It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
I remember watching these classic Disney shorts on "The Wonderful World of Disney" or at school when I was a kid, and now my children can see them as well. "Paul Bunyon" was always my favorite, and I love the new "John Henry" segment, but Eddie Cantor's narration on the Casey Jones piece is just plain annoying.James Earl Jones provides some historical background to the men behind legends.7/10
I borrowed the DVD, and I had forgotten the old classics of Jonny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan and Casey Jones. They are fun old Disney cartoons from the 40's and 50's. I am glad that Disney released them on DVD so my children can enjoy to old cartoons and the new John Henry one.
