Nato nelle montagne del Tennessee

Il più verde Stato della terra degli uomini liberi

Cresciuto nei boschi tanto da conoscere ogni albero

Uccise un orso all’età di tre anni

Davy . . . Davy Crockett

Re della Selvaggia Frontiera!









Descrivere il significato di Davy Crockett è un compito impegnativo. Si tratta sia di un evento storico e di un fenomeno di cultura popolare che ha influenzato i bambini di un’intera generazione.



Molti americani, pur non avendo vissuto direttamente il periodo in cui la serie fu presentata per la prima volta, sono ad essa molto affezionati. La serie non riporta un’accurata rappresentazione storica ma questo non riveste enorme importanza. Davy e George Russel dominano la scena con grande personalità e calore genuino. La loro amicizia è forte e culmina nel terzo episodio, con grandi emozioni.



Al di là del divertimento è importante il salto “indietro nel tempo” nella storia degli Stati Uniti. Guardando gli episodi della serie si viene come trasportati negli anni ’50 e si ha l’impressione di vedere (e gli Americani, di ricordare…..) la vita dei bambini di quegli anni.

Le emozioni derivano dal guardare un eroe che combatte per ciò che crede giusto.



La serie completa viene presentata nell’ambito dei Walt Disney Treasures, in forma originale, come parte dello show TV “Disneyland”, complete dell’introduzione di Walt Disney.













Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee

Greenest state in the land of the free

Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree

Killed him a bear when he was only three

Davy . . . Davy Crockett

King of the Wild Frontier!







Describing the significance of Davy Crockett is a daunting task. It’s both a historical event and a pop-culture phenomenon that defined the childhood of an entire generation of people. Though not having been there myself, I imagine it must’ve been very much comparable to the crazes that I went through as a young kid, whether it was Jurassic Park, Star Wars, or The Lion King. But from seeing archival footage and hearing eyewitnesses talk, it even appears to have been much bigger than those.



Despite the “King of the Wild Frontier” not holding any memories of my young life, as it does for others, I still have great affection for the series. I find the show incredibly fun to watch, which I chock up to the characters.

They may not be entirely accurate historical representations of their real-life counterparts, but I couldn't care less. Davy makes a great hero figure, and his sidekick George Russel is a very likeable guy. They have great personalities with genuine warmth, and I find it easy to care for them. Their friendship is touching, especially when it culminates to an instance in the third episode which becomes fairy emotional.



Adding to the enjoyment is the feeling of stepping back in time in our nation’s history. Whenever I watch Davy Crockett, I feel like I’ve time-traveled back to the 1950’s and have gotten a glimpse of what it was like for kids back then. The only would-be negative effects coming from the 50’s aura is a layer of cheesiness. These certainly aren’t the most realistic pieces of television by any stretch of the imagination, and much of the violence comes off as being “fake” by today’s standards. Yet, even for a 16-year-old who has grown up with the special effects of this and the last decade, it doesn’t tarnish my admiration of the series one bit.







There’s a great emotion I get when I watch Davy Crockett. It partially has to do with the subjects I’ve already addressed, but I think much of it has to do with the sense of watching a hero fight for what he believes is right, and my having a hell of a good time doing so. Even up to this day, the series is oozing with entertainment and all-American nostalgia.



Davy made his debut on DVD as part of the Walt Disney Treasures – a series of limited editions with vintage material, devised and hosted by film historian Leonard Maltin. The set is called “Davy Crockett: The Complete Televised Series,” and presents each episode in their original form, as part of the Disneyland anthology TV show, complete with introductions by Walt Disney.



Released among the first wave of Walt Disney Treasures on December 4, 2001, only 150,000 copies of “Davy Crockett: The Complete Televised Series” were produced. Each of these DVDs comes in a collectable, individually numbered tin with a cardboard band that wraps around it, with reproductions of Roy Disney’s and Leonard Maltin’s signatures. Once the band is removed and tin is unsealed, we find a black alpha case (double the thickness of the standard amaray cases) inside that holds both discs. Within, there is an 8-page insert with a tribute to Walt Disney, a note from Leonard Maltin, and a layout of the discs’ supplements. Also included, a postcard-sized lithograph replicates the original poster artwork for the first theatrical movie release of the TV episodes. (See the end of this review for a note on the theatrical releases.)



During late 2003, “Davy Crockett” was also found in the Ultimate Disney Treasure Chest - a box set of all 7 Treasures thus far released, available exclusively at Costco. Like all the Treasure sets in this box, “Davy Crockett” was without the collectible tin and the lithograph. Aside from this, the insert and the disc content remain the same.

DISCO 1









Episodi TV

Ogni episodio è introdotto da Leonard Maltin, che spiega che originariamente, la Storia di Davy Crockett era stata pensata come una serie di tre puntate, senza aver pianificato di continuarla. Le prime tre sono quelle riportate nel cofanetto.



“Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter” (53:40) – Questa prima puntata ci consente di conoscere i personaggi e el situazioni di vita in cui si svolge l’azione. Davy ed il suo amico George sono stati assoldati dalle forze Statunitensi per cercare e combattere una banda di Idiani pericolosi, che si sono ribellati all’Uomo Bianco (concessione al “Politically Incorrect”…..). La conclusione è inaspettata…..



