Its world premiere was in Chicago, Illinois, on November 29, 1948. Like 1946's Song of the South, the film combines animation and live action. It is based on the 1943 Sterling North book Midnight and Jeremiah. The book was revised by North to parallel the film's storyline amendments and then re-issued under the same title as the film. The film was a personal favorite of Walt Disney, since it re-created on film one of the most memorable times of his life, growing up on a small farm in the American Midwest at the turn of the twentieth century. Walt said: "So Dear was especially close to me. Why, that's the life my brother and I grew up with as kids out in Missouri". Walt had intended that this would be the first all live-action Disney feature film, but his distributor, RKO, convinced him that when audiences saw the word "Disney", they expected animation. Thus they split the difference.[5] So Dear to My Heart was the final film appearance of Harry Carey. Plot This article needs an improved plot summary. Please help improve the plot summary. (May 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this message)Set in Indiana in 1903, the film tells the tale of Jeremiah Kincaid (Bobby Driscoll) and his determination to raise a black-wool lamb that was once rejected by its mother. Jeremiah names the lamb Danny for the famed race horse Dan Patch (who is also portrayed in the film). Jeremiah's dream of showing Danny at the Pike County Fair must overcome the obstinate objections of his loving yet tough grandmother Granny (Beulah Bondi). Jeremiah's confidant Uncle Hiram (Burl Ives) is the boy's steady ally. Inspired by the animated figures and stories, the boy perseveres.[6] CastBobby Driscoll as Jeremiah "Jerry" KincaidLuana Patten as TildyBurl Ives as Uncle Hiram DouglasBeulah Bondi as Granny KincaidHarry Carey as Head Judge at County FairRaymond Bond as Pete Grundy, StorekeeperWalter Soderling as Grampa MeekerMatt Willis as Mr. Burns, Horse TrainerSpelman B.

Bobby Driscoll received a special Juvenile Award from the Academy, honoring him as "the outstanding juvenile actor of 1949".[7] In addition to So Dear to My Heart, he had garnered critical acclaim for his dramatic performance in the RKO melodrama The Window. The film is recognized by American Film Institute in this list: 2004: AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs:"Lavender Blue" – Nominated[8]ProductionThe train depot in the film was later relocated to Ward Kimball's Grizzly Flats Railroad in his backyard. After the railroad closed, John Lasseter relocated it to the Justi Creek Railway. Critical responseFilm critic Bosley Crowther wrote on The New York Times that "a little aphoristic fantasy (…) has the imagination and special charm which the film, in general, lacks. For, with all its innocence and simplicity, which are commendable on the modern screen, So Dear to My Heart is not distinguished by its story or cinematic style. It is just a pleasant fiction for the kiddies who fancy lively pets and for the oldsters who like to vision childhood in an illusory, kerosene-lamp glow."[9] ReleaseThe film returned rentals to RKO by 1951 of $2,775,000 with $2,200,000 being generated in the U.S. and Canada.[3] The film was re-released in 1964 and earned an estimated $1.5 million in rentals in the U.S. and Canada.[4] So Dear to My Heart was released on home video in 1986. It was then re-released in 1992 and released on video in 1994 as part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. The film was originally planned for a US DVD release as part of the Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection, but was cancelled, with no particular reason given. Six years after seeing a region 2 DVD release, it was released in the US on DVD in July 2008 as a Disney Movie Club Exclusive. In Italy, So Dear to My Heart was released on home video in 1997.[10] It was re-released on DVD format in 2003.[11] TriviaIn the DVD's bonus material, it is stated that the formerly Frontierland Station is an exact replica of the railroad station built for So Dear To My Heart and remains in Disneyland today, although it now belongs to New Orleans Square. The original prop ended up in the hands of Disney Animator Ward Kimball, which he used for his Grizzly Flats Railroad. The station would later be acquired by former Pixar film director John Lasseter, moving them to his private Justi Creek Railway.
