The animation of him blasting through a mountain with red hot hammers is one of the most savage things Disney has ever made.
Facts
agreed
Tell me about it
Agreed, plus the ''warriors" scene it timed it
yup
John grabbing two sledge hammers and smashing through the mountain in pitch black darkness with the only light he had coming from each strike and coming out with both hammers smoking has to be one of the manliest moments in history
Facts
It’s not history, it’s just a tale. Man can occasionally outdo a machine, but it comes at a cost. The moral is that man must pace himself
@@captainsinclair7954"its nkt history" it literally is, he's real and the events happened.
@@dallasdean4115unfortunately no, John Henry is just a story,In fact, if you search for his name on Google, it appears as "fictional character"
@@captainsinclair7954 You clearly don't recall your American history well. Not to worry my uneducated friend, all you gotta do is understand the working man's nature. (Unless you're rich, then go buy another Ferrari or something.) If you are rich, of course you discount the efforts of the poor. Who cares about race? I'M talkin' bout a man's unstoppable will he proved. And Caused a Steam engine to fail in result.
I love how you can see the pencil lines. It's like you can see how the artists breathed life into every single frame.
Back then people didn't know what budget are and make masterpiece like it's normal thing. I swear man 2d animation from 90s is masterpiece
For every second there is 1000 frames

@justaweirdguy376 what are you referencing
@@normaleverydayman7004It could also be a reference to the Xerox process that was first use in 101 Dalmatians.
Out of all the folk stories/ tall tales this was by far the best. Not only is it still relevant, it gives a great American role model. What a man. John Henery is.

Why did he died ?
@@lambsauce6983 he died because of exhaustion. Because at the end of the day he is still human.
@@tfyk5623 Damn…
@@lambsauce6983 The legend says he won but died from either a heart attack or just plain exhaustion. It’s often used as a metaphor for human nature vs progress. Though there is some evidence that the legend is based on a real rail worker from West Virginia.
Dude no joke I thought i imagined this animation because i haven't heard anything about it in years.
Same bro this made me cry this was so awesome but so sad
Last I heard it was like 1st grade mabe kinder garden
@@Oakship166 Dude same.
Omg me too
lol same tho
Machines have their limits, but then again, so does man. Truly, he was an awesome giant, a man among his peers, and an awesome legend, whose spirit can never be forgotten, nor can it ever be replaced. Amen to you, John. Amen.
but the difference between the machine and man is that when a machine reach a limit they simply stop working but when a man reach them and it somthing that has to be done the man does not give he keep going till the job is done even it means pushing the body beyond there limits
Amen
If someone keeps going it means they haven’t reached their limit, a limit is when they literally can’t keep going anymore
Yes a limit on your body is where your body is literally incapable of moving but if you have enough will and actually tell your mind you can keep going you will
Preach. Amen
Disney doesn't even have this on Disney plus. They want to put people down and divide them rather than unite and lift. Instead of have fantastic stories for black history month like this, they pulled their proud family reboot stunt to make people and kids value each other based on their skin. John Henry showed us that hard work is what makes us great.
And it was a mix of whites and free slaves in this film United
Sad but true
Especially with John appearing in the Disney100 short film Once Upon a Studio.
WE ALL BECAME ENEMIES OF OURSELVES, BECAUSE WE ARE MONSTERS
The sequence inside the mountain, the sparks flying, the true grit of human determination vs cold, calculating machines…
That was a perfect representation.
They asked me to rate your comment, 5 stars bro,
I was hesitant to like your comment due to the fact that it has 611 likes (the same number as a certain N&W steam locomotive), but I chose to anyway, as I full-heartedly agree with this statement.
He protec
He attac
But most importantly
He gave them their jobs bac
THis isnt a time for u to tell jokes he was a hero
King Yoshi yes it is
King Yoshi ok boomer
Most importantly he hammer track
Lol he was an ex slave and then a prison laborer.
You could have included the ending scene when John Henry's wife was telling their son about his daddy.
They what
They had a child?!
@@ykxngvevo9534 yeah they did, he appeared at the very end of the movie when his mom was telling him about his dad and he was hiding in a quilt if my memory serves. This was in the Disney film.
Yea

This made me cry so hard. This man was seriously a warrior let the legend of John Henry live on !

