It's hard to critcize this old chestnut, and I admit I let my 4 year old see it many times. It does have significant scary parts though, e.g., boy gets attacked by wild hogs, mother gets attacked by rabid wolf. There is also period-related sexism (the father leaves the nearly adolescent son in charge of the farm and tells him to take care of his mother). I don't think I'll be destroying anyone's enjoyment if I mention that the end is very sad because the protagonist has to deal with crushing loss (Old Yeller has to be "put down").

please let your kids see this it will help them learn a few leasons about normal life of way back when and now also the future u are doing a good thing to let then watch this movie good choice byeeee

old yeller is a great movie for your young kids but there is a little bit of violence when old yeller is fighting a wolf a bear and a hog.

This movie is one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. It's almost impossible for me to cry during movies, but this made me so sad. It's a one-time only movie for me.

I wached it with my fifth grade class. it was ok. the best thing about it is that it is also a book, and i took an AR test on it and got a 90. (that means i only missed 1 question!!)

I think this is a fantastic family movie or a great movie just to cuddle up and watch by yourself. Be sure to have a box of tissues on hand as it is one of the best tear jerkers I've ever watched. The only thing that might be iffy for younger kids is *warning, spoiler alert!* he has to shoot Old Yeller in the end. Kids may not understand or get the wrong idea so be sure to take note of that. Otherwise is a perfect, clean family movie! :D

This is a great movie but definently to voilent for 9- kids. I loved this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
