Legend of famous hero; some outdated cultural references.

Walt Disney's amiable biography of the renowned American frontiersman is intended chiefly for youngsters, of course, but many a grown-up is likely to get quite a kick out of it too.

One of the best and most classic Western stories ever. Despite having some unnecessary humor and a rather simple story, I really enjoyed the movie; It has good special effects, good actors and very interesting story. Highly recommend.

One of Disney's best live action offerings. The humor still hits, the action is still exciting, and the forward thinking view on Native Americans is a nice change of pace from the usual classic western. Parker and Ebsen are magical together. Beware: you'll be humming the Ballad of Davy Crockett all day.
