And terribly sad.
Cororan was also “Toby Tyler”.
RIP

Yes it was and when I watched it as a kid, I cried at the end........
Old Yeller was the most remembered and revered movie that I have ever watched in my lifetime and that was over 50 years ago........

I do so miss the original Disney Channel of the 1980s. I have to believe the shows as aired then would be moneymakers.

This is the first movie where I cried my heart. I could never watch it again.

Disney had a group of actors who appeared in a bunch of movies in the 50s and I guess 60s. There was some switching in and out but the same ones kept showing up.
They were some pretty good movies too.

I am 64. Moochie was my first crush. I cried and cried at Old Yeller and Johnny Shiloh. RIP, Mr Corcoran. Sounds like, unlike many child actors, your life was stable and happy....so glad for you.

Moochie is dead.
Good Lord, I'm getting old.

Wasn’t he also Johnny Shiloh the drummer boy in another Disney movie. He was in most of the Disney movies that I watched as a kid.
To: Dacula
RIP Kevin. Thanks for the childhood memories.

They were some pretty good movies too. And we'll never the likes of them again, given our PC culture.
Corcoran was also in Swiss Family Robinson, where he had such memorable lines as "Look! There's a man getting squished!"
Those Disney films from that era would be considered brutal today, as they were frequently dark in depiction of real life.
Sadly, there's no going back.

I came home from work one day to find my kids and three other kids—all under five—watching this movie. My wife and her friends were in the kitchen killing a bottle of wine. I asked them if any of them had ever seen this movie. None of them had seen it. But it looked like a wholesome movie about a boy and his dog.
I just smiled, shook my head and went to play in my garage.
I heard tormented cries of sorrow about 45 minutes later. I chuckled in the garage before going in to see the chaos.
I loved that movie.
