DVD Review: Nostalgia, yes...but it STILL satisfies as entertainment...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was an original "Crocketteer" when I first saw this on TV at the age of ten, and it led to a lifelong interest in Davy and The Alamo and his era, the early 19th century, when the wild West was mostly in Tennessee and Arkansas, and near the end of Davy's life, deep in the heart of Texas. Since those days, while I have not visited any Crockett sites in Tennessee, I have been to the Alamo three or four times, seen every movie about it, read most every book about it, wore out recordings of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" by Bill Hayes, Fess Parker, Eddie Arnold and Tennesse Ernie Ford, and generally just never outgrew my need for Crockett lore. By most accounts, Davy was an honorable man for his times, not much against slavery, but resistant to financial and political corruption and personally quite brave. He neglected his family at times, but usually because he was off actually serving his country or trying to make a better living. So when Walt Disney decided to bring the life and legend of the man to the television audience, he did Davy proud by the budgetary standards of the '50's. In Fess Parker, a young actor from the San Angelo, Texas area, he found the PERFECT Crockett for a small-screen portrayal aimed at kids. In Buddy Ebsen, a song and dance man from the big screen and Broadway, Walt saw a guy with the range to play George Russell, a fictional semi-literate man of the soil, when most fans pictured him in evening clothes. Now that I am in my '60's, the Davy Crockett portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton in the recent big-screen flop "The Alamo" wins my heart as the most authentic Davy, but the soft spot I have for Parker's performance is still there. The second movie, made after the first, is light-hearted fun, but the first half of this DVD is where its heart and soul can be found. Today's ten-year-old boys, used to Brittany Spears flesh and hip-hop's anger, might not respond to the legend of the true American hero David Crockett the way I did back in 1955. And that's a shame. But it is worth a try, if you are the parent or grandparent of such a boy. Even if your favorite juvenile relative thinks the movies are "lame" YOU will have a good time watching them.

Summary: 5 Stars
Sure it was hokey fun back in the day. Now i'm sharing it with my children and theirs and loving it. So many memories come flooding back---and it's still well done. Ya know you want to---go ahead--do it----feel good again! GGsatman12 recommends it!DVD Review: family fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this a gift for my son who loves davy crockett. The whole family has enjoyed it. They learned about other american folk heros like Mike Fink and started reading books about these people. Okay it isn't politically correct now but that's just the way it was back then. Relax enjoy and laugh.DVD Review: Davy Crockett 2 Movie set
