Old Yeller Movie Download

I would have just shot the dog and be done with it!
I know that many people have a soft place in their heart for “Old Yeller”. In fact, the country group Confederate Railroad even sang a song where they lament that they should have KNOWN a woman was no good because ‘she didn’t cry when Old Yeller died’…and I guess they wouldn’t think much of me, either! I did NOT particularly enjoy “Old Yeller” for one very important reason–this Labrador was probably the meanest dog I’ve ever seen on film! It loved fighting with other animals and when Yeller got rabies and needed to be put down, it was the result of him attacking yet another animal! So, although Disney desperately wanted me to cry along with Yeller’s owner at his passing, I just thought it was a blessing!

If you DO want to see a film about a boy and his animal, may I suggest a different Disney film? I just saw “So Dear to My Heart” and loved it. It’s about a young boy who raises a lamb–and the film is sweet throughout. In fact, this film debuted about a decade BEFORE “Old Yeller” and this later film is an obvious copy. See this other film–you’ll see that it’s dandy entertainment throughout…and the animal isn’t a nasty killing machine!Read More
