Carl V. Burger (June 18, 1888 – December 30, 1967) was an American "artist and writer of children’s books about animals and natural history."
 He is known for his children's and youth literature illustrations of "The Incredible Journey" by Sheila Burnford and the Newbery Medal honor novels "Old Yeller" by Fred Gipson and "Little Rascal" by Sterling North.
Old Yeller is a 1957 American drama film produced by Walt Disney.
 It stars Tommy Kirk, Dorothy McGuire and Beverly Washburn.
 It is about a boy and a stray dog in post-Civil War Texas.
 The film is based upon the 1956 Newbery Honor-winning book of the same name by Fred Gipson.
 Gipson also cowrote the screenplay with William Tunberg.
 The success of the "Old Yeller" film led to a sequel, "Savage Sam", which was also based on a book by Gipson.
Little Arliss (1978) is the third book centered on the Coates family of frontier Texas by Fred Gipson.
 It follows "Old Yeller" and "Savage Sam", and focuses on Little Arliss, the youngest member of the family.
 Like the first two novels, it is told in the first person, this time by Arliss, instead of Travis.
The book ends when Yeller becomes exposed to rabies while defending the family from a rabies-infested wolf and Travis is forced to shoot the dog.
 Old Yeller's puppy helps him get over Old Yeller's death.
 Yeller's puppy becomes the title character of the 1962 movie sequel, "Savage Sam".
 There is also a third book, "Little Arliss", set after the first two and starring Travis's younger brother.
Frederick Benjamin "Fred" Gipson (February 7, 1908 – August 14, 1973) was an American author.
 He is best known for writing the 1956 novel "Old Yeller", which became a popular 1957 Walt Disney film.
 Gipson was born on a farm near Mason in the Texas Hill Country, the son of Beck Gipson and Emma Deishler.
 After working at a variety of farming and ranching jobs, he enrolled in 1933 at the University of Texas at Austin.
 There he wrote for the "Daily Texan" and "The Ranger", but he left school before graduating to become a newspaper journalist.
This is a list of animated package films.
 There are two types of package films — a film with little or no new animation; usually there is only new bridge animation to link older theatrical/TV shorts together, for example "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters".
 The other type has all-new animation and might not always feature bridge animation. "
Melody Time" doesn't feature bridge animation, but "The Three Caballeros" does.
 Home video releases of older theatrical and TV shorts or TV series are usually released as compilations and might therefore be thought of as packaged, but are usually not considered as such.
Melody Time (working title All in Fun) is a 1948 American live-action animated film and the 10th theatrically released animated feature produced by Walt Disney.
 It was released to theatres by RKO Radio Pictures on May 27, 1948.
 Made up of several sequences set to popular music and folk music, the film is, like "Make Mine Music" before it, the popular music version of "Fantasia" (an ambitious film that proved to be a commercial disappointment upon its original theatrical release).
 "Melody Time", while not meeting the artistic accomplishments of "Fantasia", was mildly successful.
 It is the fifth Disney package film following "Saludos Amigos", "The Three Caballeros", "Make Mine Music", and "Fun and Fancy Free".
Spike was a lop-eared yellow Mastador (Mastiff/ Labrador Retriever mix) and a dog actor best known for his performance as Old Yeller in the 1957 Disney film of the same name co-starring Tommy Kirk, Dorothy McGuire, Fess Parker, and Kevin Corcoran.
 Spike was rescued as a pup from a shelter in Van Nuys, California and became the pet and pupil of animal trainer Frank Weatherwax.
Jenny Wiley Theatre is a non-profit organization that puts on productions of classic Broadway musicals, comedies, historical dramas and holiday productions at both the Jenny Wiley Amphitheatre, located within the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park, and surrounding venues.
 The theater's first musical was "South Pacific", performed in the summer of 1965.
 Some theater alumni have later achieved success in television, film and national theater.
 These include: Michael Cerveris, who won two Tony awards, one for his performance in "Tommy" in 1994, and one for his performance in "Assassins" on Broadway; Christine Johnson, Nettie Fowler in the original Broadway cast of "Carousel"; Sharon Lawrence from ABC's "NYPD Blue" and "Desperate Housewives"; James Barbour, who played the Beast in Disney's Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast" and was Tony-nominated for his role as Mr. Rochester in the musical, "Jane Eyre"; Jim Varney, "Ernest Goes to Camp"; Tommy Kirk, "Old Yeller"; Ron Palillo, "Welcome Back, Kotter"; Eileen Bittman Barnett, "Days of Our Lives"; Cynthia Bostick, "As the World Turns"; Lawrence Leritz, "Broadway and Beyond"; Jeff Silbar, composer of "The Wind Beneath My Wings"; Randy Jones of the Village People singing group; and Paige Davis, host of TLC's "Trading Spaces".
Ruddell Bird "Rudd" Weatherwax (September 23, 1907 – February 25, 1985) was an American actor and animal trainer and breeder.
 He and his brother Frank are best remembered for training dogs for motion pictures and television.
 Their collie, Pal, became the original Lassie, handled by Rudd for the 1943 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film "Lassie Come Home".
 He also handled the dogs for the "Lassie" television series which ran from 1954 to 1974, and trained Spike for the 1957 feature film "Old Yeller".
 After his death, his son, Robert, took over the training of the animals