The story of John Henry's is literally my favorite. and I didnt even find out about him until my 11 year old brother told me his story. such an inspiration.
so sad l cant believe my eyes l wish l was John Henry
Sad 😢
John Henry has always been one of my heroes and no matter what race or culture you come from he is an inspiring figure to say the least and his story is a shining example of when you set your mind to do something for the right reasons you can do anything even against seemingly impossible odds and he stands as a testament to the undaunted human spirit. Thank you John Henry
That’s what’s up though, gotta have good role models
Fuck yeah!! makes me proud when I use my axe!
I learned about him in my class
It's so sad
ik same so sad
Sad but encouraging...
Me too it's sad he died
I mean that I learn about him
I know
He who so holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR
He who so ever so uses this hammer for justice shall strike with the strength of JOHN HENRY
Amen brother.
Awesome ✊✊✊
Heck yeah!
Well said brother
This was a dope line
For a random 10 minute Disney short, this animation had no reason to go as hard as it did, but holy shit I’m glad it did.
You know whats really sad? I had no idea this existed. I think, especially in today's climate, movies like this that help tell the stories from black history are now needed more than ever. I remember hearing about him in grade school and always thought his story was incredible.
The story is made up 😂
@@hottrin6103 no it ain’t it’s real
the moral of John Henry is that he died trying to fight progress. He's a legend for what he stood for, but he never actually affected anything. It isn't really something to look up to it's just something to consider as you look over your present options.
Yeah I never knew Disney made anything like rhis either.
@@hottrin6103 it doesn't matter even if it is. It's a description of the endurance and tenacity of man (the species) and specifically of black men and women. It speaks to the American spirit and to what has always and always will make America great (God willing)
If it isn't real it's a damn good story that speaks right to the fundamental problem of industrialization and comparing the productivity of men and machines. A man can often outdo a machine but he is eventually broken down trying to continue to do so and so industry has more or less consumed these men by pushing them to work as hard as a Machine can or lose their jobs. I think children everywhere should learn this story that entails so much of what it means to be human maybe even more so now than when the story was first told.
Whether or not there was a John Henry there have definitely been plenty of men who've died locked in competition with a machine as to not lose their livelihood. Substitute any of their names for his and it's true so it is a true story even if John Henry didn't exist.
In short ur getting caught up in the wrong question. The question isn't whether it's a verbatim true story. It's is the story relatable feasible and teaching a valuable lesson? And I think it is. Which makes it's historical accuracy moot.
Ahorita que Disney está con su inclusión, debería hacer una película de este sujeto, en vez de cambiar las razas de otros personajes icónicos.
Es verdad deberían hacer eso

I work as a stone layer. And almost everyday is exhausting. There're times when I just wanna give up and go home. But then I think of John Henry and what he lived for, and just like that, my strength is replenished.
He was a Man...a Giant...but he was a father too. His hard work will forever be remembered in our hearts. He was a Legend...may He Rest In Peace. Amen ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

He didn’t die after he beat the steam drill, look at the video where his son narrates it

In the original story tho he did die after he beat the steam engine that's why it's sad
But in the original story, he said, "I'm dead" before he collapsed

My brother and I grew up with these stories! My brother even had a little rubber mallet he took everywhere! It was so cute!

@@confusedkys6090 ok
John Henry looks built like a freaking Michelangelo statue. Such a legendary animation for a legendary man.
He proved what man could do, that man that could move mountains, break the strongest walls, can do anything. To the man who never gave up hope, but broke the chains of restraint.
He tall
He black
But most importantly
He knows how to make a train track
Exact
But like really well
I just love this animation.
for those who doesn't understand : the guy who control the steam train wants to replace the workers because he care more about an automatic and fast production than worrying about the health of the human workers.
John Henry (the hammer man) doesn't want his friends to lose their job. So he challenge the man : if the machien win, the workers go. But if he win, the guy let them do their job.
At the end of the cartoon, John henry won the challenge and the steam hammer train explode due to the solidity of the rock. But sadly, the dept cost the life of the man because his heart already weak, couldn't bare so much effort.
Henry prove that technology can copy the man's actions, but has more limits.
who’s here after the John Henry movie on netflix
LuxiSZN couldn’t have said it better
@@Jazz369. wait they did THE BLACK THOR like that it was that bad cause I've never seen it
Not me
I will never watch it. They completely lost me when they decided to tell a modernized version of the Ballad of John Henry. As if people actually wanted that. Why was it so hard to make a movie about the actual tale of John Henry. That's what I wanna see. Not some cheap cash grab that nobody can connect with.
John Henry is the very definition of an Absolute Legend.

