Synopsis[]
No better film captures the powerful emotions of hope, courage and friendship than Disney’s treasured and much beloved classic, Old Yeller. The quintessential tale of a boy’s love with his dog has touched the hearts of millions, its enduring legacy growing with each new generation.
Set amidst the landscape of 1860s Texas, a young boy named Travis (Tommy Kirk) wants nothing to do with the lop-eared stray. But Old Yeller quickly proves himself a loyal friend, protecting the family farm, and saving Travis’s life. Soon, they became inseparable pals, sharing joyous experiences and learning valuable lessons about growing up.
And now, you can experience the love and warmth of this memorable movie like never before. Fully restored to its original theatrical splendor, this digitally remastered video edition is better than ever and “still one of the best!” (Leonard Maltin)
