I like this a lot because he's not telling him to just move on or get over it. He's saying to let himself feel the hurt that comes from things like that, but not to lose himself over it and never let himself be happy again. Take the good with the bad. Really healthy advice compared to some of the mentalities people had at the time.
Considering the time period, it was a perfect speech to give to his son. Back then, there weren’t a lot of time for talking about emotions. Things needed to be done or you didn’t survive. The fact that his father took the time to assess and acknowledge his feelings in a thoughtful and concise way speaks to his worth as a good father.
Believe it or not, I listened to this speech one time years ago when I was going through a tough tough time. Very depressed and hopeless. And this talk gave me some real hope.
I've never forgotten this speech from the dad to his heartbroken son. I saw "Old Yeller" when it first came out. I've especially thought of it when I've had to say goodbye to beloved pets, places, and people.
Really dumb take that only men deal with the grief of losing loved ones and are the only ones to benefit from Jim’s monologue, lmaooo. This a universal experience among humans.
This speech is what every young man going through a hard time needs to hear, I wish every boy had a father in this way, this speech has helped me even since I was little.
Best coming of age movie ever. I saw Old Yeller when I was about 5 or 6 years old, way to young to understand and appreciate its wisdom. I've watched it several times since, but today I think I will watch it again and savor every minute.
People lose dogs all the time and it's hard and it hurts. I've lost quite a few dogs in my life but then I would get a new one and start over. It makes me feel better but it doesn't make me forget the previous dogs as it shouldn't. But like Travis's father says, losing someone you care about is part of life. Life isn't always easy or fair.
I saw this movie once, when I was 21. I remembered that the father had given a compassionate speech to his son, that I needed to hear, 25 years later. I watched the movie and yep, the words still rang true.
when I was little I really didn't understand what the dad was saying. now as a grown man I understand. there are times in life when things are really rough. sometimes you cannot forget things or want to forget them. those are the times we have to try to look on the bright side
This is my favorite scene in the movie. "He's part Old Yeller." "But, he ain't Old Yeller." Absolute heartbreaker to lose an animal that is your best friend.
the father in old yeller, Atticus in to kill a mockingbird, and mufasa in The Lion King are in my opinion three of the best fathers in cinima. in to kill a mockingbird Atticus says to his son, "there are a lot of ugly things in this world son, I wish I can protect you from all of them but that's never possible." in The Lion King mufasa says to his son," being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."
This speech dilutes nothing and, doesn't sugarcoat, and still ends with a touch of hope. How many family films nowadays do this? They don't all have to be brutal, but at treat kids with respect.
Somehow, in this day and age where dogs have practically become family, this speech and the ending of Old Yeller are much more powerful and relevant than ever - something that Disney of today simply doesn't have anymore
Thanks to the uploader I'm going through the worst time of my life right now and I don't know what to do...I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got faulsley accused of a crime I didn't commit I'm looking at no less than twenty years in prison I'm so scared my mom keeps telling me to keep looking to God I wish I could feel his/her presents then I'd know everything is okay whoever reads this please pray for me I already spent 14 months in jail just waiting to be bonded out this happened two years ago and I'm still waiting for my day in court
I lost at least 3 dogs in my childhood, the events were not near as dramatic, as a child I watched this movie and I remember thinking to myself "is just a dog, get over it". But this last scene made me think that some day I could lose something more important to me and I have to accept it, suffer a little, and move on.
This sounds like the kind of advice that my grandfather would have given me when I was young. “Just keep looking for something good, son. Keep looking and you’ll find it.”
with the coronavirus thing happening I am starting to understand what the father is saying. when things are bad you have to look on the bright side of them.
Watching this scene again after my cat, Catarina had to be euthanized a little over a month ago(10/18/20). What the dad says is so true. You can't stay stuck in deep grief or you'll see nothing good in your life. At some point, you need to allow yourself to feel happiness a little at a time.
Ricco It was so very well done. Anybody who has ever suffered a tragic loss can clearly see how deeply Travis is grieving...especially dog owners. To many, the death of a dog hits harder than the loss of a human. The father here understands that and shares compassion, understanding, and wisdom.
Tommy kirk you do awesome job in tough last scene I don't think I ever ganna get over you your 16 in this one please come back please tommy kirk you gave use fans alot of emotions on screen
