Who is Widow Tweed?
Widow Tweed is a kind and compassionate character from Disney’s 1981 animated film The Fox and the Hound. She is a gentle, elderly farmer who takes in Tod, a young orphaned fox, after his mother is tragically killed.
Despite her simple lifestyle, Widow Tweed demonstrates profound empathy and care, raising Tod as her own and providing him with a loving home. Her nurturing nature and strong moral compass highlight her willingness to stand up for what she believes is right, even when faced with opposition from her gruff and irritable neighbor, Amos Slade.
Widow Tweed plays a pivotal role in the film’s themes of love, loss, and friendship. She makes the heart-wrenching decision to release Tod into the wild when she realizes that her care can no longer protect him from the dangers posed by Amos and his hunting dog, Copper. This moment underscores her selfless love and desire to give Tod the best chance at survival, even at great personal cost.
In the original animated film, Widow Tweed is voiced by actress Jeanette Nolan.
