On a related note, why is this page classified as "children's literature"? Unlike its film adaption, which is vastly different from the book, the book is not meant for children but for a more adult audience. If children read the book's story, they would cry. The fox and the hound don't even live by the end of the story, and they were never friends. Therefore, this should not be classified as children's literature. 75.106.171.139 (talk) 21:55, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
