Summary: 4 Stars
When I saw this double feature I could not pass up the temptation to see "Old Yeller" again, and "Savage Sam" for the first time since I saw it at the theater. I have just finished watching them, and can state that I have no regrets purchasing this DVD. While I have seen "Old Yeller" many times, it remains fresh and exciting, with all of Walt Disney's little touches to details. Conversely, "Savage Sam" was actually a little better than I remember it being.
While "Savage Sam" is a sequel in that several of the characters were central to "Old Yeller," the themes of the two movies are quite different. "Old Yeller" is a wonderful story about boys and dogs; it is a story of caring and love; and it is a story of overcoming the travesties that life throws our way. "Savage Sam" is a tale of life on the "Texas frontier" that has been portrayed many times before. Like the dog, Sam, the characters are now older, wilder, individualistic, less caring, and angrier at the world. While the Comanches--not Apaches as most other reviewers mistakenly refer to them as--along with ONE Apache are not completely stereotypical, they come close to it. I should inject here that I am uncertain why there was an Apache included, as the two Nations are quite distinct and seldom interacted, let alone act in conjunction. While it would be easy to interpret the Comanches as being cruel when they are tossing young Arliss (Kevin Corcoran) around, Travis (Tommy Kirk) is shown explaining to Lisbeth Searcy (Marta Kristen) that "it is their way of having fun." This, and other attempts to partially humanize the Comanches, is why I stated above that "Savage Sam" was a little better than I remember: because as I remembered it, the film depicted the Comanches as completely evil.
Hence, I have given the two movies an overall rating of four stars. Individually, "Old Yeller" is a five (plus) star classic that personifies Disney movies at their best; "Savage Sam," on the other hand, is a two or three star movie devoid of the classic Disney nuances. Yet they are both "fun" to watch--especially if one keeps in mind that "Savage Sam" is really a western that plays upon a Texan frontier theme of Comanches "kidnapping" women and children. As such, I would recommend explaining the differences between the two films to children.
Please Note: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.

Description of Old Yeller 2-Movie Collection (Old Yeller/Savage Sam)
OLD YELLER: Walt Disney's first and quintessential film about a boy's love for his dog is now an American original as much as it is a Disney classic. No film better portrays the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship. When his younger brother adopts a frisky lop-eared stray, 15-year-old Travis (Tommy Kirk), acting "man-of-the-house," tries to shoo him away. But Old Yeller soon proves he is anything but "yellow" when he protects the family farm and saves Travis' life. From its charming simplicity to its gripping conclusion, the drama, humor and heart of OLD YELLER belong in everyone's collection. SAVAGE SAM: Now discover what happens next in SAVAGE SAM, the sequel to Walt Disney's classic adventure OLD YELLER, where adopting a new pup sets the stage for more thrills in the untamed West. With his two young masters Travis and Arliss Coates (Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran), gentle and true-blue Sam faces even greater dangers than Yeller. From the ferocious attacks of wolves and wildcats to tracking renegade wrongdoers, our four-legged hero proves his pedigree. SAVAGE SAM is a compelling story of love, devotion, and trust that is sure to win your heart.General DVDs
