I never saw it either, but since the dog had to have pooped in the house sometime I choose B.

The Dread Pirate GeorgeD20 May 2012 8:49 a.m. PST

1) yes did. I just couldn't believe my parents took me to see this instead of a Bruce Lee movie :)

Ciao GeorgeD.

I have no idea what 'Old Yeller' is about.

sneakgun20 May 2012 9:31 a.m. PST

Faithful dog gets rabies and has to be shot…this is from the same guys that shot Bambi's Mom. Refused to see it.

John D Salt20 May 2012 9:51 a.m. PST

Never seen it.

I believe it is by the Disney organisation, so I shall make every effort never to see it.

All the best,

John.

Based on the Newberry Award winning children's novel by Fred Gipson. So not exactly a Disney creation.

Klebert L Hall20 May 2012 10:14 a.m. PST

No, but I yelled at the end of Old Crier.

JimSelzer20 May 2012 10:18 a.m. PST

still do

Brent2751120 May 2012 10:28 a.m. PST

Yep, as a matter of fact I think more of my dog then I do most people

T Meier20 May 2012 10:39 a.m. PST

Never saw 'Old Yeller' but something I have noticed is I'm inclined to cry more easily over sentimental stuff than when I was young.

Also, and I don't know if it's connected, but my nerve isn't as good. I used to be quite cool even in very dangerous situations but now while my head still says "Lets do this" my body says "Boss! Oh boss! Maybe we should think about it".

David Miniature Armies20 May 2012 10:55 a.m. PST

yep

vtsaogames20 May 2012 10:55 a.m. PST

Can't remember that far back.

Yeah, But I think more of your dog than I do most people, and I don't even know you or your dog…

Florida Tory20 May 2012 11:31 a.m. PST

Of course.

Never saw the film.

wrgmr120 May 2012 11:43 a.m. PST

Yes, like a baby…

JRacel20 May 2012 11:46 a.m. PST

Pretty sure I did, but that was more than 30 years ago in school elementary school. I doubt teachers could even show it today without parents getting upset about their little darlings being traumatized for life. Seems like we saw this and the animated Watership Down several times in elementary school, no wonder I am so messed up.

Japan has their own horrific story for kids. It's about having to kills some elephants during WWII. Completely screwed up generations of traumatized children. Thinking about this reminded me to order a copy in English for my wife to use with here Japanese history students. Tempted to get one for my brother's kids for Christmas, but he would kill me.

If elephants don't mess up the kids they later show animated films like Barefoot Gin (aftermath of Hiroshima) and Graves of the Fireflies (children and the fire bombing of Kobe). The antiwar effort in Japan made some very interesting choices that would get most American teachers fire for showing children.

True, but Japan and US ideas of propriety are radically different to begin with.

sumerandakkad20 May 2012 2:36 p.m. PST

I'm with T MEIER on this though never as tough.
I preferred Big Red.

Yes but I think I was 6.

LeadAsbestos20 May 2012 2:47 p.m. PST

Didnt see Old Yeller, but had to choke back tears for the beginning of "Up"…

cfuzwuz20 May 2012 2:53 p.m. PST

1 Saw it at the movies. Have refused to watch it again for over 50 years.

I have two rules about watching TV in my home. No Old Yeller and no J#%E!

SpuriousMilius20 May 2012 3:23 p.m. PST

Not since 1957.

Joe Fish20 May 2012 4:21 p.m. PST

Yes, I was 5, and that was 1957.

Like a baby and I still would if I could ever bring myself to watch it again.

bandit86 Supporting Member of TMP20 May 2012 8:55 p.m. PST

Like a baby at the book and the movie.
Did at Marley and me too

Old Slow Trot21 May 2012 7:33 a.m. PST

They even have a dog food brand named after the character,but no-I'd switch channels before it got too heavy.

Klebert L Hall21 May 2012 7:48 a.m. PST

Dogs are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy

Which is undoubtedly why they have such short lifespans.

Saw it on first release--cried like the Lotto player one digit short.

Not only that, but I forced my family, dog, turtle, and two Jehovah's Witnesses we lured into the house, to be vaccinated.

Still have a funny bump on my arm…

Glad to see some of us can admit to human feelings.

I was mighty misty eyed.

I have never seen it but I am almost sure I would be a 1.

Valator21 May 2012 6:02 p.m. PST

Nope. I cry at the end of "Brian's Song" and on payday when I endorse my check.

Dasher06 Jun 2012 9:52 p.m. PST

Knowing how Old Yeller ends, I have avoided ever seeing it, and hope to do s until the day I die.
I cry enough over my own dogs.
