VHS Movie Reviews of Davy Crockett & The River Pirates [VHS]
Movie Review: Davy Crockett is not forgotten
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: A piece of American history
Summary: 5 Stars
The product quality is excellent, as it uses to be with all the products from the Walt Disney factory. Here you are all the episodes of the series, presented as they were originally broadcast, complete with introductions by Walt Disney himself. Introductions to every episode are made by film historian Leonard Maltin. Included are interviews with series stars Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen as well as a gallery of original artwork, advertisements and threatical posters. The soundtrack includes subtitles for the hearing disabled, but I missed the Spanish synchronization or, at least, Spanish subtitles. Movie Review: Davy Crockett
Summary: 5 Stars
True Disney Family TV Excellence shows in this series. It is interesting from begining to end.Movie Review: You're Missing Something Big If You Don't Have This Set
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Confused
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Summary of Davy Crockett & The River Pirates [VHS]
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!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.
