Straight from the vault of Disney's bygone classics comes this 1960 family film about a boy who joins the circus, based on the book of the same name by James Otis Kaler. Kevin Corcoran (Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson) is unsurpassed as the earnest and endearing Toby Tyler, an orphan who lives with his poverty-stricken aunt and uncle until the day he is told he's a "millstone around their necks." When the circus comes to town, Toby runs away to join the vagabond life of the big top. Although his concessionaire boss is a con man, Toby makes fast friends with Ben Cotter (Henry Calvin) and Sam Treat (Gene Sheldon) who protect him and, in the end, receive much more from Toby than they give. The movie's best moments center on Toby's camaraderie with a mischievous chimp he names Mr. Stubbs. The final circus scenes of Toby's equine acrobatics with the pretty Mademoiselle Jeanette (Barbara Beaird), and comedic stunts with Mr. Stubbs are well worth the price of admission. The three-ring comedy is sweet and simple, sprinkled with a few wholesome life lessons. Marvelously directed in Disney's vintage style by Charles Barton (The Shaggy Dog), the overall effect will tug on a family's heartstrings and funny bone. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson
Description
TOBY TYLER takes you back in time to when the day the circus came to town was the biggest day of the year! Now on Disney DVD, Kevin Corcoran stars as the lovable, determined runaway who believes his uncle and aunt no longer want him, and life under the Big Top will put things right. Along the way he meets Ben, Mr. Tupper, and the mischievous Mr. Stubbs -- a playful chimpanzee! Together they fall into hilarious jams and scams more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Get your peanuts, popcorn, and candied apples, and jump into a classic three-ring circus that will have the whole family in stitches!

Peter Beauchemin (Berwick Maine USA)
I have loved this movie since I was just a little boy. Now because of dvd I show it to my grand kids. Some stories are ageless and this is one. Kevin Corcoran is great as Toby.

I got this movie to entertain my grandchildren when they stay overnight. They LOVE it! It is an old Disney movie which I had never seen, but my grandson is wild about monkeys and chimps and I thought it would keep him happy. Not only did he love it, but his younger sister does too. While they are staying with me we have to watch it over and over again! Disney stories are always great for kids, but this one reminds me of MY childhood when times were simpler and much more innocent. Lots of circus scenes, elephants, horses,clowns, high wire acts. Perfect for young and old!

I SAW TOBY TYLER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL (1983) AND I'VE JUST LOVE THE MOVIE. FEW WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED THE MOVIE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND WATCHED IT WITH HER. SHE ABSOULUTLY ADORES IT AND HAVE SEEN IT SINCE FOR MORE THAN 8 TIMES. I AM SURE MY GRANDSONS WILL LOVE IT.
