There was a point in my life when Old Yeller was absolutely, unequivocably my
favorite movie. I haven't watched it lately, but I am nearly certain
that my eyes will still be raining buckets at the end the next time I
see it. Very few movies make me cry, but this is a notable exception.
(The only other movie that rates so highly on my tearjerker list is
"Willie: The Whale who wanted to sing at the Met," and that is really
only a small portion of the movie "Make Mine Music".)
Any
connaisseur of classic live-action Disney films will recognize the trio
that star in this movie. The actors playing the two brothers were seen
in movies such as "Swiss Family Robinson" and "The Shaggy Dog," also
playing brothers. Many of the movies in which they are brothers include
the "Old Yeller" mom as their mother.
Packed with good
old-fashioned, wholesome Disney adventure and humor, this movie is sure
to be enjoyed by viewers of any age. Beware, though: If you by chance do
not know how the movie ends, have a box of tissues on hand to dry your
eyes. This heartwarming tale will touch the heart of anyone who has ever
loved a dog.
