The boy accepts, says goodbye to Small One, and watches as the couple and Small One leave on their journey as

14472-408: The state until recent decades. Arab and Palestinian nationalist sentiment continue to influence Nazareth's political life. In 1954, 1,200 dunams of Nazareth's land, which had been slated for future urban expansion by the municipality, was expropriated by state authorities for the construction of government offices and, in 1957, for the construction of the Jewish town of Nazareth Illit . The latter

14606-553: The sticky-sweet songs, but the movie is not intended for grownups." Richard Corliss of Time magazine praised the film for its intelligent story about prejudice . He argued that it shows that biased attitudes can poison even the deepest relationships, and its bittersweet ending delivers a powerful and important moral message to audiences. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times also praised it, saying, "For all of its familiar qualities, this movie marks something of

14740-401: The storyline that it frustrated Young. His friend Steve Hulett remembered: "He thought they had missed a lot of the points that he and Vance had made in their original boards." Young left the production and worked on The Fox and the Hound (1981). Given the allotted production budget, Bluth composed two songs himself with a third song composed by assistant director Richard Rich . Animation of

14874-570: The time of Jesus in the early Roman period. Alexandre told reporters, "The discovery is of the utmost importance since it reveals for the very first time a house from the Jewish village of Nazareth."

Twelve hours after defying his superior, he was relieved of his post, but not before obtaining assurances that the security of Nazareth's population would be guaranteed. David Ben-Gurion backed Dunkelman's judgement, fearing that expelling Christian Arabs might provoke an outcry throughout

15946-441: Was a "warm and amusing, if slightly dull, entry in the Disney animated canon." He also called it "conventional and generally predictable" with problems in pacing. However, he praised its climax and animation, as well as the ending.

16080-477: Was built as a way for the state to counterbalance the Arab majority in the region. Knesset member Seif el-Din el-Zoubi , who represented Nazareth, actively opposed the Absentees' Property Law , which allowed state expropriation of land from Arab citizens who were not permitted to return to their original villages.

16348-411: Was delayed by over six months following the abrupt departure of Don Bluth and his team of animators.

However, it is suspected that this inscription came to Nazareth from somewhere else (possibly Sepphoris ).

At Nazareth there lived various vendors of antiquities who got ancient material from several places." C. Kopp

17554-599: Was temporarily captured by the troops of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799, during his Syrian campaign .