when I was very young I didn't really comprehend this message. now that I am a lot older I completely understand what the father is saying to Travis. sometimes bad things happen: things you can't forget or even want to forget. when bad things happen you have to cling to the good things in life.
I love how the father communicated this message to his son. Unlike some fathers these days who are so stuck on turning their sons into "tough guys" the father did not come right out and tell his son that he has to get over it like a man. The father acknowledged how his son felt and verified his feelings while still trying to communicate the message to him that he has to keep on being a man.
When Duffy, Mom's Westie died years ago, I was with her when she went out to the same kennel to get another one afterwards. As we stood in front of a gate with maybe a half dozen Westie pups on the other side- THERE HE WAS- Duffy! The very SAME dog. Being a seer I was absolutely SURE of it. That was him all right. She picked out another. I wasn't sure if she had seen him and I didn't say anything, though I wished later I had. She might've thought I was crazy, and I feared her scorn at the thought, but maybe she just didn't see. She really really loved Duffy and took his loss hard, but had talked about how his ears were too floppy for a show dog or something, and she chose a heavier dogs with ears that stood up. But THERE HE WAS- at the same kennel she'd gotten him before. It made sense to me. God is good, and not the punisher people who want to make God in THEIR image like to think.
This movie and most other Disney movies of the 50s and 60s are classics of good taste and moral values. Walt is spinning in his grave to see what his company has become.
Shut up you stupid sap. Longing for a time you never even experienced for yourself. You are aware that there was still segregation at the time of the making of this movie correct? Or how about the most devastating modern war of all time that happened about a decade before? Tired of you idiots longing for the past on any and every video on TH-cam just to get likes from idiots.
No life is still life - people get shielded from reality, in rural vic - its life, we had to shoot a dog 6 months ago, sheep injured animals often, its what makes country people appreciate life more and be great full for what we have!
Paradojicamente lo bueno ahí era justo ese momento.. el consejo del padre a su hijo. Ese momento entre ellos dos..despues de ese golpe que le dio la vida.
Why did Old Yeller have to die anyway? It's not fair he had to die like that. Or in other words, why does rabies even exist in this world alone with other incurable diseases? Just makes you question God and the point of doctors if they can't bother to find cures for diseases, especially in this day and age, for both pets and humans. Damn rabies disease. Why it even exists still makes me angry.
Yeller was never Travis's dog. Travis not only killed Yeller, but he caused Yeller to be killed. He then tries to steal claim Arliss other dog who he didn't even want and tossed him aside. Travis is the older brother in the story of the prodigal son jealous and spiteful of his younger brother who is the "Chief"
Sounds similar to the Abe Lincoln quote from Pollyanna. No knocking but good advice is still good advice thank you, TH-cam Algorithms, TH-cam Uploader and Disney.
She would be scavenged on and spread the disease. Plus much easier to bury a dog where body cannot be gotten to considering cows and bulls can weight 2000 pounds or more
One of the most overrated movies ever, in my opinion. However, I will admit this scene has a geniunley good message to teach to kids. It still doesn't make up for the empty sentimentality, one dimensional characters, and just the overall cheapness of it, but hey, that's just me.
@@DanielF892 well, Tokyo Story is my favorite movie of all time and that came out in 1953. The whole "it's of its' time argument" doesn't work. There's an endless list of excellent films that came out in the 50s and to me Old Yeller is not among them.
Hamza Rouri . If you are going to criticize something, give your reasons and explain them. How is it overrated? Where does it have empty sentimentality? Who are the one dimensional characters? How was it very cheapy. I think it was and is very important to have a film acknowledge that a pets death is very keenly felt and it is important to be understanding towards the grieving owner. I also think it is important to show children they can do well in stressful and demanding situations. I thought the characters were very well developed and the feelings they showed were well acted, making them feel so real.
The father is not really saying forget it. Like he said it's not something you can or want to forget. What he is saying is that when time's get rough you have to look for something good to take the place of the bad. In the case of Old Yeller, Travis has to remember the good times he and Old Yeller had together and hang onto all of it.
“How you gonna forget something like that?” “Well, I guess I don’t quite mean that. I guess it’s not a thing you can forget. Maybe not even a thing you want to forget.” Can’t believe you didn’t even listen properly and you want to criticise it. Yikes.

