Dale R A mostly live action movie about a boy who raises a lamb who was rejected by its mother. I did enjoy the depiction of small town and farm life around the turn of the 20th century. Assuming that it was fairly accurate since that was the environment Walt Disney grew up in at about the same age as the boy in the movie. There are some animation sequences added to the live action setting, mostly trying to show the young boy's thought process about raising the lamb and getting him ready to show at the county fair. The movie does drag in parts and the animation really doesn't add anything to the narrative and I feel it was added more as an experiment to see if they could do it. Check it out if you're curious.

The cast are pleasant enough, if nothing standout. A couple of parts are a little slow, while it has the usual animal questionability to it that a lot of films tend to have from this era. All in all, an alright watch but one that's just short of being something I'd recommend. It's nothing bad, I will say that. /copied directly from my Letterboxd review\ Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review sarah w pretty nice movie about a black lamb, So Dear to My Heart is one of 1949's beloved treasures along with Mighty Joe Young Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review russell h It was corny. Sometimes the lamb is small and cute and other times it is fat and ugly. The kids are annoying.
