You better quit rockin’ my dog!
Rockin’ meant something different in those days......
I called my grandkids mom one evening and I could hear the oldest boy sobbing his heart out. I asked her what was wrong with him. She said “ he just got done watching Old Yeller” He was about 7 at the time.
This is a neat seven-minute video about Disney live-action films. It includes an interview with a mature Kevin Corcoran (around 4:38).

Thank you for the memories, Moochie......and RIP.
Yeah, I watched it once...never again.
“Yes, Mama. But he was my dog. I’ll do it.”
I am 68, so was a bit older- gut wrenching sobs. Was Kevin in Corkie and White Shadow?
Any male, over the age of 40-50 who doesn't have a sigmoidpscopy..is just plain nuts..Despite all the jokes, it's not that bad..the prep is the worst part..and even better, if it's a clean test, and if there is no family history..you're OK for another 10 years.
OK, all you guy FReepers...fess up..and, like the FReepathon, let's "get 'er done!"
Thanks for the post; pic. Old Yeller - one of my all-time favorite movies. Condolences to family and friends of Kevin Corcoran.
I want my youth back so bad. I hate this place I live in now.
The consummate Disney kid! RIP
Drummer Boy of Shiloh
Back when Disney made good movies ...
Raise your hand if you didn't. Hands? Hands? Hands? No hands raised! Everyone cried at the end.
I saw it as an adult and cried.
I also saw THE YEARLING as a kid and cried.
I had to put a wonderful dog down a few months ago. I called my family and we all cried.
RIP
Nor I........
also Moochie of the Little League. This guy was a Disney work horse as a kid.
Yea, we sure are. But at least we had the opportunity to see the best movies ever produced..............
Yep, I know what you mean.
