Watched Fess as Davy Crockett and on TV as Daniel Boone. I had a Davy Crocket hat with the tail and I wore it until it dissolved. By then you couldn't find any to buy. I visited his winery in California in the summer of 2011. I was hoping to perhaps see him. Didn't know until I got there that Fess had passed in 2010. But it felt good being near one of my life long Idols.
I remember my brother and I could stay up long enough to watch Davy Crockett as long as we had taken our bathes, brushed our teeth, and had our pajamas on. It was magical.
I was a little girl when the Davy Crochet craze happened. During a promotional tour that came through Irving, between Ft. Worth and Dallas, they stopped at the Irving Movie Theater during the run of the movie. My Mom took me to the movies that day so I got to meet and shake hands with Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen. One of the most exciting days of my young life...getting to meet up with two of my movie and story heroes...Davy Crockett and his sidekick, Georgie Russell, two men who looked to be as tall as redwood trees! It was amazing and I never forgot how handsome and kind they were to a bunch of little Texas fans. They were, of course, all dressed up in their frontier outfits..SO impressive. I wish everyone had had a camera in their pocket back then like they do now...oh, well...sometimes memories are just as good as photos...but you can’t show them to your friends...darn!
Our Uncle Fess was such a big part of our young lives, Walt Disney made a great choice when he cast Fess. What a fascinating account of the Crockett role and Fess Parker's part in the TV legend.
I have always and still do watch and enjoy Fess Parker's videos. Buddy Ebbson was one I enjoyed as well. I still watch Daniel Boone on UA-cam, unfortunately I don't see buddy Ebson that much, still love these guy's. I know they have passed but still fun to see them on the screen
Remember the Alamo with Davy being the last one defending, and swinging away with his long gun while the scene faded out. It was shocking. What was not seen but understood : Davy going down.
I am right now watching Daniel Boone. And it brings back great memories. In my early 20,s I wish I could of met Fess and Bubby E. In stead of spending money on dumb things.
"In the land of the free" there's nothing like reconnecting with our commandment and cleverness keeping frontier fighter, and remorseful best friend. And finding out fascinating behind the scenes stories. Stay safe everyone!
Loved Davy Crockett as a kid in the Fifties. Then 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.
7:31 I'm amazed that both Fess and Buddy did their own stunts correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that it's very common nowadays for actors to do their own stunts

That’s what childhood should be....
Magical indeed, magical INDEED! I even miss 1985, and would do anything to go back! For now, you can still catch Buddy in Barnaby Jones, here on YT.
Great memories of my childhood I am 65 , and I remember watching Disney movies ! Thank you.

By the way...I couldn’t decide that day which one of them I was going to marry when I grew up!
Incredible and nothing beats an unforgettable telling of meet a phenomenon. And they were both courageous and faithful suitors from the wild frontier!
*Crockett not "crochet"
Loved Fess Parker as Crockett, good looking man. Good actor.
In 1998 my then 3 year old son dressed as Davy Crockett & watched the videos nearly every day! Mr. Parker & Mr. Ebsen are true Disney legends.
Yes they are!

All of the Disney Family Album videos are fascinating to me. Thanks for Watching
Fess and Buddy had great chemistry together I can't imagine any other actors playing Davy Crockett and Georgie Russell may they both Rest in Peace ❤
@@disneyfan94themuppetsforev95 couldn’t have said it better
Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppplllllllll hu ft@@disneyfan94themuppetsforev95
The two of them have age very Beautifully
I remember how I used to like watching these ! The pre PC days of Disney were the best.
Yeah, they couldn’t do an Alamo or Cowboys and Indian movie today without over doing Dances of Wolves
That might be the understatement of both this century and the last!
I would have love to meet him. But I was Born in 1983 but when I get to see the TV show I fall in love with him and his good friend
2:56 Can we talk about the fact that an 87 year old can moon walk better than any of us?
I have always and still do watch and enjoy Fess Parker's videos.
Buddy Ebbson was one I enjoyed as well.
I still watch Daniel Boone on UA-cam, unfortunately I don't see buddy Ebson that much, still love these guy's.
I know they have passed but still fun to see them on the screen
I am not sure why this showed up in my videos but I am glad it did brings back some very happy times thank you
Thanks for watching... check out the other Disney Family Albums. It’s a fascinating time capsule into Disney history.

Disney had that true pioneer spirit
I am right now watching Daniel Boone. And it brings back great memories. In my early 20,s I wish I could of met Fess and Bubby E. In stead of spending money on dumb things.
love these so called " old timers " and the stories
It’s a History lesson for sure. Check out the other Disney Family Albums... they are all great
More stories in the other Disney Family Albums.
We really feel like part of the wonderful and always growing Disney family.
December 1985-the peak of my then, young, life.
Loved this pair!
Two very likable men!
RIP, men.
Note: Fess Parker portrayed both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.
Which made it very confusing. Lol To this day I don't know the difference between Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett.
@@zingyflaps7757 My nephew trick-or-treated as Davy Crocket, and everyone told him, "Oh, you're Daniel Boone".
In many many ways Walt Disney was an innovator
grew up watching these guys
Good old Barnaby jones 😮😢 my sister fav show brings so many 70s great memories 😮😢
"In the land of the free" there's nothing like reconnecting with our commandment and cleverness keeping frontier fighter, and remorseful best friend. And finding out fascinating behind the scenes stories. Stay safe everyone!
Our heroes ❤.
I love those movies
THANK YOU!!! 😊🦋
loved the riverboat episode
Loved Davy Crockett as a kid in the Fifties.
Then 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.
Loved Davy and then the Daniel Boone series and it sucked when they took it off what a very good man ❤
7:31 I'm amazed that both Fess and Buddy did their own stunts correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that it's very common nowadays for actors to do their own stunts
That doesn’t happen today.
Greatest show ever
I wonder why they did not mention that Fess Parker went on to star in the Daniel Boone TV series?
This was great to watch and hear their accounts!
I was born in 1954 and could never figured out who I was named after, my name is George Russell.
Nice to meet you Georgie ;-)
@@SamsDisneyDiary TYVM, Nice to meet you and watch again what I watched as a kid.
@@russell3380 great time to be a kid!
@@ronperson5137 Indeed it was!
Fantastic
I heard he got replaced by Jack Haley as the Tim Man in The Wizard of Oz, because of his make up illness.
Yeah. Buddy had auditioned for the Tin Man, but he had a near-fatal allergic reaction to the makeup.

I wonder why the “Great Locomotive Chase” isn’t on Disney plus?
It's a shame Disney doesn't have the class it did back in the day...
Ese hombre trabajo en Daniel boom también
Disney in no way resembles the company it used to be
Never trust your life to a 25 dollar horse !
I don't do Disney any more. They screwed over Walt big time. As for Disney products, Not allowed in the house.
Yep!
