Yep. Me too. However, I am saddened by how the legacy of the old LR was belittled, ridiculed and demeaned in the recent movie.

While very funny, he (LR) was nothing but a comic foil to Depp’s fake Indian performance - along with the horse.

In effect, anything remaining of the legacy was trampled by the magical prescience and abilities of Trigger, or the mystical shaman Tonto. Still, a good movie to watch.

Considering the actors, who I really can’t stand, the movie was itself entertaining. And we watched it on netflix or something so they didn’t get the full fare from us. ;>}

I agree with eveything that you've said ...

Except it was "Silver". "Trigger" was Roy Rogers' horse, which was exceptional its own right ...

But the good news is that the movie was belittled, ridiculed and demeaned.
