There's nothing hip about this vintage Disney film that begins and ends with a corny song about the "best doggone dog in the West." But that's the beauty of Old Yeller, originally released in 1957. The simple, heart-warming story of a boy who bonds with a feisty stray dog in 1860s Texas is full of 1950s sensibilities: A Donna Reed-style perfect "Momma" (Dorothy McGuire) who knows best, a couple of brothers who quarrel in the best sitcom tradition, and a father (Fess Parker, in a small role) who goes off to provide for his family, leaving his older boy (Tommy Kirk) in charge and his incredibly cute younger one (Kevin Corcoran) to steal as many scenes in the movie as he possibly can. With Old Yeller at his side, Kirk becomes a little man, who in the end must make a decision so... Learn More

This movie is absolutely racist. I can't believe reviewers do not point this out. How many times are the Natives called "Injuns" or "Savages"? The Indians whoop, they holler, they steal, and they hurt dogs for nothing other than fun. Right.
When someone in the movie points out that the whites have taken over the land and the Indians...oops...I'm sorry "Injuns" feel threatened...he is told that it is okay to hate Injuns because they scalped some guy's family.
The stereotypical depictions are absolutely despicable. This is why kids always made fun of me (A Native American) when I was in school. Where is my Disney movie depicting my great-great-great-great grandfather Chief White Antelope getting scalped by the white guys? (Note: That is a historical event actually...
