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
Description:
All aboard for a rip-roaring river adventure with Davy Crockett (Fess Parker), legendary "King Of The Wild Frontier," and his trusty companion George (Buddy Ebsen) as they head downriver to New Orleans! You'll encounter dangerous rapids, treacherous river pirates, and excitement at every turn. Combining the grand Disney tradition of adventure with the greatest folk hero of them all, DAVY CROCKETT AND THE RIVER PIRATES is one ride you'll want to take again and again!

True Disney Family TV Excellence shows in this series. It is interesting from begining to end.

As a fan of Davy Crockett, I along with others was familiar with the theatrical release and assumed that this one would be about the same. Not only was I wrong but I was pleasantly surprised how much more is on the uncut version than on the theatrical release. Although it's expensive and hard to get, I recommend that if you're interested in Crockett to pick up this set. It's well worth it and you're missing something big if you don't have this particular set.

Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the original movie start out earlier than with the Indian episode? I thought it actually showed him "grinnin'" down a "bar" before leaving his beloved Polly and family.
Can someone straighten me out? And for some reason, I want to hear "Green Grow the Lilacs" some where in the show.

I loved the Davy Crockett Televised Series as a kid but these left a bit to be desired. The picture sometimes goes to a sepia tone and other times it loses its color contrast. It also get super fast in some places. It looks like it was hodgepodge together from different lesser quality sources. Also on parts do not play well. The story is great and so is the packaging but the quality of the DVD leaves something to be desired. However if a full original copy has been lost to time this is better then ... Read More

Walt Disney made five television shows about Davy Crockett with Fess Parker in the title role and Buddy Ebsen as his sidekick George Russel. You can now own all five of these television shows in two versions. This version presents all five television shows as they were first presented on ABC in the mid-1950s. There is also a two-movie version that combines these five television shows into two movies. I personally prefer the Disney Treasures version. This version also includes additional material ...
