Movie Info

Travis (Tommy Kirk) and Arliss Coates (Kevin Corcoran) are in charge of the family farm when their parents leave to visit their ailing grandmother. Thankfully, they have Old Yeller's son, Savage Sam, to keep them company and help them with tracking. Initially, Travis and Arliss bump heads because Travis is older and more responsible, and Arliss wants to shirk his duties.

Not bad sequel to Disney's Old Yeller w/mostly same cast.

for as good as Old Yeller is, there's its counterpart on the disc - the weak sequel Savage Sam.

Still packed with that patented Disney Nature Quaintness, Sam isn't a terrible follow-up, but it lacks the spine that the grown-ups brought to the first film.

This 1963 sequel to Old Yeller is every bit as bad as the first movie was good.

The outcome is predictable, but unexplainable is all the levity and high jinks.
