No problem i wait your reactions i saw with cody i'm shocked the mist and later spongebob funny
Glad to have you back here again, Nick ☺️💖!! Hope you're doing well ☺️!!
Check out Disney’s new short film Once upon a Studio
What is the surprise movie? Is it John Wick?
I hope 🤞🏻 it’s Stuart little 2
This has got to be one of the most famous endings in movie history. Also one of the saddest. I couldn't stop crying the first time I saw it.
I've had a strange history (and/or lack thereof) of crying to movies (and...your screen name actually looks familiar, so I may have already repeated myself lol)- when I first saw this (with my family) when I was younger, I didn't cry (but possibly because I wasn't alone lol). I recently re-watched the entire thing (after "learning to cry" after watching "Inside Out" lol)... and did cry a little, especially when Yeller first started snarling (because, we know at that point..). Then while watching this reaction, I cried quite a bit more. I used to not cry at all to especially RE-watches of movies.
i still cry watching this and i'm 64.
I cry every time I watch it.
The ending to this film hits me much more harder because I understood how Travis felt when he had to put Yeller down. It hurts like you wouldn’t believe.
Nick: I'm really hoping it's more of a happier family film.
Me: Oh no....
YES my thoughts exactly!
The people who wrote this movie must've been absolute psychopaths.
@@Kaylaw9If by psychopaths, you mean *people NOT sugarcoating the world to their next generation and actually teaching them important messages about loss and closure for the future.*
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM It was a joke
This is one of those movies that really teaches you the harsh bits that we have to go through in life. It really is a coming of age story/theme/lesson that no one can escape. However, it also can show us, as Jim Coates, (the Father of the family) states, "we've got to take the good as well as the bad and not always fret over the bad stuff or life has no meaning". It's not easy to get through this movie, but it has it's great memorable moments.
Hey, Nick, I want to say I'm a big fan of your channel. And I'm glad you're playing an old Disney classic.
Thanks so much!!
@@nickflix8657 You're welcome
Fun fact, the dog is a mastador(a mix between labrador and mastiff). The wolf is a German shepherd wearing makeup.
Old Yeller is such a classic!! It is sad but a great movie overall. I love the mom and how strong-willed and tough she is with life on the farm and dealing with her two boys. She's great!!
Movies like Old Yeller and Bambi are good for kids (probably), ease them into learning about death in a safe way...that, or get them a goldfish or hamster.
Hamster deaths can be traumatic too...
If anyone doesn't want a chance of being traumatized, don't click "read more":
When we were just little kids, a young friend of mine told me how she had a hamster and was trying to "play with / massage" its whiskers... with the tube-shaped end of a vacuum cleaner.
Well, she underestimated how strong the vacuum was, and how light the hamster was, and... well.
i took my then 4 year old daughter to see a bridge to terrebithia. i should had read the book as dad was a mess at the 'scene' but your point is well taken.
Right. Fast foward to today. Thousands of children are being castrated. Disney taught the wrong message. Obviously.
So glad to see you back Nick! I missed your reactions so much.
Your health is the most important thing. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Glad your doing ok i cant wait to watch this classic tomorrow!
Oh man, Nick coming back with one of the most heart breaking stories. 😅 welcome back Nick!
Edit: I suggest the next dog classic you gotta do is Where the Red Fern Grows!
Love that!
oof, good suggestion - that one hits hard.
Definitely heart breaking. When he said he knew nothing about this except "it has a dog in it", I was like "Oh no". Lol.
P.S. Where the Red Fern Grows? (??!!) Yikes really lol.
Me seeing notification that Nick is doing a movie reaction to Old Yeller:
"Oh no. Nick, no! Oh god no! This is going to be heartbreaking! D'=
Oh God not Old Yeller! It's such a beautiful yet sad story about a boy who becomes a man! I still remember the old song of that movie and I used to sing it to my Chihuahua but I would change the name to her name because she was the runt of the litter who defied all odds and lived to the right old age of 17.
