Crockett tells the story in the film as a way of debunking part of the myth that had grown up about his exploits.
Just the other day, I was talking to a friend who portrayed a certain Mexican officer in the movie, "The Alamo".
Honest!! I really do know this guy. NICE man, really.
Anyway, he said that Disney also cut the parts from the film about the Cherokee Indians serving with the Texicans and quite a lot about the camplife of the Mexicans.
I have not seen the film, but I plan too. I have been a little under the weather of late and that is why I have not seen it as yet. I cannot stand Touchstone but I do want to see my friend in the film.
