Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
The bear fight was lazy because you can tell there wasn’t one. Has the old Disney soundtrack. This didn’t age yo good with the Native American stereotypes. This movie is dark for a Disney movie which in like. With the bears fighting it was so obvious they were using preexisting videos. Davy Crocketts sister in law dying was crazy. I was just waiting for this movie to end when Davy Crockett got to the Alamo.

Personally, I'm not really a fan. Some parts were touching, but I was not enjoying the way they depicted Native Americans. The plot was rather boring and repetitive.

i'll acknowledge that this movie has its flaws, but, come on... it is SO much fun. parker's davy crockett is charming and lovable, the story is well put together, and even after almost 70 years, most of the humor still holds up. if i was a kid in the 1950s, i just know i would've loved the miniseries.
