About
Synopsis
John Henry (2000) is a Disney animated short you can watch online on iFILM. It retells the African American folk legend of the steel-driving man said to have been born with a hammer in his fist, swinging it to blast railroad tunnels through solid rock faster than any crew alongside him.
Then the company rolls in a steam-powered drill that never tires, and John Henry stakes everything on one contest: flesh and muscle against the machine. Alfre Woodard narrates the ten-minute ballad over gospel and spirituals, and director Mark Henn packs a whole heroic life into the runtime. Stream John Henry (2000) online on iFILM.
