DVD Reviews of Old Yeller (Vault Disney Collection)
DVD Review: ANOTHER GREAT DISNEY CLASSIC!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LIKE THIS MOVIE. THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE. THIS IS A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE; I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS WALT DISNEY MOVIES!!!!!DVD Review: Old Yeller, original movie 1957
Summary: 1 Stars
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!

Summary: 5 Stars
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.DVD Review: WASN'T IMPRESSED
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Description of Old Yeller (Vault Disney Collection)
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 it's "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.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
