Davy Crockett 1954 - 1955 (Miniseries) Full Custom Ballad and Theme

Loads more TV Themes at: teeveesgreatest.webs.com/
We've strung together the ballads from ALL the Davy Crockett miniseries shown on the Disney's Disneyland series.
Davy Crockett is a five-part serial which aired on ABC from 1954-1955 in one-hour episodes, on the Disneyland series.
The series stars Fess Parker as real-life frontiersman Davy Crockett and Buddy Ebsen as his friend, George Russel. The first three episodes of the serial were edited together as the theatrical film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (1955) and rebroadcast in color in the 1960s, when the Disney program went to NBC. This series and film are known for the catchy theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett".
It was filmed in color at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the Mountain Farm Museum adjacent to the visitor center at Oconaluftee, near Qualla Reservation's entrance and Janss Conejo Ranch, California. The final two episodes were edited together as the theatrical film Davy Crockett and the River Pirates (1956).
It was filmed in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. Walt Disney Home Video released the two theatrical films on DVD as Davy Crocket - Two Movie Set, on September 7, 2004.

The Disney version of The Ballad Of Davy Crockett will always be the best version, because of the arrangement of the instrumentation and vocals, especially in the right key.

He probably wouldn't care. Nearing the end of his life, he handed the animation and films to his son-in-law Ron Miller so he could focus on his theme parks. Especially EPCOT. That was on his mind until the very minutes leading up to his death. People love to form opinions about the man while knowing next to nothing about him.

[@trentonkeith2012]

They definitely wouldn’t air this show anymore! Definitely loved it as a kid and it brings back good memories

They could air the episodes separately on Disney+ if they put the entire Disneyland TV series on it.

Davy Crockett is on Disney+ in the form of the two theatrical films that they released after the miniseries became a hit

[@AlMonzoEsq]

@@colinkilian7885 do you have a problem with social justice? Does it scare you? Would you prefer it if everything went back to like it was in Davy's time? I'm puzzled as to why you would be anti people who are pro social justice. Just asking.

[@wandahaiche8641]

Thank you so much! For some reason I often get this Ballad "stuck in my head" -- the tune is quite catchy, after all -- but can't recall most of the lyrics. Now I've got a bunch of them, and I know they won't go away!! But that's great. This Davy and this song are SO not-PC today (even I cringe when he attacks the bear or the Injuns), but when I hear or sing the Ballad I once again feel the swell of pride in being American that I felt as a little kid in the '50s when we said the Pledge in school or scurried together into an air-raid shelter as a practice drill. I had absolute faith in my parents and other grown-ups, the USA, and our national leaders back then. My, how times have changed (and BTW, you young 'uns might have been much happier and less stressed in those simpler days).

[@susansackrison3139]

The Disney channel in the 90’s was wonderful ... between 11pm and 4am or so they had Vault Disney and showed all the Classic Disney shows it was so great. Super wish they’d do that again.

Loved Davy Crockett as a kid in the Fifties. hen as an adult I learned why Davy Crockett fought and died at the Alamo. White Texans had to break away from Mexico if they wanted to be allowed to own black Texans. Mexico outlawed slavery well before Lincoln.

[@robertromero8692]

“as an adult I learned why Davy Crockett fought and died at the Alamo. White Texans had to break away from Mexico if they wanted to be allowed to own black Texans. Mexico outlawed slavery well before Lincoln.” What left wing bullshit. You probably eagerly swallow the claims of the 1619 project, defining the U.S. solely in terms of slavery. While it’s true that Mexico banned slavery in 1829, it allowed American immigrant slaveholders to continue using the labour of enslaved people, so your claim that slavery was the motivation for Texas independence is nonsense.

[@josefsilvia5360]

For some that say, "Disney will never air this again," you're right. It and the second TV series became movies and are on Disney+. They don't need to air them. Heck, the Disney Channel will probably end sooner than expected. Second, there was nothing "simple" about these times. You often had to drink dirty water without knowing it, hunt for food--and sometimes you didn't find the food. People died of cholera, starvation, malnutrition a lot back then. But yeah, keep believing it was "simple." I am sure people in Crockett's time thought living during the Renaissance was better. On top of that, child life expectancy was lower than today. Not everyone made it to adulthood. Our western movies and shows romantasize a time that was pretty harsh in reality. Some things this movie doesn't show: Davy was the only delegate from Tennessee to oppose the Indian Removal Act. As a result, he wasn't re-elected. He actually moved to Texas with 30 armed men, expecting to help fight for it's independence. He even mentioned Texan Independence in one of his last speeches in Tennessee. Davy wasn't a perfect man, but was pretty progressive for his time. I'm sure if he was alive today and saw how Native Americans were treated in cinema (this TV show was one of the first to hire real Native Americans instead of white dudes playing Native Americans), or witnessed their land getting taken by the government to produce oil--he'd have something to say about that. As for whether or not our world has "gone woke," here's all I'll say on this. I often wonder what people, like Davy Crockett, would think if they saw how all most Americans care about is a peice of entertainment. Like movies, TV shows, sports, etc. They were fighting for life and death. Meanwhile, over 180 years later, we argue about whether or not a strong female lead or people of color should be in a movie about laser swords, robots, flying saucers, and magic space wizards (yes they should, is the answer. And also, we're talking about space wizards. Get a grip, people).
