Old Yeller, original movie 1957
Added 9/10/2009
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 Disney for this film. I've only seen it once - in 1957 & I don't ever, ever want to see it again. Out of all the Disney films I eventually took my son to see, or recommend he see when he got older, this was the only one I suggested he avoid - at all costs - because he's as sensitive as I am with our dogs. I'm surprised that after 5 decades I still hold a grudge against Disney for making this film. It was hard enough when Stephen King's "Cujo" was made into a film.......I suppose my point is, if you have any kids who love their dog and are sensitive there is no sense exposing them to this (let alone "Marley & Me", which, my students - yes, I'm a dog training instructor now, stated grown men cried at).....what's the point????!!!!!) If you have a good relationship with your dog, why not accentuate that part of it? When the end comes it is so heart wrenching I don't see the need to pay to watch it in a movie theater or at home........And for those of us that our dogs are our "family" - why show this inevitable part of losing them? It can take years to finally start to manage grief......why not have more films that show the positive aspects of choosing to live together, what we learn about each other, and in spite of all our faults, we can learn to live & love one another? Just my 2 cents worth....I just lost my 2 youngest & smallest dogs within 3 months of each other earlier this year, very unexpectedly, and hope better days are in store for the rest of y'all with your pups....Look for all the good stuff your own pups offer & please, take the time to find a trainer you enjoy working with that uses positive reinforcement-based training!

A Classic - Old Yeller
Added 12/6/2008
After searching in local big box stores, I was able to locate only the "non-Disney" releases of this classic motion picture. However, Amazon offered both choices and I was able to secure a copy that contains the original graphics and issued from Disney.

WASN'T IMPRESSED
Added 7/4/2008
This movie hit the theaters on Christmas Day in 1957 starring Dorothy McGuire as Katie Coates, Fess Parker as Jim Coates and Jeff York as Bud Searcy. Based on the novel by Fred Gipson, Old Yeller is set in Texas in 1869. While his father is away on a cattle drive, 15-year-old Travis Coates takes over management of the family farm. Adopting a strictly business policy, Travis is irritated when younger brother, Arliss, adopts a frisky stray dog. Soon Travis is as fond of the dog as everyone else in the family is; moreover, "Old Yeller" is an excellent watchdog. However, while fighting off a mad wolf, Yeller is infected with rabies. Though Yeller seems unaffected at first, he eventually behaves so viciously that the disheartened Travis has no choice but to **** *** ***. A heart-to-heart talk between Travis and his returning father coupled with the adoption of a new pup, paves the way to an emotional but reasonably happy ending. Earning eight million dollars domestically on its first release, Old Yeller convinced Walt Disney to devote more and more time to live-action films and less time to animation, which at the time was a great business move. In 1963, Disney released a lesser sequel to Old Yeller titled Savage Sam. I was wasn't that crazy about this picture either. To me once the dog got in the fight the movie was over. I give this movie Two-weasel stars because there was not much drama or action in this movie other then the fight with the wolf.
