Amazon.com essential video:
There's nothing hip about this vintage Disney film that begins and ends with a corny song about the "best doggone dog in the West." But that's the beauty of Old Yeller, originally released in 1957. The simple, heart-warming story of a boy who bonds with a feisty stray dog in 1860s Texas is full of 1950s sensibilities: A Donna Reed-style perfect "Momma" (Dorothy McGuire) who knows best, a couple of brothers who quarrel in the best sitcom tradition, and a father (Fess Parker, in a small role) who goes off to provide for his family, leaving his older boy (Tommy Kirk) in charge and his incredibly cute younger one (Kevin Corcoran) to steal as many scenes in the movie as he possibly can. With Old Yeller at his side, Kirk becomes a little man, who in the end must make a decision so heart-breaking that it's one of filmdom's most memorable moments. --Valerie J. Nelson
Description:
No film better captures the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship than this treasured and much beloved classic, OLD YELLER. The quintessential tale of a boy's love for his dog has touched the hearts of millions, its enduring legacy growing with each new generation and is "still one of the best!" (Leonard Maltin) Set amidst the landscape of 1860s Texas, a young boy named Travis (Tommy Kirk) wants nothing to do with the lop-eared stray. But Old Yeller quickly proves himself a loyal friend, protecting the family and saving Travis' life. Soon they become inseparable pals, sharing joyous experiences and learning valuable lessons about growing up.

This was a favorite movie when I was younger and was glad to see it spiffed up and re-released. The picture may be clearer but the message and story are still the same and it touches my heart each time I watch it. As a youth you see completely different things in a movie than you do as an adult. When I imagine what the mother had to go through during all those experiences- from sewing up Old Yeller to having to confine him to the corn crib while they thought he had hydrophobia, it was a very hard ...

Great movie! I saw this as a kid and wanted my grandkids to see it too. I'm introducing them to these great old movies for kids....Heidi with Shirley Temple, Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland, Peter Pan with Mary Martin,and now Old Yeller.

"Old Yeller" is an excellent and classic coming-of-age movie about a boy and his dog; how life changes; how death is a part of life; how life involves taking the good with the bad; and how a boy transitions to manhood. This movie has a positive pro-family message. Some parts are a little scary for younger children, but all-in-all a great old family movie made at a time when "family" movies were truly for "families" and not silly, forgettable and generic plots with a few "fart" jokes thrown in.

I was only 6 or 7 when I saw this movie. I absolutely hated it & I cried in the theater & all the way home & for days afterwards. I've never had the same feeling for Walt Disney since then. When I was really, really little, when my mom couldn't find me right away, she'd first look for our dog, & then find me, either sleeping next to or on my dog, Ladddie's, stomach. I'm a "senior cititzen" now and still I find the safest place to be is with my dogs. After all these years I've never forgiven Walt ... Read More
