This is the greatest short film Disney has ever made. I remember watching this over and over again when I was four years old, and now that I’ve found it again, I’ve been watching it daily. Never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Thank you so much for bringing this film back into my life.
What the hell?

The film itself is worthy of five stars. Unfortunately, there's a defect that is preventing it from streaming. This issue has been ongoing for a long while and may never be corrected. Can only view a downloaded version.
Best Disney short film

This is a wonderful movie, but don’t buy it on iTunes. iTunes has locked it so that it can only show on your computer and not through a projector. or other device. I have purchased many iTunes movies and normally they are all great (less the movie itself is boring), but John Henry refuses to work for me and messes up my computer when I try to get it to work. Buy it on Amazon instead- I simply had to buy it twice- Amazon’s version works better!
Wonderful, marvelous!!

Great African American folk story. A well thought and executed animation.