I love the music so much it matches it shows how John Henry was a strong man and was a steel driving man
“We are the warriors that build this town” this guy screwed big needles into a railroad track with a hammer!
Fun fact: John Henry can carry two 20 pounded hammers both at the time with no struggle!
This ain't the original song
Its kinda crapppy too
Also It might have to do with the mice.
@@adrianafamilymember6427 ok
@@adrianafamilymember6427 how is is it crappy it goes so well because when he said we are the warriors that built this town, it implies that John Henry was a warior who was the man who saved this workers job and never gave up
Don't hate me but... I like the music. Especially when it says "we are the warriors that built this town" This fact is often neglected.
I didn't know what to say when I read this to my step cousin and she asked me, "why all the books I read about black people gotta be sad?😿" I now know that John Henry is an inspiration to many, including me. It is not something to be ashamed of. I actually like what the music was implying and how it flowed.
❤🤘🏾🎧
I think a good superhero show I remembered about back in the day was static shock, dude was one of the early black representation in shows and I highly recommend it.
It blows all the current “woke” production folk outta the water by NOT making the character black by only appearance or by replacing a preexisting character, but by pure merit.

Nothing can stop a man with a goal, nothing made by man can mach him, but in the end nothing can stop him but the limits he sets for himself, and Mr. John Henry was a prime example. May he rest in eternal peace 🙏

@@farranellis8306 racism is being negative about another race, he just stated his opinion
Farran Ellis no it would be racist if it was in a demeaning way or saying the n word
It made me really happy and fascinated to notice that chains becoming the hammer is a great example to show slavery becoming an economic chain for people of colour and forcing them to work in hard jobs to survive.
Disney deberia hacer una pelicula de John Henry mostrando una historia de solidaridad y grandeza en lugar de caer en la inclusión.
the animation of him going through the mountain was fire
the song fits perfectly with the context
Amazing, wow, this is pure motivation, thanks Henry... Rest in peace dear remembered hero! 🕊️
HELL. YES. this song goes so well with the story and it just hits that much harder
Not as hard as his hammers.

Johnson Henry is one of most Black Histories greatest Blackmen ever alive to challenge a "Wrecking Machine!"
Henry had been a part of the famous Battle of Waterloo (1815). At that time, only about 600 soldiers would be allowed to enter Waterloo - that made the Battle of Waterloo the only battle in British World War I history involving 300,000 men. After the battle, it was decided that all of the Black soldiers would be transferred to England and the French to train and fight. All was going well in the Great Lakes area in 1808 when one of the men (Henry Hittes) started calling other of the Black soldiers to him claiming they were "soldiers" (he was wrong! the soldiers were Black Soldiers) and they were being sent into the Jungle to kill soldiers! Henry took what little gold they got, put some food out for them and took them to a village to trade them on the market. He gave them some sugar and they ran away, leaving nothing for them. On their way back, they found Henry and his crew and started a fight as you can read below:
newscientist.msnbc.msn.com/id/3839897/nsn/
In other words, Henry and his Black Crews joined forces with the French Army to destroy the Great Lakes Battle of Waterloo

Only “corporations” are unlikely to deign to pay attention to this person. To them, he is just one of those who can be easily replaced for personal gain. This is how the modern world works - “a world of benefit without law”
@@Red_Acolyte_Hashut It's kinda sad because there are People who still work the jobs that could easily replace them and Wealthy people and ignorant people just assume their useless idiots wasting their time. People dont want to just survive they want to do more than that.

The imagey of John going in and the incredible lightning work, along the fast paced scenes, was one of the hardest things i saw as a child.
When it came to the animated shorts piled together to make the direct-to-video animated movie American Legends for Disney, with the legendary James Earl Jones as the narrator, the story of John Henry was my absolute favorite.
I have heard of this man ever since childhood, he has man me feel light. A great man he was.
