Kevin Corcoran, a member of Walt Disney's repertory company who got to shine in "Old Yeller" and "Swiss Family Robinson" and later got involved with production work, has died at age 66. Anybody out there have a favorite film by him?

When I was a child, I was in love with "Circus Boy"!
Kevin was four years older than me, so he was my first role model.

do you mean TOBY TYLER? Circus Boy starred a young Mickey Dolenz on tv. Kevin aka Moochie was a very endearing young actor, often paired w. Tommy Kirk.

Sorry to hear this.

I guess you might say that Kevin & I (along with Tommy Kirk) grew up together?

Kevin was a year younger than me, and I saw ALL of his films as they came out.

I saw “Swiss Family Robinson” about a ZILLION times, and it’s still a huge favourite.

It’s also my most longed for, unavailable soundtrack release (Pretty Please! )

RIP Kevin.

Grew up on his films. Well the re-releases anyway. He passed away comparably young. Bit of a surprise. RIP.

I'm sorry to read that he's died -- and these days at a relatively young age -- but I have to say that when I watched him as a child, back when he was a child, I found him obnoxious -- and still do. I like the movie SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, but not the way Disney presented this kid.

"do you mean TOBY TYLER?"

Correctimundo, philiperic!
I got the two confused!

Also in POLYANNA and the very successful THE SHAGGY DOG, among others. In fifties television he was practically a member of the family as a Mousketeer and a fixture in the various series associated with the Mickey Mouse Club (such as "Spin and Marty"). His sister Noreen Corcoran had a longer-lasting acting career in movies and series TV. I remember her as the very young Elizabeth in YOUNG BESS. Evidently she had an uncredited bit in THE ROBE.