Hello, Nick, so good to see you
Haven't seen any of your reaction videos in a month.
This is a very sad movie to watch.
Glad to see you as well Shaine!! Hope you are watching some great movies this week!!
I love your honest, emotional reactions Nick! Watching your face through a movie I know well is pure joy.💖
This and Bambi's mom are two of the saddest animal deaths in cinema.
And events in "The Land Before Time" movie... I think that one may "win" among tearjerkers. Nimona still holds my personal record for MOST times that re-watches (or reactions etc) had triggered tears from me... 15 times! Besides that one, THIS one is the only one that's triggered me twice, or more than once.
I was 10 years old I saw Old Yeller I cried then and 50 years later I'm crying now.
It’s ok Nick, you don’t need to apologize. I’m glad you’re ok and back, and thanks for watching this film
YAYAYAY so happy to see you again Nick, can't wait for your reaction tomorrow as well.
I've seen this movie a couple of times on Disney+ and i think it's a very good movie
I’m glad you posted a video tonight,Nick! I was worried about you.!
I was worried about him, too!
@@sathvamp1 Awwww
Hi Nick! I honestly misses ur videos but now I'm happy that ur back!
Welcome back Nick! Missed your videos, glad to see you well☺️
I’m glad you’re doing better. No need to apologize for taking care of your health.
Great to see a solo reaction from you again. I was starting to miss them.
Hi, Nick! Welcome back! I missed you so much while you were gone. I’m so happy that you’re feeling better.
This is the definitive boy and his dog movie.
Glad to see you're back!!! 💖
You should check out Scarygirl (2023), it's an animated movie and I've not seen much talk about it, but I thought it was really good! 💖 kept thinking throughout watching it that you'd probably love the scenery shots lol
I knew this movie was gonna break you. Loved your reaction. 🙂 The movie was probably made in the 40s / 50s (not sure), but it took place in the 1800s, a little after the Civil War. It's a great coming of age story, and the book is really good too. Gald you liked it!
Good to have you back, Nick!✌
This is another childhood favorite of mine. It's sort of like Charlotte's Web for me in that I read the book way back in the 3rd Grade, and then watched the movie. I have a hard time choosing which I like more, the book or the movie, but the movie did make me and the rest of my entire class cry, so the film did its job well I'd say.
*sees a new Nickflix video* Yay, Nick's back!
*sees what movie he's watching* Oh, Jesus 😳
Spike was the dog actor that played Old Yeller in this movie.
You have to watch the Once Upon a Studio short, is a really good homage to the 100 years of disney animation
HES BACK 🎉 I've missed you dude
I love Old Yeller
Yay!!! NickFilx is back, and like I said, I will always wait for you, and never give up watching your videos
The dad had a wonderful message for his boy and this is the type of father that I have to be more like.
I feel like I'm the most terrible person. I clicked on this video because the thumbnail showed Nick crying. I like emotional reactions.
LOL seriously though, don't feel too bad about it... because... since I'm the same way (and I'm a biologist), I went to the trouble of doing the research regarding WHY we do that, and as far as I can figure it's because the triggered empathy releasers oxytocin, and oxytocin has several pleasant side effects including being anxiolytic (anxiety reducing) and triggers downstream feel-good brain endorphins as well. So... I stopped feeling like a terrible weirdo when I learned that, lol. But also, I like making myself cry too for the same effect. In fact, when I had seen Nick had watched "Nimona", since I'd never heard of it, I went and watched THAT entire movie myself first (better self-reaction that way). And, wow, if you haven't seen "Nimona" yet... I do wonder if you'd have anywhere near the reaction I did. Only as of a few years ago, I used to say I "rarely if ever" cried to movies, but I've been finding more and more of "those types"... and Nimona was the FIRST one to which I actually cried to a RE-watch of it... in fact, a total of 15 separate occasions it triggered me. I was flabbergasted, given how hard it was to find one of those until then!
