Tearjerker is one of the best early Disney dramas.

Disney organization's flair for taking a homely subject and building a heartwarming film is again aptly demonstrated in this moving story.

It comes from Disney's thoroughly proved mother lode: movies for the kids that adults will stay to enjoy themselves.

Sentimental, yes, but also sturdy as a hickory stick.

What makes Old Yeller more than run-of-the-mill Disney is not only the gut-wrenching climax, but also the remarkably well-done uplift of the denouement.

Jan 12, 2012Old Yeller is just about the best story about a boy and his dog. A great story, fantastic acting, and a memorable theme song. Also, it made me do something that I have not done in a long, long time, for the first time in a while, towards the end, I couldn't help but just having my eyes compared to a faucet on a kitchen sink, they were just running with tears, partly because I myself have a dog, and she's a blood-hound. Anyway, an overall great film that can even make a full-grown man cry.Nick C Super Reviewer

Aug 03, 2010The entire time I was watching this Disney classic, I was thinking that it could never be remade for a modern audience without PETA taking serious issue. Throughout this film a yellow dog named Old Yeller hangs around with a post-Civil War frontier family. A mother (who seems to have no control over her children), and two young boys battle wildlife constantly. By battling, I of course mean that the children often claim baby animals as their own and are surprised when their full-grown mothers chase after them. The film doesn't teach children to treat animals well. The children in this movie ride the dog, make it herd wild hogs, and let it fight way bigger animals alone. Seriously, there is no way to remake this film unless the entire story is changed. The ending has been made infamous, as it's a heartbreaker for young children. It's not as bad as it could have been, since the next scene has the father telling his son to move on. If you're looking for a good family film, watch almost any other Disney film for best results.Spencer S Super Reviewer
