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.

Disney doesn't even have this on Disney plus. They want to put people down and divide them rather than unite and lift.

[@eliottdeletraz97]

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.

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.

[@onceuponadime978]

Yeah I never knew Disney made anything like rhis either.

[@onceuponadime978]

@@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.

[@LuxCirilo]

This was the last piece of media I watched with my mom before she passed away due to cancer. Bt that time I didn't even know she had it. She believed in purpose and she often cared and worried about that. After Henry died she told me that when someone completes their purpose they may just die because they exhaust themselves to that very purpose because that's what they lived for, that's what their life was about and when it's done so they are, and that's why it was so important for her to know what you were destined to and be ready for that because you would only have a chance in a lifetime to do that, you also have only one mother in a lifetime, and I cannot say she didn't make of me the best she could do but nonetheless it feels more like a defeat than a victory, when I look at this short film I always think of how sad is that John died and that he won at the cost of his life, but he didn't earn a victory for himself, he did it for others and I think that's a good headstart to know where is your purpose and is knowing what is it that you can do for others that they cannot and they need you to. You win something you lose something equal to that value, I guess when you accomplish your objective in life the cost can only be as much as that vety thing and even if it sounds bad, you just have to think that if it's something worth dying for then you are not losing anything you were not willing to sacrifice anyways, that's commitment, you will live for that and you will die with that hammer in your hands

[@jigglesworthoathbringer1997]

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

We need more like this! Man beats machine from a hammer swing through a mountain. John Henry is a legendary character/person and no one can convince me otherwise

[@souhardyaadhikari7822]

Bro I never imagined Disney would create a video in such a topic.

[@mataengendroz1]

Why this looks like Animan 💀 Unironically good short

[@anhkhoanguyentran5130]

this is disney lol

[@mataengendroz1]

@@anhkhoanguyentran5130 I already know

[@jax-ninjanat8778]

Its Very fitting. John Henry was a great man.

[@alexhuggy9114]

I watched this video with my class, they loved the song and wanted to play it over and over again 💗

[@sugarjanis3054]

The Man of steel. Moving & Inspiring. Nice video.

[@anhtuvu9788]

If it was any normal human, they would’ve gave up when they realized there was a mountain But this man, he is a steel machine fueled by nothing but pure determination, he swore to protect the job of everyone around him from the cold, dark machine He shall known as the steel hand who beat machinery itself

[@Ragnarok345]

Oh my god, I KNEW I DIDN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!! I saw some of this animation elsewhere on the internet, thought “is that the movie with the epic fight-race through the mountain?” then thought this animation style didn’t remotely resemble the type of scene I was remembering, but then found this. I feel vindicated!

He is great He is known He is fierce But most importantly... He saved millions of people

[@JD-wr7fu]

how did he save millions, exactly?

[@leonides1527]

​@@JD-wr7fu I think they're saying that people would've lost their jobs on working on the railroad tracks since the higher ups would basically see this as "hey. Machines are better than humans"

[@samlopez1293]

Anybody gonna talk about how much of a banger this was?

[@MoltenUprisingMK]

I'm not a black person, and this is making me feel such pride.

[@Siahtheguy]

Could Thor pick up John Henrys hammer? don't think so

[@vinzesco]

The man who outbeated the machinery. We shouldn't bond nationality nor race it to it, but a sheer fascination of the man.

[@jagi6170]

In the End, It was a Pyrrhic Victory for John Henry. He won against the machine... But at what cost? His life, sadly.

[@tyronebriggs5721]

Dude went out like a Viking with his weapon in his hand lol. John Henry the goat

[@epicmoo991]

I remember watching this 20+ years ago as a kid and haven't seen it since. I always thought of it as not as just a fever dream, but as a tale of a legend ascending humanity unto godhood.

[@vurlox]

This should be named why African Americans should be treated the best R.I.P. JOHN HENRY

[@metromaru]

But shouldn’t everyone be treated the same?

[@aceisheartless117]

All equally not just black not just white BOTH

[@chrisp4496]

Well, the difference is that John Henry actually worked his butt off and earned some respect. He didn't shy away from the challenge or say it was too unfair or steal the radio in the train or whatever.

[@tinoruiz8802]

This tale always broke me heart. Ever since I first saw it in early elementary school. Quite the allegory.

[@jules07906]

Ufotable: We have the best Animation Mappa: No, we have Me:Ever watched this? 2:23

[@Fyvalith]

this is animation from like the 90s and each frame was drawn by hand, frame by frame. Mappa and any other studio wishes they were this good

[@Fermion.]

Why aren't there a line of tools named after this man? Some John Henry tools would be a perfect way to honor his hard working spirit. - Looks like we're working overnight on this one, boys. Go get my tools from the truck. - Which ones? DeWalts, Ryobis, Milwaukees? - None. This is gonna be a tough one. Bring out the John Henrys. - OMG...

[@wojak-sensei6424]

They did NOT have government clearance to go that hard 🔥🔥

[@antiandroid-b9r]

I fought a kid when I was in the third grade because talked shit about John Henry.

[@girlhelp8364]

Good move.

[@gm25i]

Good job GG
