AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
jessical-30977 Listen, everyone knows this movie is heartbreaking. Not only is it heartbreaking but it's a FANTASTIC film. Which makes it even more heartbreaking. Dorothy MacGuire and Tommy Kirk stand out in this film. Dorothy has subtle acting moments that lend themselves to treasured gems (her moment of realization KILLS me every time). Tommy Kirk is a KNOCK OUT in this movie. His performance during THAT scene is what brings the audience to tears. Yeah, shooting your own dog is sad, and man do I love that dang dog, but Tommy's performance enraptures the audience and brings down the house. As sad it is, I can't help but recommend this title. A great classic.
davidallen-84122 This is absolutely one of my favourite movies of all time and I watch it at least twice a year. I first saw it at our magical Civic Theatre,down here in Auckland,N.Z. with my younger brother who was just old enough to appreciate it as much as I did. Two weeks later,we rushed up to our local cinema to see it again. I love every single aspect of "Old Yeller". Dorothy McGuire is so right in her role;very motherly,warm and lovable.She is pivotal to the whole movie and provides the necessary "star" name.The two boys are great and it is nice to see Chuck Connors as a man of integrity,following his scary portrayal in "The Big Country".I know I'll be returning to this classic movie regularly for the rest of my life.
Rainey Dawn As sad and sappy as this movie is I LOVE IT! This movie will bring you tears if you have a heart. It's a good solid down to earth story that many people can identify with - maybe that's why it is a favorite classic among many people.The movie/book Old Yeller reminds me of another good movie/book entitled "Where the Red Fern Grows" which is along similar lines as Old Yeller - A sad story of a boy and his dog(s).Old Yeller is definitely worth watching even if you are not a fan of Disney films. And a good one to watch with your kids.9/10
lagudafuad Old Yeller is a culture icon, a movie that has stood long and I believe plans to stay that long, as long as no one tries to remake it. Based on a Fred Gipson's 1956 children book of the same name, Old Yeller is about a man's best friend, a dog who was ready to do anything to protect his human family.The movie is somewhat an icon, it has found its way into the homes of many, even those who haven't seen the movie have heard about it, thanks to references in the ever popular F.R.I.E.N.D.S TV series, where Phoebe didn't know that Yeller died in the end (Sorry, Spoiler for all of you who haven't seen the movie yet) or it's reference in Justice League as Green Lantern/John Stewart's favorite movie.The movie features a good cast from the kids to the grown-ups everyone was just perfect; then I have to give Disney a good pat on the back for the dog training. It was just wonderful to see the dog's reactions and his behaviors showed that time went into the training of the dog.Even the child actor who played Arliss was good, he was impressive in his portrayal and I ended up loving him as his pocket never seemed to lack anything but fun.Yeller was a stray dog that happened to come into the life of the Coates family when their father, went out to search for work.His coming was welcomed by the youngest of the Coates, Arliss who always wanted a dog, but the eldest Travis was not so happy to have this new inclusion into the family and was ready to do anything to get Yeller out of the house. Travis changed his mind when one day he was in trouble and there was nobody around but Old Yeller to jump in and save him. (I'm purposely leaving out enough details so that you can enjoy the movie if you have not seen it yet)Walt Disney himself was the producer of this family hit, and it was well received by all who has seen it, the movie can be said to stand as one of the best films about a boy and his dog, although Walt Disney (the company) has tried many other dog and boy movies like Homeward Bound or Savage Sam, but none comes close to the kind of dramatic, adventure fun that Old Yeller delivers.The movie was well received as said and it brought in cash for Disney, so much so that the movie has been re-released, you will always find the DVD of Old Yeller available anywhere, so if like me you waited this long to see it, then maybe you should not wait any longer.
