Movie description:
Young Travis Coates is left to take care of the family ranch with his mother and younger brother while his father goes off on a cattle drive in the 1860’s. When a yellow mongrel comes for an uninvited stay with the family, Travis reluctantly adopts the dog. After a series of scrapes involving raccoons, snakes, bears and all manner of animals, Travis grows to love and respect Old Yeller, who comes to have a profound effect on the boy’s life.The simple, heart-warming story of a boy who bonds with a feisty stray dog in 1860’s Texas, is full of 1950s sensibilities: A Donna Reed-style perfect Momma who knows best, a couple of brothers who quarrel in the best sitcom tradition, and a father who goes off to provide for his family, leaving his older boy in charge and his incredibly cute younger one 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 heart-breaking that it’s one of filmdom’s most memorable moments.
