Davy Crockett is one of Walt Disney's most endeared and remembered live action characters from the television and silver screen as personified by Fess Parker. This colorful and entertaining film was re-edited from three segments of Disney's TV show for theatrical distribution. Parker, with his coonskin cap and homespun drawl and witticism created a nationwide phenomenon in 1955. Who can forget "The Ballad Of Davy Crockett" composed by George Bruns and Tom Blackburn. Buddy Ebsen played his sidekick George Russel, whose adventures take them from Tennessee to Washington, D.C. to the Alamo. The film's third act focusing on the defense of the Alamo, though well remembered, is somewhat labored until we see the final image of Davy Crockett passing into legend and glory. This straightforward and beautifully photographed film expounds the virtues of honesty, integrity and bravery. Highly recommended family viewing personally produced by Walt Disney.

I just recently saw the condensed version of Davy Crockett. It brought back a lot of memories of a simpler time. It is a very clean, and fairly accurate version of what happened 200 years ago. It is enough to introduce the little people to some of our history in a way that keeps their attention.
It is tragic that they chopped 3 one hour programs down into ninety minutes total. They should have keept it all in there, or released each program individually. Is there any chance the lost parts can be restored?

a very very nice movie for all ages. the movie explores Crockett's fights with bullies, to indians, and his stay in Congress, but the best part of the movie, for Alamo fans like myself, is the miniture battle scene. awsome! this is a very nice movie that is to be watched over and over.

This is a fun movie. If you want a clean movie that promotes all the clean values of the much maligned 50's then this movie does it. Lots of adventure and action and a few laughs for all ages, a timeless story of right and good, and perhaps a bit more. If you're looking for CITIZEN KANE you're in the wrong place. But there is something for people of every stripe. The old heroic ideal. The Alamo and creek fight scenes (not the specticle of John Wayne's Alamo but in some FEW spots more accurate). The comic relief provided by Hans Conried (in a very good supporting role.) And in a kids movie of the 50's the American Indian protrayed not as a bumpkin or a savage, but as people, and the "indian bill" sequence showing (rightly) government attempts to cheat the indian and also showing (misleadingly) Jackson himself involved. It also portrays that now frowned upon idea that you must be willing to FIGHT for what it right. This movie is more than meets the eye. And its worth meeting.