“Davy Crockett Goes to Congress” (53:39) – Nel secondo episodio vengono meglio tratteggiati i caratteri dei personaggi. Gli eventi ci presentano la storia di Davy che riesce ad arrivare al Congresso (Parlamento Americano) e che prende iniziative per dare ai Nativi (gli Indiani…) uguaglianza di diritti riguardo ai territori.



“Davy Crockett at the Alamo” (53:20) – La scena si ricostituisce ad Alamo dove Davy e George aiutano i Texani a resistere. Il nostro eroe continua a combattere una storica battaglia fino alla morte. La serie in realtà è poi stata continuata.









TV Episodes

Each of these is introduced by Leonard Maltin in a roughly minute-long segment, who explains that originally, Davy’s journeys were only going to be told in a 3-part series, with no plans for further installments. Those first three are presented here.



“Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter” (53:40) – The show that started it all gets us acquainted with the main characters, and their situations, before immersing us in the midst of adventure. Davy and his pal George are summoned by the U.S. military, led by Andrew Jackson, to help track down and fight a band of Injuns (if you’ll let me be politically incorrect for once) who are rebelling against the White Man.

This one offers some suspense, leading up to a one-on-one tomahawk fight climax, with a conclusion some may find unexpected.



“Davy Crockett Goes to Congress” (53:39) – For the most part, this second installment exchanges adventure for drama, spending some time fleshing out the main characters more. We follow the events leading to Davy’s bid for congressmen, and once he gets the position, the actions he takes to give the Native Americans fair rights concerning land.



“Davy Crockett at the Alamo” (53:20) – Feeling like a suitable conclusion to a trilogy, Episode 3 reunites us with Davy and George as they join with a riverboat gambler and an outcast Indian. Together, they head for the Alamo to help the Texans hold up, and find that they have bleak outlook. (If Pee-Wee Herman is reading, this section provides further proof that there is no basement at the Alamo.) Nonetheless, our heroes stick it out to fight a vigorous battle to the death. I think this provided a very poignant ending to the series, but as we know, it continued on.

DISCO 2









Episodi TV



Come sempre, ogni episodio è introdotto da Leonard Maltin. Le due puntate aggiuntive sono state presentate come “leggende” più che come aderenti alla realtà storica.



“Davy Crockett’s Keelboat Race” (53:39) – Davy e George incontrano un nuovo rivale: Mike Fink autoproclamatosi “Re del Fiume”, personaggio pomposo che li sfida con una scommessa a fare una regata sul fiume. La regata sul Mississippi è un continuo alternarsi di competizione aggre4ssiva senza esclusione di colpi.



“Davy Crockett and the River Pirates” (54:09) – Questo episodio riprendendo il precedente. Davy e George diventano amici con Mike Fink ed insieme si alleano per combattere un gruppo di banditi che finge di essere un gruppo di pellerossa per screditare gli Indiani. E’ una corsa contro il tempo per fermarli, onde vitare una vera guerra tra gli Indiani e l’Uomo Bianco.









TV Episodes



The menu matches that of the first disc. “Captions” again offers the English subtitles, “Adventures” lists the remaining TV shows, and “Supplemental Features” houses all the bonuses.



Episodes



Yet again, Maltin gives a one-minute intro to each episode. As he explained before, there originally weren’t any plans for Davy to go beyond 3 parts. Once the series became overwhelmingly popular, the character made a return in two more installments that are presented as legends, rather than representations of historical incidents. While the first three covered distinctly separate incidents per episode, these next two feel more cohesive. Though, they are more lighthearted than the first batch, which I thought made them less satisfying but still fun.



“Davy Crockett’s Keelboat Race” (53:39) – Davy and George return to meet a new rival: Mike Fink, the self-proclaimed “King of the River,” a boisterous and pompous character who challenges them to a race with money as the bet. As the opponents make their way down the Mississippi River, aggressive competition ensues, filled with sabotage and battles of whit.



“Davy Crockett and the River Pirates” (54:09) – Picking up almost right where the last left off, Davy and George make friends with Mike Fink, banding together to bring justice to a group of bandits who pretend to be red-skins. It’s a race against time to take care of them before a conflict arises between the real Indians and the White folk.

















Supplemental Features

Gli extra sono relativamente pochi, meno di quello cui siamo abituati. Mentre nel cofanetto si parla di un’intervista con Buddy Ebsen, questo bonus in realtà non è presente.



“The Davy Crockett Craze” (19:05). Leonard Maltin intervista l’autore Paul F. Anderson (il suo libro ha lo stesso titolo di questo bonus). Anderson aiuta a porre Davy Crockett nella giusta prospettiva storica, riuscendo a trascinare gli ascoltatori. In aiuto di Maltin ed Anderson viene il molto materiale d’archivio e fotografico.



“A Conversation with Fess Parker” (17:05). Intervista di Maltin alll’uomo che ha recitato nel ruolo di Davy Crockett.
