[@626joshua]

Ah... the old classic cartoons and films. Brings back childhood memories.

[@Jayhawkboyfan]

This is no doubt, my favorite cartoon and American folklore.

[@MrRiley1000]

American one piece I call it. (I also love this animation. Not sarcasm despite my what not:

[@christopherjudge1138]

A classic folk tale, in the traditional ranking bass style, done ENTIRELY in rhyme! I remember watching that special on TV 38 back in the '90s!

Can't beat the classics!!!!

Jim Allison you said it

[@joshualee7006]

Jim Allison agreed

[@SovereignStatesman]

But Rankin-bass can RUIN them.

[@W34RD07]

Tom Evans Well it didn't ruin it for me. I love this! This was part of my childhood and my favourite cartoon back in the day.

This is my 1st time actually watching this in its entirety! I was born in 1986 so I wasn't too familiar with it. The legendary giant!

I've been looking for this for ages m8 used to have it on video thanks for uploading

[@faceman8742]

Same was born in 1993 but was a hand be down vhs from my brothers. Been stuck in my head for sooo long, I’m from the UK so not a story anybody knows about. Even my brothers can’t remember it telling me I’d made it up

[@CJColvin]

Now thats the pure Minnesotan accent.

[@paulvonk1421]

pauls ,character, reminds me of my neighbor .He tells everyone he meets,everyone used to call me little Dougie,but now the call me Big Dougie.And my friends ask me why I lift so much weight in the gym and I say because I CAN.

[@urmom6701]

They really just said let's give Paul two dads and try to make them look as straight as possible, they did not know what they were implying omg.

[@Bandersnatch41]

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that 😂. Yeah it was the 70s. I doubt it even crossed their mind

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Man I have not seen this animation since I was like, 3-4. I thought it was silly then and it still is. Animation is like the old Rudolf and friends stop motion movies. Appropriate for a tall tale like this.

[@RakaiThwei]

I remember seeing this so many years ago, back when I was in Kindergarten and First Grade! I mostly remember it for that fiddle music which was playing and the chopping context between Paul and Pete! Good to see it here!

[@samensa1]

used to rent and love these as a kid- watching them on youtube is comforting

[@keshiaanders6452]

Tween Paul Bunyan looks like Christopher Robin from "Winnie the Pooh."

Savage Source me too! Found this cartoon yesterday and this cartoon has been on my mind for years! And the music kept reminding me of this fabulous cartoon!

[@SOMeDoOD1992]

I love this movie, thank you

[@xLoLRaven]

Why is it that the 1958 Paul Bunyan cartoon is better than the 1973 version...? Not a bad show by any means, I'm just confused at how the animation techniques seem to have regressed.

[@kevincass9917]

Because this was made by Rankin Bass, whereas the 58 version is done by Disney, if I recall correctly

[@StacieBriley]

I was looking for the music not the cartoon - _ -,

[@joshbrinkman1513]

they dont make them like they used to

[@TheInkPitOx]

I just watched the whole cartoon and was disappointed by the end. How can he be called a folk hero if he loses?

[@johnnyfuture3524]

If you watched the whole cartoon, then you should know he doesnt lose. Lol

[@TheInkPitOx]

@@johnnyfuture3524 This was the first time in years that I had seen the cartoon, so I had forgotten the ending.

[@eyewitnesslover7997]

where is babe the blue ox?

Maybe he forgot to add him.

[@RambunctiousVA]

Was anyone scared at all when low quality cartoon's like this were the norm? I'm a 2,000's kid, so these cartoons are so weird.

[@RambunctiousVA]

BearclawsVillage It's so weird how the end of every little tune , like in that clip you sent me, seemed to fade to just some , weird , demonic pitch at the end.

[@whomagoose6897]

A time where children's cartoons were the way they are supposed to be. Something wholesome for children. Not that "Mary has two mommies" crap. No queer hour story hour. Leave the children alone. No pervert agendas.

there can still be educational content without being controversial

I like the 1958 version better. This one sucks
