Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier (1955)
Davy Crockett & the River Pirates (1956)
King of the Wild Frontier indeed. This week we watched the Disney double feature of Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier and The River Pirates. These two movies came out in the 1950s as half hour segments for The Wonderful World of Disney that used to air long before Disney had their own channels. Later, these episodes were released as these two movies.
For this Family Movie Night, we broke out our Coon Skin Caps and enjoyed a rustic meal as we marveled in the adventures of the Frontiersman, congressman, adventurer, and American Hero.
The kids also each got a Coon Skin Cap to embrace the spirit of the movies.
For dinner we enjoyed Pioneer Stew (although it states Bear Meat, it was just regular beef. Just a fun edit for the kids.) Additionally we had Corn Dodgers, like a free form corn bread that, according to my research, would have been common around the time of Davy Crockett. It was a simple meal with a nice clean plating.
For the drink, I couldn't think of anything significant to choose, so I just called it Davy's Drink so that I could use anything that struck me without having to reprint a menu. In the end, I just went with good wholesome milk.
For dessert, the kids just had an assortment in their concession boxes with nothing that was specific to this movie. In the end, the kids had a great time, and Ethan wore his new cap (that actually belonged to his father so many years ago) everywhere he went for many days after the movie. All and all, a big success.
