A young boy who mistakenly believes that his family no longer wants him decides to run away with the circus-with the help of a precocious chimpanzee named Mr. Stubbs! 1960/color/95 min/NR/fullscreen. desertcart.com 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 Review: Don't overlook this movie - When Walt Disney Classic movies are talked about usually it's the animated classics like, Peter Pan, Snow White, etc..., and for good cause, BUT the live action classics deserve a place in the discussion. The Classic Live Action movies like, The Parent Trap, Swiss Family Robinson, and The Absent Minded Professor are outstanding examples of classic family cinema that will stand the test of time. In the group has to be the Classic, Toby Tyler. This movie is outstanding! Though it doesn't have the name recognition of say, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this movie is every bit as good. The story by itself is worthy of 4 stars. The movie is based on a book by James Otis Kaler, and was written in 1880. What makes that cool is that this is the setting of the movie and the book, meaning that it was written as a vintage period piece, but as a current work. Which I think makes the story more accurate to the time. The actors that make up the movie are an interesting class of character actors most notably, Bob Sweeney, Gene Sheldon, and Henry Calvin. But the STAR of the show is Kevin Corcoran as Toby Tyler. Kevin was the made young boy actor for Disney after Bobby Driscoll aged out. He can be seen in several of the Disney Live Action Classics(Shaggy Dog, Swiss Family Robinson, etc...). This is a great Film for families, those that love the period of film (late 50s-early 60s), Disney Lovers(the magic is there), and those that enjoy a great story. Review: Perfect Family Movie - "Toby Tyler" is an excellent family movie and a rare one as well since it is suitable for every member of the family. I have watched "Toby Tyler" multiple times and find it as enjoyable now as when I first saw it as a child. Toby Tyler (Kevin Corcoran, who was a Disney regular as a child and appeared in "Polyanna," "A Tiger Walks," and "Old Yeller," among others) is orphaned and living with his aunt and uncle. However, life is hard for Toby and he feels unloved. After his uncle makes him feel like a burden, Toby runs away to join a circus passing through town. Toby works as a concessionaire for Mr. Tupper (Bob Sweeney, who also appeared in Disney's "Moon Pilot" and "Son of Flubber), who manages to make it appear as though he is helping Toby when he cons Toby regularly. For example, Mr. Tupper convinces Toby that he must share his tips with Mr. Tupper. Toby also finds a protector in Ben Cotter (Henry Calvin, "Babes in Toyland" and Sergeant Garcia in Disney's 1950's television series "Zorro"), who turns out to be a good friend to Toby, along with clown Sam Treat (Gene Sheldon, who also appeared in "Babes in Toyland" and "Zorro) and chimpanzee Mr. Stubbs. Life is initially difficult for naïve Toby. He has a hard time focusing on his job and keeping food from Mr. Stubbs. Even though chaos seems to follow Toby, an opportunity arises for Toby to take center stage at the circus. Somehow things just never seem to go well for Toby, and he decides to leave the circus, but tragedy strikes. The end of this movie will bring smiles and make you want to watch this movie again in the near future. Kevin Corcoran seemed to play the same character again and again. However, Corcoran excelled in "Pollyanna" and "Toby Tyler." Toby is an innocent in a wild world and we get an opportunity to see the world as Toby sees it. Even though Toby has some bad experiences, Toby also gets to do some very exciting things and for just a moment we can think back to an era when circuses visited smaller towns and it was common for boys to at least think about running away to join the hard life of the circus. The marvelous thing about this movie is that it has action, excitement and humor, and yet is sufficiently tame for even the youngest members of the family. The portions of the circus that we see add to the excitement of the story. I also enjoyed how this movie ends. Though we know that life is complicated and messy, for a brief moment life is joyful and unrestrained and we can all too briefly recapture all the possibilities that exist when you are a child. Enjoy! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005JNF1 | | Actors | Bob Sweeney, Gene Sheldon, Henry Calvin, Kevin Corcoran, Richard Eastham | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,909 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,541 in Kids & Family DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,075) | | Director | Charles Barton | | Item model number | 786936279023 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) | | MPAA rating | G (General Audience) | | Media Format | Closed-captioned, Color, DVD, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Bill Walsh, John Wells, Katie Roumel, Pamela Koffler, Tom Hulce | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | August 2, 2005 | | Run time | 1 hour and 36 minutes | | Studio | Walt Disney Video | ## Product Details - **Format:** Closed-captioned, Color, DVD, NTSC - **Genre:** Drama, Kids & Family - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 36 minutes ## Images ![Toby Tyler - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615oFzFnGFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't overlook this movie *by J***S on August 13, 2014* When Walt Disney Classic movies are talked about usually it's the animated classics like, Peter Pan, Snow White, etc..., and for good cause, BUT the live action classics deserve a place in the discussion.

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wholesome Family Entertainment!! *by P***O on August 13, 2025* I watched this movie as a child and was thrilled to find it available on Prime. I purchased this so my granddaughters could watch it with me and they enjoyed it very much. This Disney movie was made during a more simpler time, when children were allowed to be children, and children's movies offered big adventures intertwined with meaningful life lessons and morals. Little Toby Tyler, thinking his Aunt and Uncle no longer want him, runs off and joins the circus, embarking on the journey of his life with his new best friend, a chimpanzee named Mr. Stubbs. A "must-watch" for children and adults alike. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3949822-toby-tyler](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3949822-toby-tyler) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