I remember watching this in Elementary school and crying my eyes out. Such a great movie. It's been years since I've seen it and I cried just as hard.
I've had a strange history (and/or lack thereof) of crying to movies- when I first saw this (with my family) when I was younger, I didn't cry (but possibly because I wasn't alone lol... I [still] find it impossible to cry around other people). I recently re-watched the entire thing (after "learning to cry" after watching "Inside Out" lol)... and did cry a little, especially when Yeller first started snarling (because, we know at that point..). Then while watching this reaction, I cried quite a bit more. I used to not cry at all to especially RE-watches of movies.
Ah, my childhood movie! I watched this so many times I practically memorized all the lines!
I'd only see it ONCE before, at around age 12 (I'm 39 now)... and re-watched it at age 39 and remembered more of it than I'd thought!
@@sathvamp1 Nice!
Glad you're doing better, Nick! When I was growing up, Old Yeller was THE movie we talked about when discussing the saddest films ever made. It is also a really good movie that still holds up today, as evident from your heartfelt reaction. I was bawling just from watching you...😢😢😢
Me too! Which surprised me because... until a few months ago, I wasn't able to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing (Nimona changed all that lol... that one triggered me on 15 separate occasions!). But with this one... when I first saw this (with my family) when I was younger, I didn't cry (but possibly because I wasn't alone lol... I [still] find it impossible to cry around other people). I recently re-watched the entire thing (after "learning to cry" after watching "Inside Out" lol)... and did cry a little, especially when Yeller first started snarling (because, we know at that point..). Then while watching this reaction, I cried quite a bit more.
Never underestimate the old disney movies
It good to see you again! I’m so glad that your okay!
I know i know im nuts, but i watch this movie when i need to left some sad emotions out and calm down before bed. My grandma had the vhs i think i was way too young to see it the first time but oh well!! 😂 Also, new sub here! Love hour reactions!! ❤
I know the biology behind "sad emotions being calming" so you're actually TOTALLY NOT nuts :D I first felt those (they are endorphins and oxytocin by the way) after watching "Inside Out". Then upon finding a couple of other good ones (which triggered MAJORLY strong sob-sessions), I noticed during the entire next DAY I would feel so calm and not worried about anything (I'm usually a "hyper" person). It made a lot more sense when I did a bit of research and discovered that one hormone that gets released along with tears (oxytocin) is a potent anxiolytic (anxiety-reducer) lol.
I'm glad your doing better now nick ❤ i've never seen this film but f.r.i.e.n.d.s spoiled the ending 😢
Hope you'll consider Derry Girls in the future? It's a hilarious and touching Irish sitcom
So glad to see you back!
Finally! I thought you were never coming back! Hope to see more reactions soon!
The actors that plays Fancis and Fritz also played brothers in the Swiss Family Robinson
Nope. Not going down this road. I’m 60 and still remember this.
I get that!😢
that dog did some mighty fine acting. hardest movie to watch for any 8 year-old.
💔 I watched this movie so many times in my childhood and now all grown up, I still cry my eyes out. This was the first time in about 10 years since i last watched it. Old Yeller will always be in my heart ❤
I think in the book, Yeller was a Black Mouthed Cur, which I-as a rancher myself-have used and been around these dogs. They are very good at finding cattle and holding them in place while we work with them. In the movie however, they used a yellow Labrador because compared to cur dogs they’re easier to work with.
I absolutely love this movie, heartbreaking as it is. A true classic! Your reaction was great as always, we definitely re-visited the emotional journey right along with you.
Great to see your back Nick!
You probably get tired of hearing me say this, but i grew up watching this Disney classic too. It's equally heart warming and heart breaking. Im sorry you had to see the sad stuff. Love your reactions Nick, see you later
Nice to see that you’re back l, Nick. I seen your reactions to some horror films with ItsTotallyCody on his channel. Kudos to both of you with the ones that are on UA-cam so far sir.
