Much like Davy Crockett, King Of The Wild Frontier, the sequel, Davy Crockett And The River Pirates was another huge childhood favorite of mine. And also, this movie is still as great as it was all those years back when I first watched it, it really is that great! This movie is not a masterpiece, it is not one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen, but I still just love it so incredibly much! This movie is great, and not to mention, that it is also really funny! There are a lot of hysterical scenes in this movie, such as the scene where Davy Crockett's partner is swinging around on the chandelier, and not to mention the scene where Mike Fink eats his hat. In fact, this movie is better than the first movie, it is funnier, more exciting, and overall, significantly more enjoyable. I am not saying that the first movie was bad, I loved that one incredibly, but this one just happens to be better than the previous movie. It only goes to show that a movie that you keep fond memories of will never grow bad, and that has happened with this movie, it is still fun to watch!
Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen reprise their roles as Davy Crockett and his partner George respectively, and once again, they do a great job at playing their characters. As they were in the previous movie, their acting is great, and at times, it is hilarious. I mean that they can be really humorous at times, and I really love a movie like that. This movie's humor is as good as it gets, the scene where Mike Fink begins to eat his hat is absolutely hilarious, I was laughing my head off at that part, it is just so hysterical! The humor of this movie really makes this movie as good as it is. Every time I watched this movie, I would just enjoy it more and more. I may sound crazy, but I can't help it, I really love this movie, it is great!
So all in all, like the first movie, this one is still as good as when I saw it when I was a little kid! And if you loved the previous movie, then the chances are that you are going to love this movie as well! Well I hope that you do love it, it is great, it is great, great, great, great, great! This movie was once a favorite of mine, and it will always be a favorite of mine! One last thing before I finish up this review, if you do decide to watch this, then get ready to see a lot of laugh, because this movie has got quite a lot of laughs in it, it is very funny! So all in all, this movie is a lot of fun, don't miss out on it!
