If you loved Darby O'Gill and the Little People, try Old Yeller
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Stevenson, and they sit in Adventure / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Darby O'Gill and the Little People, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Old Yeller is
Ah yes, the heartbreaking boy-and-his-dog genre gets another workout. In post-Civil War Texas, a stray dog helps a boy protect his family's ranch while Dad is away. It's a fine film, if you happen to have a box of tissues handy.