I remember reading this back in 2nd grade
When I tell you my heart SANK when I saw this pop up because I just knew....ugh I love this film so much but I cry every time. Thank you for reacting, Nick,❤❤
I haven't watched this one is a while😭 this movie did just remind me of this cat movie I loved to watch as a kid called Tomasina *idk if I spelled the name right) I haven't watched it since my childhood so I don't remember everything that happens but I do know its also very sad.
I think you're referring to *The Three Lives of Thomasina* (1963), a Disney film featuring Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, who played Jane and Michael in *Mary Poppins* (1964).
As a child I once saw "The Yearling", the end shocked me then just as with this film!
The Yearling??!! Oh GOSH 😭😭😭 I don't even remember if I saw the movie BUT I did read the BOOK, and I was "Not Ok" for like a month...
*The Yearling* (1946) is a beautiful classic film.
Oh man, grab the tissues, this one's a doozy!
"I'm really hoping it's more of a happier family film"
Ah, famous last words before disaster
Loved your reaction ! You’re such a kind, sensitive person. I hope you watch more classic movies like this one. Pollyanna (1960) would be a great one to watch next.
The Boys are Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran, two of the biggest child stars for Disney in the 50s and 60s.
Now here's an old classic I haven't seen in so long
Hello, Nick. It’s so good to see you again. I wanted to tell you that I highly recommend you to discover the movie Prisoners from Denis Villeneuve starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it.
Interesting note: "Prisoners" came the closet to almost getting tears out of "Professor No Name" and he's the ONLY reactor I follow (out of 12+ reactors) who has NOT visibly cried to anything (yet).
I remembered when I was a kid and I watched older yeller and it made me cry when old yeller had to die 😢😭😔
Oh I remember Old Yeller! That was an oldie but fantastic movie! I remember owning it on VCR and watching it as a kid.
God, this movie was played on repeat when I was a kid. This one and Bambi just killed us with the tears, but we loved it.
God, I haven't seen this since I was a kid a long time ago. I cried again.
There’s a warm comfort in watching these movies (traumatic dog films) because of the love and strong bond always shown between dog and “owner” (i.e., caregiver, furparent, whatever name you prefer). The emotions are real and the dog actors are always great! In the same vein, I recommend The Yearling, Benji, A Dog’s Purpose and its sequel. And Incredible Journey if you haven’t seen it already. And the ultimate, Lassie Come Home.
Even at 55 years old, this darn movie makes me cry like a newborn. Not even Titanic makes me cry like this!!!!!
Individual movies combined with individual people's reactions can be SO random; for example, when I watch Titanic it hurts like hell but never triggers tears. But that being said: I generally have had a strange history (and/or lack thereof) of crying to movies- when I first saw this (with my family) when I was younger, I didn't cry (but possibly because I wasn't alone lol... I [still] find it impossible to cry around other people). I recently re-watched the entire thing (after "learning to cry" after watching "Inside Out" lol)... and did cry a little, especially when Yeller first started snarling (because, we know at that point..). Then while watching this reaction, I cried quite a bit more. I used to not cry at all to especially RE-watches of movies.
So to clear up a few parts of the movie with the animals.
Taking the calf is the best way to make sure a cow follows you. They kept the calf with the mom just not when they were trying to get her to milk since she was a stray.
Pigs are pure muscle. He was trying to get a few piglets likely the same reason as the cow. To grow the farm. Fishing for pigs isnt the most practical way though but the pig would likely have been fine for such a short distance (also if a pig is young but too big to carey you grab its back feet and wheelbarrow it. If its a full size hog youre out of luck unless you have a way to herd it but pigs arent much drawn to that idea)
I haven't watched this movie in ages so i might be forgetting other things though.
Also Jumper is a mule not a horse but a cross between a donkey and a horse. They're great strong and sturdy animals good for a lot of different work. But they're also stubborn and if they dont believe they can do something they wont do it so it can take a bit of training but it solves the horse problem (the idea horses are fragile) because a horse will still try something that could severely injure them if their rider wants but a mule wont
This is probably my favorite out of the older live action Disney movies. It’s amazing all around.
