| Davy Crockett (1954) | comment |
A five-part serial on the Disneyland television program, from 1954 to 1955, featuring Fess Parker in the lead role and Buddy Ebsen as his sidekick George Russel. The original serial was only in three parts, the success convinced them to make the remaining two parts. The serial was rereleased as two Compilation Movies, Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier and Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. The two movies have been released on DVD, and the serial was released unedited as part of the Walt Disney Treasures line.The Disney version proved insanely popular in the early 1950s USA, with Davy Crockett merchandise greatly in demand among kids, and is arguably the first modern children's media cultural phenomenon of its type. In terms of crazes it and other westerns would only succumb to science fiction media derived from The Space Race, a fact that became a major plot point in Toy Story 2's backstory. | |

Badbutt | |

Bad Butt: Mike Fink is both the most respected and most feared riverman in the territory. The first time his "I Am Great!" Song plays, people react with terror to him coming into their town for some business and carousing. Women are riding out of town and storekeepers are boarding up their windows to match with the lyrics in his song. However, the worst he does onscreen is make boasts, drink, lightly kick the Butt-Monkey of his crew now and then, and get into bar fights that can be destructive but don't live up to the level of terror he inspires. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Not quite heroism, but the Red Sticks are portrayed in a much better light than history shows. They were actually a bunch of racists who attacked other Creeks that they deemed insufficiently pure, and massacred civilians gladly. Andrew Jackson is also dubiously absolved of his part in the Indian Bill and maintains Davy's personal respect, which is in stark contrast to actual history and how the real historical Davy viewed the real historical Jackson. Averted with Davy Crockett. He really was a good guy who argued vehemently against the Indian Removal Act. | |

| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_4141c9e5 | comment |
Short-Lived, Big Impact: The series only consisted of five one-hour long episodes, but managed to spark a national (and international thanks to countries like England and Japan) craze that lasted from 1954 to early 1956. Allegedly, Walt Disney himself once said "had I known that (the Davy Crockett episodes) would be so popular, I wouldn't have killed him in the third episode." | |

Bring Help Back: Before Davy and his friends arrived at the Alamo, people have been sent to other towns to get reinforcements. None of them have ever made it past the Mexican army or returned alive. Eventually, Georgie becomes the next person to volunteer for the mission, and while he survives both ways, he doesn't succeed. | |

Shades of Conflict: Davy, along with his companions and friends throughout the years as well as all the fighters at the Alamo are of the white morality. Congress, of course, is a grey area, as are the American Indian tribes, including Red Stick. The rest, not so much. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: Everyone at the Alamo. Russel gets shot several times while trying to light a cannon to fire at the invading soldiers. Jim Bowie is lying in bed, sick. When enemy soldiers bust down his door, he fires two pistols at them, grabs a third and stabs him with a knife before dying. Davy is the very last one to die, swinging Old Betsy at the enemy, and with a Mexican soldier just finishing climbing up the ladder behind him, implying that this is the soldier that kills him. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Davy's is killing a bear with a knife. He's actually introduced trying to grin down a bear, as per the legend. When Major Norton angers the bear, Davy has no choice but to kill it with a knife. Since the entire scene is concealed by bushes, there's no way to know whether he actually tried to grin him down or whether he and Russel are just messing with Norton... but that's their story and they're sticking to it. | |

Chronic Hero Syndrome | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_ab68c5cc | comment |
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Crockett has this in spades. After the Creek War is over, he and Russel move to a new territory and just want to settle down. However, when he finds that a local posse of Politically Incorrect Villains has been running Indians off their land, he makes it his business to stand up to them and get them locked up. Then, he's convinced to run for Congress to prevent a lawyer sympathetic to said posse from becoming the next representative. Then, after leaving Congress and having nothing left to do, he finds the nearest worthy cause (the Texas Revolution), joins it, and ultimately dies for it. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Major Norton is this during the Creek War. Then there's the occasion when he ignores Davy's warnings and follows a trail...a trail that, naturally, the Creeks use. His unit gets attacked and has to be bailed out, of course. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Depending on your view of the U.S. government, Crockett's incendiary speech opposing the Indian Removal Act is either this or a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. He occasionally gets these from Russel, most especially at the Alamo when Russel discovers that Crockett knew about the ammunition shortage all along and declined to tell him. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: In River Pirates, George gets drunk with Mike Fink, gets his head dunked in a horse trough, and swears never to drink again. According to Disney Family Album #19, Buddy Ebsen was concerned about backlash for depicting a drunk character on a Disney show. Walt Disney answered that it was okay for a character to get drunk so long as he shows remorse for it. | |

The Bard: Georgie is often seen playing a lute and singing songs about Davy. He also published an exaggerated novel about Davy's exploits, leading to his reputation as "King of the Wild Frontier." | |

Hate Sink | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Major Norton, especially during Davy's Congress storyline. Though Andrew Jackson and various wealthy land speculators are ultimately responsible for the Indian Bill, Norton is the most prominent advocate of the bill in the storyline and most directly involved in manipulating Davy. Even during his epic speech denouncing the bill, Davy expresses respect for Jackson right after punching Norton in the face. | |

Mildly Military | |
| Davy Crockett (1954) / int_e7c671f3 | comment |
Mildly Military: Crockett, Russel, and all the Tennessean militia in the Creek Indian War, have a very loose relationship with the chain of command. Somewhat justified in that they're volunteers, not regular military. | |
