Young Danny came by his name because of a passing visit to their town of the Great Dan Patch legendary trotting horse champion from back in those days. He is literally the black sheep of the family with a fine coat of black wool. He also has no pedigree to speak of and that's important in these county fair events. Still Driscoll is full of hope.
He also has to convince is grandmother/guardian Beulah Bondi, a kindly and pious woman who's not really into wasting money on frivolities. For that the kids rely on Burl Ives, village blacksmith with a continual song for all occasions.
This film marked the farewell performance of Harry Carey who has a small role as the judge at the County Fair. So Dear To My Heart features a nice musical score by Elliot Daniel and Hy Morey which includes the Oscar nominated Lavendar Blue which Burl Ives delivers in a straightforward style. The song lost however to Baby It's Cold Outside from Neptune's Daughter.
The ensemble cast is great, especially the kids. Hard to believe what eventually happened with Bobby Driscoll, he looks so innocent here. Still that's the power of film, to freeze time and images that were more favorable.
After 62 years a great family film.
As we see so often today, those viewers under 40 years of age will probably not understand and might even be critical of the beliefs and priorities shown in the film. Those of us old enough to remember seeing it in the theater will love the feeling of being taken back to a time when simple things were the important things in life. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family.
Like Song of the South, it is not currently out on DVD in the United States, but fortunately I bought a laser-disc copy of the film several years ago.
The story is about a boy (Bobby Discoll) and his pet lamb. It's also a parable about hard work, determination and good old fashioned values. And, it culminates with the lamb going to the county fair.
When the film was tested, audiences didn't like that there was no animation as they expected animation in a Disney film. I really do NOT think it was needed and the animated sequences are completely unnecessary for the film, though they have a certain charm. I think they weren't needed because the film had so much going for it already--great acting by Driscoll (a very talented child actor), Beulah Bondi and Burl Ives, some AMAZING cinematography (with amazing shots of forests and meadows) and a nice but very simple script. It's a great film for kids--especially because of its healthy messages and an unusually strong religious message for a Disney film. Well worth seeing for all ages.

Granny Kincaid: [arguing about God being her solution to everything] Oh, I know. It's a vexin' thing. It's a cruel thing, havin' your lamb run away. Maybe Danny found a holler log and crawled into it... where the dogs couldn't find him. Maybe he's snuggled up under the roots of a big old tree. However it is, it's beyond our power to help. All you can do is just hope for the best but be prepared for whatever happens.
Jeremiah 'Jerry' Kincaid: He ain't dead. He ain't dead!
Granny Kincaid: I didn't say he was. I'm only tryin' to tell you to remember that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Jeremiah 'Jerry' Kincaid: Well, he can't have him. He can't take Danny.
Granny Kincaid: You're not tellin' the Lord what he can do or can't do. The Lord'll do the tellin'.
[realizes what she just said]
Granny Kincaid: Oh, this is all my fault. I've seen it comin'. I've seen it comin' all along. You've turned your heart away from the things I've taught you... ever since you were a little baby. No,Jeremiah, you can't do this. It's one thing, blamin' poor little Tildy for letting your lamb get away... when all she was tryin' to do was to help you feed him. And it's one thing, blamin' me. But it's another thing when you start blamin' your maker. Started out by lovin' the lamb, and that's why I let you keep him. True love ain't a harmful thing. True love's a good thing. It's good for the spirit. But you don't love that lamb any more. What you love is blue ribbons and cash awards. That's all you're thinkin' about-- things that are vain, things of this world-- until you forgot all about the things of the spirit. And when you can't have your own way, you start burdenin' the Lord. You ain't thinkin' of that lamb. You're just thinkin' about yourself. You know what's right, Jeremiah but you'll have to find it in your own heart to do what's right.