I remember reading the book in middle school, saw it on the shelf and remember the movie and wondered about the differences. It was a very good book, would recommend reading it at least once
Hello Nick, great reaction!! I grew up watching this film, and in heigh school finnaly read the book. This is the only film to book plot that follows to a T what accually happens that has ever been made by disney. As a country boy and avid hunter, I relate to Travis on a personal level somewhat. If you ever get a chance to read the book by Fred Gipson, I recomend you read it.
At around 6 minutes in, I'm glad you were impressed by the phenomenon portrayed by the line of "Go and get us a deer". Knowing how to get your own food is SO important... and while I can't say I've hunted mammals, I personally DO keep in practice with fishing. Not the leisurely, usually-ineffective type people usually think of, either; I fish to at least show myself I can feed myself if I need to (even if I do "catch and release"). One time, even at an unfamiliar pond during a stay over a friend's house, they let me borrow their rod and rubber worm bait, and for three days solid, I made a point to catch (and release; I already know from past experience how to process and eat them if need be) at least THREE largemouth bass per day... and each one always took less than half an hour (sometimes as little as five minutes) to catch. They weren't "overly easy" either; I just know how to "read" water and make bait move in a realistic way. And when it comes to bluegills, with my hand-made little "fly-like" bait made of black thread and dog hair, I can actually catch (depending on the exact pond) about 80 of them per 75 minutes (that's not an exaggeration... I actually kept track once! I only stopped at 80 because I got tired and it seemed like a nice, round number to brag about lol).
Such a sweet, classic film. The book is great, too. Definitely a favorite, right alongside Where the Red Fern Grows.
You were confused about the cow scene so I wanted to clear things up. The cow gave birth off in the woods which puts her and the baby at risk because there's predators out there. Travis needed to get the calf and take it back home so the mama would follow, but because this calf was a newborn, she was being protective over it and attacking anything that came near. It took Yeller knocking her down a couple times and tiring her out to make her stop charging. Overall she was just being a good mama.
As for why they had her tied up? Cows only produce milk after they've had a calf. Of course the people want that milk themselves so they have to separate the mama and calf in order to do so. Mama is tied up so she doesn't go feed the calf, and sometimes they sell the calf and sometimes they keep it for one reason or another. It's an extremely questionable thing and you were right to say it felt abusive. It's a thing that's still happening in the modern day society since we use milk still. The mamas are stuck getting pregnant and giving birth and then having their calves taken away over and over just so they don't stop producing milk.
Lord have mercy, whoever thought it was a good idea to make you watch this movie did you dirty, I swear!! The second I saw the title on your Patreon page, I already knew it was gonna be rough for you 😔
I do have a cute little story related to this movie: one of my middle school English teachers loves Old Yeller and had us read the book before watching the movie. When it finally came time for us to watch it, she gave us a lighthearted warning ahead of time that she always cries when Yeller is put down. Sure enough, when the time came, you could hear her sniffling from her desk chair. I ended up getting up from mine and comforting her a bit, which she says she still fondly remembers to this day 💖
Oh gosh that story is ADORABLE!!! I love tearjerkers, but I still haven't given into tears while watching with anyone. Well... except for my mom's three dogs lol. One time, when I was visiting her, but she was out of the house all day working, I watched one really good tearjerker, and during one tearful moment, took a [more comfortable] position on the floor, and her three dogs came over and were constantly nudging me and licking my hands! What made it more sweet was the fact I knew that NORMALLY they would be playing with me in a more aggressive way (the type that would make you afraid your nose was going to get poked etc). But THIS time they were being VERY gentle! So they definitely knew what I was doing lol.
