Someone here said that his father-in-law wrote the screenplay for the movie. He must be immensely proud of him. My mother took me to the movies in 1962 when it was released and as an 8 year old I was gripped. Disney was in it's 'animals' stage and Lobo was one of the best. I hadn't seen the film again until earlier this year but it was as wonderful as I remember it. Over the years that song "Lobo, Lobo, Lobo, Lobo your name will survive..." was all I could remember but I remembered it a lot over the years so it was great to hear the full song once again.
I see there's a number of people here that didn't get it, probably expected a kind of Jaws with wolves. No. This is a scary yet heartwarming film and it's beautifully filmed, the narration is excellent. I loved the way Disney filmed the wolves and through editing created a story - they did this with their other animal movies also.
Once upon a time innocence meant something to a child, movies like Lobo helped create that innocence.
