The fox and hound production involved some of the same people that worked on Land before time.It was about racial hatred and discrimation. The land before time also had such themes including segregation.

Yes, Don Bluth was one of the key animators on Fox and the Hound and asked not to be in the credits.  Gary Goldman was also a large part of that production if my memory serves correctly.

They're not exactly similar in storylines since in Fox, Todd and Copper are meant to be mortal enemies, and one would naturally kill the other.  Can't say the same for leaf eaters.  To not join together would be of their own accord.

I think it had to do with disappointment in the practices then at Disney and he felt it wasn't worthy to be credited in that film.  When Bluth left, that's when he went to start NIMH out of his own garage.  You can see the huge quality difference between Fox and NIMH.
