Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Fess Parker captured the hearts of millions with his strong, confident portrayal of the legendary king of the wild frontier. There's never been a folk hero quite like Davy Crockett, and you'll see why when you watch him 'grin' down a bear, battle an Indian chief in a tomahawk duel, and fight for freedom at the Alamo. Disney's popular action-adventure inspired millions of children to sport coonskin caps and sing 'The Ballad Of Davy Crockett', which topped the nation's hit list for 13 weeks! As Walt Disney himself proclaimed, the story of Davy Crockett, with its entertaining blend of drama, humor, and adventure, will always be a colourful reflection of the frontier spirit.

After the surprise success of his 1954 Davy Crockett TV miniseries, Walt Disney assembled the three hour-long 'Crockett' episodes into this 93 minute theatrical feature. The film is divided into three long episodes, each separated by a title card. Part one shows Crockett the Indian fighter, part two finds Davy winning a seat in the Nashville legislature, where his heroism is rather cynically exploited by presidential candidate Andrew Jackson (Basil Ruysdael), and part three concludes at the Alamo, with a discreet cutaway just before Davy meets his doom at the hands of Mexican general Santa Anna.
