Old Yeller
Information technology's nearly impossible to discuss Walt Disney's One-time Yeller without jumping straight into a consideration of the 1957 film's tertiary human action raison d'etre – the decease of the eponymous mongrel at the easily of his grief-stricken immature owner (Tommy Kirk). Without this tragic turn of events, the story (based on a novel by Texas prairie writer Fred Gipson) would take made passable amusement and still turned a turn a profit for the Buena Vista Distribution Company without invalidating New York Times critic Bosley Crowther's assessment of it as "a squeamish, trim little family picture." With the inclusion of this unexpected and entirely horrific complexity, the tale became fable – perhaps fifty-fifty a generational rite of passage. Stephen King might never take written Cujo had Quondam Yeller non become infected with rabies while protecting his adopted frontier family from an afflicted gray wolf; one of the all-time laugh lines in the 1981 military one-act Stripes is when loose cannon not-com Pecker Murray rallies the troops with the truth-or-dare question "Who cried when Quondam Yeller got shot?" The twist in the wagging tail of Old Yeller has in the one-half century since its release become a popular cultural dial line for such sitcoms as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Friends (in which it is referred to as a "ill doggy snuff film"), while in the syndicated comic strip Garfield, the lasagna-loving, dog-hating fat cat praises the picture show'southward "happy" ending.
Love it or detest it, the death of Old Yeller is thematically consistent with Walt Disney production of the post-WWII era, in which traumatic turning points were central to the studio's artful. Disney's brand of tough love meant that Bambi [1942] had to encounter his female parent gunned down earlier his very eyes while Dumbo [1941] was torn from his ain mother's embrace and sold into a kind of slavery and Pinocchio [1940] and his tearaway chums were turned into braying donkeys.
Some cultural critics have gone so far as to accuse Walt Disney of inflicting unnecessary trauma on a generation of innocents. In a 1993 issue of Bright Lights Moving picture Journal, writer C. Jerry Kutner declared "Former Yeller isn't just about child abuse, it is child corruption." Notwithstanding none of the particulars cited to support this argument are Walt Disney'southward invention and come instead directly from the 1956 novel by Fred Gipson.
Born Frederick Benjamin Gipson in 1908 on a cotton subcontract in Mason, Texas, Gipson worked his way toward a journalism degree at the University of Texas at Austin every bit a goat driver. While writing cowboy brusque stories and novels, he toiled as a reporter for The Daily Texan, the San Angelo Standard-Times and The Denver Post, among other papers. Gipson published his offset novel in 1946 - The Fabulous Empire: Colonel Zack Miller's Story - and had his commencement success three years afterward when Hound Dog Man was included in Doubleday's Volume-of-the-Calendar month Club. His novel One-time Yeller was inspired by his maternal gramps's recollections of borderland life, which included an anecdote of how the family's herding domestic dog became infected with rabies and had to be put downwardly with a musket round. Gipson traveled to Burbank to aid in Disney's adaptation and to bestow his blessing on the project but couldn't wait to quit the racket and congestion of Los Angeles for his native Bricklayer, Texas, where he died in 1973.
Tightly constructed around a series of episodic vignettes and directed with a sure manus past Disney mainstay Robert Stevenson, Old Yeller was filmed at the 700 acre Gilt Oak Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley, thirty miles north of Disney. Utilizing a pocket-sized cast (every bit one of the actors put it, "the only extras were chickens"), the picture show benefits from warm and winning performances by Fess Parker (whose screen time amounts to less than fifteen minutes), Dorothy McGuire, a pre-Rifleman Chuck Connors and gifted child actors Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran and Beverly Washburn. Kirk and Corcoran would play brothers in five films (amidst them Swiss Family unit Robinson [1960] and Old Yeller's 1963 sequel Brutal Sam) but Kirk's promising career derailed later on his homosexuality proved a deal-breaker for Disney. (An arrest for marijuana possession besides caused Kirk to lose a choice function in The Sons of Katie Elderberry [1965].)

Notes
An opening sequence showing "Former Yeller" chasing a rabbit is mirrored by the endmost sequence, which portrays the dog's pup equally a worthy offspring. Although the opening credits read "and introducing Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran," both of the child stars had appeared in earlier tv set programs and feature films. Daily Variety reported in July 1956 that Walt Disney had purchased Fred Gipson's novel for live-action filming. At that point, the story had been serialized in Collier's (viii June-6 July 1956) but had not withal been published in volume form. The following information was gathered from studio press materials: In 1953, Spike, the canis familiaris who played One-time Yeller, was discovered in a Van Nuys, CA brute shelter by famed pic animate being trainer Frank Weatherwax. He spent weeks getting acquainted with Doug, the trained bear owned by Byron Nelson, and the other animals in the movie, which were shipped in from various states. A January 31, 1957 Hollywood Reporter news item states that some scenes were shot on location at Lake Sherwood, CA. Although a March 4, 1957 Hollywood Reporter news item adds Slim Duncan to the bandage, his appearance in the pic has not been confirmed. A Nov 20, 1957 Disneyland tv set plan, entitled "The Best Doggone Canis familiaris in the World," served as a promotion for the feature. Old Yeller received wide praise, with the Hollywood Citizen-News reviewer calling the moving picture "the best 'family picture' I've seen in years." Mod sources report that the pic grossed $8 million in its first domestic release.
