OLD YELLER: Walt Disney’s first and quintessential film about a boy’s love for his dog is now an American original as much as it is a Disney classic. No film better portrays the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship.

But Old Yeller soon proves he is anything but “yellow” when he protects the family farm and saves Travis’ life. From its charming simplicity to its gripping conclusion, the drama, humor and heart of OLD YELLER belong in everyone’s collection. SAVAGE SAM: Now discover what happens next in SAVAGE SAM, the sequel to Walt Disney’s classic adventure OLD YELLER, where adopting a new pup sets the stage for more thrills in the untamed West. With his two young masters Travis and Arliss Coates (Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran), gentle and true-blue Sam faces even greater dangers than Yeller. From the ferocious attacks of wolves and wildcats to tracking renegade wrongdoers, our four-legged hero proves his pedigree. SAVAGE SAM is a compelling story of love, devotion, and trust that is sure to win your heart.

This classic family film made a star of 12-year-old Elizabeth Taylor in the title role as spunky Velvet Brown, a girl who’s determined to enter her horse, Pie, in the Grand National Steeplechase. Critic Pauline Kael called it “One of the most likeable movies of all time.” Mickey Rooney costars as a young man who helps Velvet train Pie for the big race. At the last minute, Velvet herself has to ride Pie in the tournament and cuts her hair to pass for a jockey. Anne Revere won an Oscar as Velvet’s mother, as did editor Robert J. Kern, who cut together a terrifically exciting horse race. Donald Crisp and Angela Lansbury are also featured as members of the Brown family. –Jim Emerson

This lavish set contains film versions of the five major works by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who helped define the American musical landscape and rewrite the direction of musical theater. After enjoying extremely successful careers working with others, Rodgers and Hammerstein first teamed up in 1943 for the prairie tale
Oklahoma!, with songs including “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'” and “People Will Say We’re in Love.” The subsequent 1955 film starred Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones, who teamed up again for 1956’s
Carousel. While that film’s dark nature made it less popular than its predecessor, the score (“If I Loved You,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone”) was Rodgers’s favorite.
The King and I (also 1956) featured stage star Yul Brynner as the King of Siam and Deborah Kerr as schoolteacher Anna Leonowens, who must learn Asian customs even as she tries to instill some of her Western ones. The somewhat bloated version of
South Pacific (1958) follows two couples during World War II and features standards such as “Some Enchanted Evening” and “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” from stars Mitzi Gaynor and Rossano Brazzi. The last film,
The Sound of Music (1965), proved to be the most popular, with Julie Andrews winning the hearts of seven children and their father with her blissful songs. And if the perhaps saccharine music and plot may test the patience of some, there’s no doubt that songs such as “My Favorite Things” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” have charmed audiences around the world for decades.
Accompanying the Big 5 in this set is the relatively minor State Fair from 1945 (though it does have “It Might as Well Be Spring” and “It’s a Grand Night for Singing”). Some may prefer other entries in the R&H canon such as Flower Drum Song or the television production Cinderella, but State Fair was included because it was one of the five films (not including Sound of Music) released in 1999 in sumptuous remasterings that allow their scores and locales to truly shine. The remasterings ensure good sound and picture quality throughout this historic collection. –David Horiuchi

Purportedly one of Walt Disney’s most personal pet projects, Darby O’Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby O’Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he’s more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and O’Gill doesn’t know what will become of himself and his daughter. He snags three spectacular opportunities, however, when he catches the king of the leprechauns. This film is whimsical without being silly, supernatural without being outlandish, and all and all a treat for the whole family. –Keith Simanton
