Still Davy after all these years!!!
Takes me back a few years, but don't expect a 2010 version!! My grandsons can sing the "Ballad" all the way through!!
A Classic Disney Film
We've used this film in school as a connection to our 4th grade Texas history curriculum. Unfortunately, we no longer have VCR's for the VHS tape, so I was glad that I was able to stream this from the computer to the screen (we have the Disney license to show their films). Granted, it's not 100% historically accurate, however, it gives us a conversation piece to compare and contrast history and how film changes our perceptions, as well as to learn a bit about what happened at the Alamo, and Davy Crockett's famous role. My favorite part of this movie is Davy's speech to Congress, and of course, the "Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" theme song. And yes, our 4th graders were singing the song at recess!
A classic for the grandchildren
For those of us who grew up on Disney in the 50's and 60's, this is a trip down memory lane, and to show it to the grandchildren is a lot of fun. It's corny today, and not all that accurate, historically, but can be used to teach children about American history.
