    The animation of him blasting through a mountain with red hot hammers is one of the most savage things Disney has ever made.

    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

      The man died. I don't get how the lesson people get from this is that they can reach any goal. The real lesson is that you may reach your goals, but at what price?
      Men often overwork themselves and wonder how they have no relationship with their children, or wonder why their wife leaves them or are surprised that when they finally have enough money to "enjoy life" they don't have the health to do so. Is becoming a "legend" worth losing your loved ones and your health? Who's benefiting from you being that legend? Clearly, not the deads.

      @@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.

    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.

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.

      Uh, that's not what that meant at all. Its an uplifting message of the chained using said chains to make something of themselves. Everyone had to work hard to survive, POC had it rougher obviously, but that's not really what the subject matter here was about.

      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
