When I was just a little person, I saw this movie in a theater and fell in love with it. In 1992 I purchased 2 of these at Wal-Mart, so one day I could share with my "hoped for" grandchildren. In 1996 when I became a gramma, I gave one copy to my daughter for her little ones.... present and future. Then I loaned the other video to a friend for her little ones to watch and never received it back. Now that my son also has children, I wanted the video for his children, now 4+ and 2+, and I was delighted to find it on eBay. They will now have the fun of a clean, fun and happy experience, which is how movies for children USED to be made!!! I highly recommend this movie to any grandparents or parents for their children. It is showing a simpler, yet more classic and lovely way of life for children, what so many children today are missing, who think that everything in life is instant.... this film has character and love and family fun, as well as events needing understanding and work to overcome.Read full review
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid, 60 years ago. The things I laughed at when I was a tot didn't make me laugh this time around, but I was laughing at things more age appropriate. The music was well crafted and followed the script, like greek theater which forshadowed what was next without giving it away. The dialogue was not pushed, or stretched, making it easy to follow along...it just flowed at it's own pace. The baddy wasn't totally bad, the goody wasn't perfect, and the lamb was a riot. I'd give it five stars on a five star review.
While looking around on eBay, a friend of mine came across this movie and read the description. Thinking that my 5-year-old might enjoy it, she forwarded the info to me. I had never even heard of So Dear To My Heart, but with the cast and description, I proceeded to bid on it right away. We are SO pleased with this movie. My son goes around pretending that his baby brother is Danny, the little black ram lamb. ;) If you're interested in a movie which depicts the values of respect and hard work, as well as faith in God, this is the show for you!! This truly is enjoyment for the whole family.
Absolutely precious movie for anyone. Especially lovely for children. My husband and I enjoyed it immensely once again and we're in our 60s!

I remembered enjoying this movie when I was a child and I bought the video tape so I could share it with my grandchildren. They enjoyed it, too.
