The Original Film
An often forgotten Disney film, So Dear to My Heart, is the second Disney film to combine live action with animation. With the first being Song of the South. It concerns the story of a little boy and his pet sheep; who he trains to win a prize at the county fair in order to prove both his and the lamb’s worth.
Music wise, the only real note of the film, is that famed folk singer Burl Ives (the snowman from Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer) plays a character in the film and sings most of the songs. Including “Lavender Blue” which was nominated for an academy award.
