Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Available uncut for the first time, the five episodes of Davy Crockett that aired on Walt Disney's "Disneyland" show (1954-55) launched one of the great pop culture crazes of the '50s. An estimated $300 million worth of Crockett merchandise was sold during the first eight months of the craze, including 10 million "coonskin" caps. Disney didn't spend a lot on the original episodes, but as host Leonard Maltin observes, the colorful location and matte shots distinguished Davy Crockett from the cheesy-looking westerns of the 1950s. The three original episodes were later recut into the theatrical feature Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (1955); the more comic adventures from the second season that introduced the flamboyant riverman Mike Fink (Jeffrey York) became Davy Crockett and the River Pirates (1956). Tall and ruggedly handsome, if somewhat limited as an actor, Fess Parker was effective as the laconic frontiersman. The more experienced Buddy Ebsen (playing sidekick Georgie Russel) carried many of their scenes. Fifty years later, Davy Crockett remains an engaging example of national myth making. Younger viewers may be surprised to find this straightforward hero retains much of his appeal in an uncertain time. --Charles Solomon

I had been looking for Davy Crockett video for a long time. My 8 year old nephew was interested in Davy Crockett because his dad told him how he used to watch Davy on TV when he was young. My nephew was thrilled when I sent the dvd to him and he loves watching it.

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.
