"JOHN HENRY THE STEEL DRIVING MAN" by Andrey Zolotukhin 2001

[@williamh1330]

Always loved the story of John Henry. How in the world could you thumb down this story. People need to hear more about great men like this man.

[@charlesromine8794]

I remember watching this in 2nd grade. Such a powerful cartoon about the legend himself. I'm glad I found this. I've been wanting to act and really could see myself in a biopic playing this man. I'm speaking it into existence!

[@Acoustic_Mutale]

Same thing .. watched it a long Time ago

[@TeifiValley123]

I saw this more than 12 years ago when I was just a kid. I cant believe i found it after all these years. I love KZbin.

I'm so happy and grateful that this cartoon was a part of my childhood. 😊

[@acoffeewithsatan]

Thanks for sharing this episode, I remember seeing this series on TV when I was a kid but this one was the one that touched me the most, so that to this day I remembered it.

[@artzoo2010]

André Fontes trank you!

[@michaelmoore9968]

It's crazy how I remembered this from my childhood and found it.

[@angelareed-maddox3207]

This is amazing the narration the artwork editing storytelling everything was phenomenal I remember the story from when I was a kid but I had never seen this video until today it's awesome. John Henry is it she Testament of what it is to be a man and a friend and a husband.

[@intipampa]

this was beautifully animated and well executed

[@unionrdr]

My book details many old hammer songs from back in the old days about John. It's one of the few ways his story details were remembered & recorded.

[@Wyndamn]

John Henry is what you'd call an " Essential Worker" 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@kaijulord54]

The first time I learned of John Henry was when I was in 4th grade watching a short cartoon in school. The cartoon didn't say that John Henry had beaten the machine so I always thought he had lost.

[@djshuffl3r]

I mean he did lose... his life that is

This is gorgeous. Good work, Andrey :)

[@giorgospapanikolaou1396]

I saw it when i was a child, got surprised when i found it on KZbin, it brought to me memories..

[@unionrdr]

this is an oral tradition in my family. One ballad claims he said, " A man ain't nothin but a man. If the lord say machines, ought to take the place of livin', then what's the substitute for bread & beans? I ain't seen it! do engines, get rewarded for their steam"?

[@unionrdr]

John fell over outside the tunnel, so they say. He asked if he beat that old steam drill. He beat it by 5 1/2 feet! His last spike still sticks out of the top of the tunnel. They left it there to honor the greatest steel drivin man! Pollyanne cradles him as he spoke. I had my heart swell up like his once in the basement of the Ford Foundry once. I forget what they called it at the Company Dr's. Dang near killed me. But I did wind up crippled in middle age. I wonder, sometimes, if his way was better?

[@brandonmyob8073]

unionrdr John Henry A.K.A. Big Bad John, died when he saved 20 men when a timber cracked at the bottom of the mine where he worked at, he survived the machine race.

[@unionrdr]

Not the same guy, as far as oral history in my family goes?

[@brandonmyob8073]

unionrdr John Henry is Big Bad John I seen John's statue and it was in exact detail as Jimmy Dean's song kind of broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip.

[@chicodemente2809]

Among all the American icons, only 5 are who I deemed with high regards: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincon, Martain Luther King Junior, & John Henry.

[@Roncace]

I wonder how this story came about and how it was originally told

[@ericbelander2319]

I really wish I could find the one I heard in 4th grade music class. Guy told it with a deep voice, had a beat behind it, told about him growing really fast as a kid, possibly even born with hammer in hand. Drilling against machine was also part of it.

[@denisebutler8042]

It seems to be a great tale of great grit sweat love

[@MzParker29]

wonder if this was a way of making ppl think the chaingang was Ok? Either way thanks for posting

[@Ebani]

He is still very much alive.

[@lightheart5]

Legends never die

[@DanielGonzalez-vp8et]

John henry died due too lack of fresh air and black smoke cloging his lungs and also lack of refreshments water and food

[@joeflo6640]

john henry died for to much pressure

[@sylviafootman183]

I just saw the whole movie on NETFLIX= Walt Disney's mini movie

[@joeflo6640]

but john henry was a body builder

[@Missgirlkailll]

Why did he haft to die?! 😭🤧😪

[@bigpizza5319]

Amari Various it’s a hero’s conquest

[@bigpizza5319]

He earned death

[@bigpizza5319]

Chassity Taylor I am not hating. Earning death is part of a heroes conquest. His greatness larger than life. His drive better than his own body. He was more than his own flesh, stronger than his own nervous system. His mind made him great which killed him cos his body was weaker. If you can have determination like this you can hurt yourself or have yourself killed, but it can also make you great. So grow your mind.

[@bigpizza5319]

Chassity Taylor Nah, this story is tight as fuck

[@mr.o1333]

Big Pizza it’s tight that he died? He earned death? I’m not feeling how you worded that at all.

The story has changed on john henry many times .todays political correctness has determinded the story a myth .as a child i took a photo in d c. Museum .of a john henry hammer .

[@robertromero8692]

I think the phrase "man vs. machine" is silly. Machines are a creation of man, so it's really "man using only his muscles vs. man using his mind to create something much greater than his muscles". It's man's mind that makes him great, not his muscles. We don't need more men with muscles. We need more men with creative minds.

You're right, Jimmy Dean sang the true story.

It's a whole lot more like the old ballads keeping his story alive. I list some and discuss them in my book linked above. This is an old oral tradition in my family.
