DISNEY - DAVY CROCKETT SET

I really enjoyed the Davy Crockett tales when I was
young. Watching these two movies(created from the
shows on Walt Disney's Disneyland series) they are not
as enthralling as in years past, but still enjoyable! Worth
watching if you've never seen them before! B-

A review from Amazon:

Davy Crockett: King Of The Wild Fontier(1955):

We've used this film in school as a connection to
our 4th grade Texas history curriculum. Unfortunately,
we no longer have VCR's for the VHS tape, so I was glad
that I was able to stream this from the computer to the
screen (we have the Disney license to show their films).
Granted, it's not 100% historically accurate, however,
it gives us a conversation piece to compare and contrast
history and how film changes our perceptions, as well
as to learn a bit about what happened at the Alamo,
and Davy Crockett's famous role. My favorite part
of this movie is Davy's speech to Congress, and of
course, the "Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild
Frontier" theme song. And yes, our 4th graders were
singing the song at recess! - L. Frase

Davy Crockett wasn't only a celebrated hero, warrior,
and backwoods statesman, he was the subject of a
popular Disney television series that made star Fess
Parker a household name. (Parker had a hard time
breaking the perceived image of himself as a frontiersman,
and eventually went on to star in another TV series,
Daniel Boone.) Starring Parker and a pre-Beverly
Hillbillies Buddy Ebsen, this boy-oriented series was
well known for lots of action in its frontier setting.
Davy Crockett and the River Pirates consists of two
episodes of the television show--it's as bright and
vibrant as any current television show and the story,
about Davy and George(Ebsen) heading downriver
toward New Orleans, is still fresh. Given television
budgets of the day, the production values are notable.
The villains will be recognizable to anyone who
watched Walt Disney Presents because they were
standards. This 1956 offering was certainly designed
with boys in mind. Look for lots of river rafting, fight
scenes, and braving of rapids--and, of course, the
catchy "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," which topped
the nation's hit list for 13 weeks. (Ages 7 and
older) --N.F. Mendoza