@@sathvamp1 Aww, that's so precious!! Thanks for sharing!!💖 I wish my two little dogs were affectionate and aware like that; my beagle can be pretty supportive when I'm sad, but she doesn't curl up with me and give me cuddles and kisses 😑😒🤷♀️🤦♀️
@@graciemack2002 Hehe no problem, and yeah I was surprised when they all reacted like that lol. But yeah I guess every dog is different. In fact, to shorten the story I neglected to mention there WAS a fourth dog... but she didn't do anything :P
@@sathvamp1 LOL, there's always that one in every family 😅
Man this was a sad film from my childhood I ever saw..😢😢
It’s been a while since you did a movie reaction by yourself since you’ve been doing reactions with Cody
Just to clear things up:they weren’t taking the baby calf away from the cow, she had the baby out in the woods and she wouldn’t because of her baby move and they needed her back so she and her calf wouldn’t get hurt by predators ( their livelihood are those cows which they sell which is where the dad was going to do) which is why he went to get her by getting the calf because she would follow, but she was overprotective which is why she rushed him. Believe when I say Yeller didn’t hurt her cows are pretty sturdy, he just put some respect for his name in her which is why she calmed down when he came to the pin.
Yeller was the egg thief he was doing it before he came to Travis and during too, which is why Travis had to break him of the habit. I know that it feels harsh to our standards, but back then (1800s and earlier) dogs were a protector/worker first and pet second. They could not have a dog that stole food out of their mouths or the community’s mouth; one bad winter could be the linch pin of living or dying out there.
Oof yeah, this one's pretty brutal in it's ending! As you seemed to enjoy it in general though I would like to recommend Pollyanna to you. It came out around the same time and it has a very entertaining cast and I think you would very much like the cheerful and optimistic outlook of the title character.
I'm terribly sorry that you've been having a hard time. I hope that you will spare yourself the guilt of being human, and trust your audience to want the best for you. Please take good care of yourself.
Never seen this movie before, but even I knew how it ended. It's just that famous.
Nick, cows are very very strong, and upon having a calf, she would have been extremely wild back in the day. They didn’t steal the calf from her, they just needed to ensure that she could still be milked for their own purposes. It might seem cruel, but this is a much harsher era.
If you're watching '60s live action Disney Movies, one of my favs you might wanna react to (if you haven't already.)
"Pollyanna," with Haley Mills.
I love Pollyanna! I hope he reacts to that one as well.
Watched that movie lots of times at my late Grandma's house she loved Haley Mills and introduced me to the classic Parent Trap with Haley in it. She was so adorable as Pollyanna and the Twins
This is so sad. I remember being upset as a kid after seeing this in the theatre 😢
It's a great movie, but SO SAD! I haven't seen it since I was 8 because it was just too heartbreaking to revisit.
For me, "The Land Before Time" had been too heartbreaking to revisit since age 12... and I recently watched that one again at age 39. As a kid I had never actually shed tears to that movie (for various reasons I actually think I'd been "afraid of crying"). But when I re-watched it age age 39.... jeez, that was probably THE hardest I'd ever cried in my life, period.
I wonder if this ending was an influence on Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Especially with the happy music at the end. The Mickey Mouse Club theme music? 🤔 Is this a Disney film?
Read the novel too, it’s pretty good. Mostly the same as the movie, with the same very sad ending.
You have such an innocent heart. OY was a groundbreaking movie at the time. Boys cried at the movie theater. Disney was not used to that. They were used to girls crying.
"Watching Old Yeller"
me: Ohhhh noooo, Nick...
Nick, you need to react to The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, it was the last in a series of B-pictures that Disney had to do during World War Two (nicknamed package features which include several shorts/or half hour ones combined to make a production feature length). But Ichabod and Mr. Toad is usually regarded by Disney fanatics as the best of these based upon its sophistication.
This movie had me bawling the entire time😭
There is a sequel to this if you can find it. "Savage Sam" it takes place shortly after this one with the same cast.
I haven't watched this since I was a little girl. It broke me and haunted me for ages. I will have to think about whether I want to watch... but here is a comment for the algorithm...
Great Scott, this man has a letterbox