A father explaining to his son about the facts of life and death is something everybody needs to hear from their own fathers.
True!!!
Or mothers, as they are the harbingers of life.🤰🏻
wish i had a dedicated one myself but I've had other figures to look up to as well as the lord himself.
Believe it or not, I listened to this speech one time years ago when I was going through a tough tough time. Very depressed and hopeless. And this talk gave me some real hope.
I don’t believe it

Good pieces of wisdom can be found anywhere.
I've never forgotten this speech from the dad to his heartbroken son. I saw "Old Yeller" when it first came out. I've especially thought of it when I've had to say goodbye to beloved pets, places, and people.
I believe it
My favorite scene in the movie as well. the dad hits him with reality that ever child should take note. Love this movie overall
After losing my dog suddenly a year ago (one year tomorrow) this scene helped so much with my grief. Dad’s advice is legit.
Every young man needs to here this
Hear, Hear!
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment understanding the reality of being a man.
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment he understood his son feelings and help him work through his grief and life will be hardships.

@@angelwings967 Really dumb that's what YOU took from it.

RIP Tommy Kirk, this and Shaggy Dog were two of my favorites growing up.
People lose dogs all the time and it's hard and it hurts. I've lost quite a few dogs in my life but then I would get a new one and start over. It makes me feel better but it doesn't make me forget the previous dogs as it shouldn't. But like Travis's father says, losing someone you care about is part of life. Life isn't always easy or fair.
I needed to hear his dads wisdom. Ive been living the bad.
I feel you
Me, too.
This is the moral of the story and one of the greatest life lesson speeches of all time
The moral is get your pet rabies shots
I saw this movie once, when I was 21. I remembered that the father had given a compassionate speech to his son, that I needed to hear, 25 years later. I watched the movie and yep, the words still rang true.
when I was little I really didn't understand what the dad was saying. now as a grown man I understand.
there are times in life when things are really rough. sometimes you cannot forget things or want to forget them. those are the times we have to try to look on the bright side
I’m 21 years old and that’s some of the best advice I’ve ever heard. Wish I heard it sooner
One of the best advice, a father can give to his son
We need male role models like that dad in modern cinema
This is my favorite scene in the movie. "He's part Old Yeller." "But, he ain't Old Yeller." Absolute heartbreaker to lose an animal that is your best friend.
the father in old yeller, Atticus in to kill a mockingbird, and mufasa in The Lion King are in my opinion three of the best fathers in cinima.
in to kill a mockingbird Atticus says to his son, "there are a lot of ugly things in this world son, I wish I can protect you from all of them but that's never possible."
in The Lion King mufasa says to his son," being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."
What a marvelous scene. Everyone deserves a parent like Jim.
thats some damn good advice
This speech dilutes nothing and, doesn't sugarcoat, and still ends with a touch of hope. How many family films nowadays do this? They don't all have to be brutal, but at treat kids with respect.
I feel like our anxiety riddled youth could learn from this speech.
My dad would’ve been like you’ll be alright LOL
“Walk it off” lol
Somehow, in this day and age where dogs have practically become family, this speech and the ending of Old Yeller are much more powerful and relevant than ever - something that Disney of today simply doesn't have anymore
Great Disney flick!!! It stands the test of time!!!
To me that's some of the best advice a father can give his son.
I think most kids growing up need this advice
This film should be shown in schools for kids aged 12
I was definitely younger than 12 when I watched this in school. Times go by fast.
Thanks to the uploader I'm going through the worst time of my life right now and I don't know what to do...I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got faulsley accused of a crime I didn't commit I'm looking at no less than twenty years in prison I'm so scared my mom keeps telling me to keep looking to God I wish I could feel his/her presents then I'd know everything is okay whoever reads this please pray for me I already spent 14 months in jail just waiting to be bonded out this happened two years ago and I'm still waiting for my day in court

This sounds like the kind of advice that my grandfather would have given me when I was young. “Just keep looking for something good, son. Keep looking and you’ll find it.”
Saying it's one thing and feeling it's another.

I feel like we should not talk about coronavirus on a old yeller video tbh.

This ending does kinda make up for what happened to Yeller
A very wise man.
Father knows best here. Very wise words. Fess Parker was one of my favorites as a kid.
Fess Parker didn't have many scenes in this film, but this one was probably the most important part of the whole movie.
such a touching scene ever!

I for one need to listen to this for the sake of me becoming a grown man. 🙏
What happened to movies
Fess Parker best father figure out there.
Love this movie !!!🍿
I saw this when it came out, about age 9. Made a huge impact on me. That said, the book is even better if you can believe it.
Most boys today don't have their father to tell them these things.
I just came to the realization that the man playing his dad is none other than Fess Parker! The man man who played Daniel Boone.
Fess Parker is the father who leaves his home in Texas to drive cattle in Kansas, leaving his son in charge.
Hands down best scene of any movie so deep
Neat note, the dad played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, as well as almost played McCloud.
when I was very young I didn't really comprehend this message.
now that I am a lot older I completely understand what the father is saying to Travis.
sometimes bad things happen: things you can't forget or even want to forget.
when bad things happen you have to cling to the good things in life.

How come Old Yeller gets a proper burial when Old Rose (who died of the same illness) had to get burned up?
She would be scavenged on and spread the disease. Plus much easier to bury a dog where body cannot be gotten to considering cows and bulls can weight 2000 pounds or more
Rose was considered livestock and Yeller was part of the family.
That plus she was sick with hydrophobia. They needed to burn the carcass to prevent the disease from spreading.
man, how did they ever survive with out perscription medication back then.
I wonder what type of underwear those men wore at the time
