Robert Stevenson' Old Yeller (1957) is quintissential Disney. A film great for kids, that will have the entire audience using up one of those new-fangled personal packs of Kleenex c. 1957.
Very similar to the archival situation with Pollyanna, Old Yeller was in sad shape.
But thanks to the folks at Disney and whatever post facility did the scanning and color, you'd hardly know it.
Old Yeller is a classic that hasn't been seen in decades in decent condition, and now that it's arrived it deserves to be in every serious cinephile's library -- if you can get your hands on a copy. It's currently limited to the Disney Movie Club, which isn't a bad thing, as long as you haven't been keeping up to date with your Disney purchases, and need the deals they offer.
A wonderful film, and a splendid Blu-ray.
