(From a student that knows how to type correctly and not like they had a stroke on their keyboard. A very small few had proper grammar and I applaud you for it). Differences from the novel and movie Old Yeller are first thing, instead of Spot being in the movie, it was Rose who took her place. Spot was completely removed from the movie while she was in the novel. In the novel Rose was an older cow that was starting to get run down and Katie (Mama) had found Spot with her cattle walking in the yard I believe. Another difference was the movie had never shown the bull fight that the novel talked about. The book said that Old Yeller had a stubby tail and bitten up ears but the movie showed he didn't. The bull that had gotten hydrophobia was never shown in the movie and therefore that means Travis only shot 2 animals in the movie though shot 3 in the novel. Travis fell out of a tree in the movie, but collapsed under the sand cave in the novel. In the book the pup Lisabeth brought to Travis was speckled but in the movie the dog looked exactly like Old Yeller. Lastly, right after the bull fight, Katie had Travis shoot Old Yeller in the novel, but in the movie she let him keep Old Yeller in the corncrib for a few weeks, found out Old Yeller had hydrophobia, then Travis shot him. I found the book better than the movie and was actually dissopointed at how poorly made the movie was.

The book is a little different because it does'nt tell Old Yeller was in the cage in the book . But in the movie Old Yeller the book and the movie is the same because it shows that little Arliss was in the drinking water with Old Yeller and Travis said get that Old Yeller out of our drinking water . I like the movie better than the book because there is more imformation. I like the movie better because you get to see the pup and the people.

The Old Yeller book had many similarities as the movie.All the charecters Had the same names in the movie as they did in the book.There were also many parts in both the book and the movie had, such as Travis shooting Old Yeller because he was bitten by a wolf with rabies, and Travis getting beat up by the hogs with Old Yeller. The movie left out some things that happend in the book such as there was a bull fight in the book but it was not included in the movie. There were also parts that changed like in the book Old Yellers pup stole corn bread in the movie hae had stolen deer meat. Also when little Arliss caught the catfish in the book he was bleeding because the catfish had stung him, in the movie he picked it up and nothing had happen to him he just piced it up like it was nothing.

The book Old Yeller was a lot like the movie but there were not all the parts that were in the book. In the book there was a bull fight in the movie that part was not included. All the charecters that were in the book were in the movie. In the movie Arliss did not get stung by the catfish.

The movie Old Yeller was different because the movie did not have a bull fight like the book. The bear fight was longer in the book than the movie. The movie Old Yeller was alike because Travis did get hurt by the hogs in the leg. Also Travis shot Old Yeller after Old Yeller fought the wolf.

This is how the book and the movie OLD YELLER is alike. Frist papa leves. When Little Arles finds the dog he runs up to him. Then he chuks roks at Traves. After that Little Arles is in the drinking water with OLD YELLER. How they are alike is Little arlis is not naked. mama says that travis started the rock fight.

I thought most of old yeller was the same like the bear attack. The house was also the same. Some of it was diffrent like part of old yellers ear wasn't gone like in the book old yeller.Also in the movie they found old yeller chasing the donkey unlike the book old yeller.

The movie Old Yeller was different from the book. Travis was a little different then I was expecting. The movie went alot faster too me.Little Arliss was still a brat. I like the movie better because i think the book was a little weird. But, i did not like when Old Yeller got shot.

The movie Old Yeller and the book Old Yeller have some differences and similarities.The movie Old Yeller and the book Old Yeller have some similarities like Traves and Little Arlease's dad left and Old Yeller fought a bear. The book and movie have some differences too.Like in the book Little Arlease was crying to his mother because he caught a catfish and the catfish stung him.Another reason is that the movie didn't show Old Yeller getting kiled with the wolf.

the book and the movie were alike and different. in the book, when they realized OY had hydrophobia, they killed him on the spot, but in the movie they let it live to see if it got the disease. Bud Searcy shared the same characteristics in both plots and it was important that the author do this because it shoos he is greedy, wanting, and talkative.

A Lot of people talk about how there is no bull fight in the movie but I haven't seen anyone say how that affected toward the end. There was never a Mad bull. In the book the bull from the fight returns but has the disesas and goes to where Arliss and Elisabeth were playing near the river but this event never happened in the movie. Also in the movie Arliss holds onto the bear in the middle of their yard but in the movie he's holding the bear to stop him from falling in the river. Also i swear that I haven't heard anyone say LITTLE ARLISS in the movie just Arliss.
