Summary: Film title reflects this viewer's feelings toward it.
Review: Reissued only once theatrically since its December 1948 release, and still unavailable domestically in the DVD format, this neglected film richly deserves to be counted among the Disney classics.
A personal favorite of Walt himself, it supplies a nostalgic look back at a byegone era and contains much of value to recommend it for viewing by families... together. I first saw it on a warm Friday evening at a tiny theater in the Minnespolis suburb where I'd recently moved with my parents. I'd been slow to make friends there, and two neighborhood boys whom I knew only slightly invited me to see it with them. By the end of the evening we'd become friends, and I at last felt accepted as a part of the community.
I can recall the effect that movie had on me in that it caused me to realize how time was passing in my life, and that someday I, too, might be paging through an old scrapbook in a dusty attic reliving some cherished childhood memory preserved there.
Bobby Driscoll, my favorite child actor by far, shines as young Jeremiah Kinkaid (he would go on to win a special Oscar for his performance in RKO's THE WINDOW the same year). In fact, the entire cast is superb. I'm hopeful that Disney will issue this wonderful title on DVD while I am still around to enjoy it. Please hurry!!

Summary: Nostalgic Disney film highlighted by Burl Ives' songs.
Review: "So Dear To My Heart" is a lesser-known Disney film released 3 years after "Song Of The South". It's one of Walt's loveliest films, with several scenes combining live-action with animation, just like the previous film. What I love and remember most about the film is Burl Ives and his singing voice. His songs here include the Oscar-nominated "Lavender Blue" and his duet with Beulah Bondi "Billy Boy". Bobby Driscoll (Jeremiah) is now close to being my favorite child actor of the past. This film, along with "Treasure Island", showed him real talent. Walt Disney discovered him and Luana Patten in the '40s, and they starred together in "Song Of The South" and this film. They were the first child actors put under contract at Walt Disney's studio. Interesting bit of trivia for film history buffs, huh? Anyway, I think "So Dear To My Heart" should be more widely seen by Disney film buffs.

Summary: One of Disney's Best
Review: I never even heard of this movie before, but I rented it last night after earlier watching a bootelg copy of Song of The South (another great movie). I don't see how I never heard of this movie cause it's so good. I usually don't buy movies but I have to this one as it worth it.

Summary: Someone Left The Cake out in the Rain
Review: My daughter and I saw this on cable a year ago and realized there is a segment that image for image would seem to be the inspiration for the trippy 60's song MacArthur Park, Even the cake out in the rain is there! This could be a secret bonus for aging boomers like me who enjoyed playing Pink Floyd while watching the Wizard of Oz! Enjoy!Chris Browne

Summary: fabulous movie
Review: My kids rented this every time we went to the store, so I finally bought it. It should be re-released. We had to buy a used copy, but it is in great shape. I don't recall seeing this movie as a child. I love it. My kids love it. Ages 3, 4, 5

Summary: OK
Review: The little lamb is adorable and cute, but that is about it. Burl Ives's character mainly just crawls around, singing songs, and the kid is OK. The lamb made me like the movie. It is so cute. But the story is a little lame, so that takes away some of the lamb's cuteness.

Summary: Full of the morality our Grandparents knew
Review: The most moral Disney film out. Speaks of the things that our Grandparents knew, faith in God respecting your elders, doing the best with what you the Good Lord gave you; placing the things of the spirit before the things of the fleash. A very heart warming innocent movie. They don't make them this way any more.

Summary: One of my favorite movies of all time.
Review: This is one of the best Disney movies ever made. It is a story of a boy and his black lamb. But it Teaches you a lot about life. Academy Award winning song Lavender Blue is sung by Burl Ives. Mostly live acting with tastefully done animation.
