Recently rewatched Old Yeller, a movie I loved back in elementary school, but that annoying kid "Arliss" always got on my nerves.
Just finished watching SFR (also watched in elementary school), got equally annoyed by the little kid, sure enough, IT'S THE SAME DAMN KID!!
I haven't seen any of his other films, is he just as annoying in them too???
Coincidentally, the older brother in Old Yeller plays his older brother as well in SFR.... loolll.
He is in 'Pollyanna' and 'Spin and Marty".
"What do you want me to do, draw a picture? Spell it out!"
He played the titular character in 'Toby Tyler'. One of my favorites as a kid, and still quite enjoyable today. Also goes by the name 'Ten Weeks with the Circus'. He and his brother (and Tommy Kirk) also appeared in 'Babes in Toyland'. Ed Wynn's performance in that film is one of the funniest things I ever saw. Corcoron was in tons of great stuff as a kid. Classic old Disney family films. Sure he can be annoying sometimes, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that.
shareHe also played the title role in Disney's "Johnny Shiloh" television movie, one of my favorites as a kid. Watched it countless times on a grainy VHS we copied off the Disney Channel (back when the Disney Channel was great and actually showed Disney movies and series commercial free!). Still have it.
