Okay, so thebasic storyline is that Jonny lives on his own with his apple trees and he wants to be a pioneer but he doesn't have the muscle and the pioneers act like apple seeds are worthless and then jonnys angel persuades him to go out west and make apples known....RIGHT?
I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere before..........Oh yes! I remember now! I was in kindergarden, and my teacher played this, and in morning snack, we sang jhonnys song.
@tokyomop It is, but the Bible and the Farmer's Almanac were pretty much the only books your average early 19th century farmer had, so I guess you make do with whatever reading material you've got. :/
this make me cry... I love johhny appleseed... so humble... "Johnny was proff that one doesn't need great strength or size to become an American Legend; a man's deeds can live on".... the first time I heard those words spoken I was 10 and I live by them to this very day.. Every child should watch this..
It's so sad that young kids today don't have short TV cartoons like this to give them a basic appreciation of our nation's proud history. It's no wonder that kids think history is boring and not worth learning, which is VERY dangerous for our future.
I always got the book called The Story of Johnny Appleseed. The part of the story that Johnny Appleseed stop the Native American and the American settlers fight by glorified and justified the taking of my people's land by been brothers and he show that the land was their brothers. This is why their brotherhood through the land until new version will inspired to film by computer animation.
Best story but not fake it's truth in a apple tree good love hope faith trust go build your better tomorrow I love you an almighty god does love each an everything in the kingdom you can build a better life look were you are now ... Make your life as it should be amen an god bless
Hmmmmm, wearing a tin pot hat and a coffee sack, has a long beard, believed all men were his brothers, vegetarian. OMG Johnny Appleseed was the first hippie!!!
@Dawnpool93 Actually, the first hippies were Greek. They were called Cynics. They existed from the 1st century to the 5th century BC. The very first Cynic was a Greek philosopher named Antisthenes. This means that Antisthenes was essentially the true first hippie.
historical Johnny Appleseed (true name John Chapman) planted orchards from seeds, and the apples grown would have been used for cider, the puritans choice drink. He was against the perversion of using grafted clones for fruit production. His business was profitable b/c the government required new settlers to plant at least 50 apple trees (or other orchard trees) to encourage long-term settlement! He was a very eccentric man, who was loved for the entertainment and alcohol source that he provide
back before America cut God out of everything ...and look at this country now and the garbage thats on the tv today.. and the state of our country ...how sad
When something nice happens I can't help but think of this song. Sometimes, if I'm in a really good mood (and preferably, by myself) I sing it. "The Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord..." Dennis Day had such an amazing voice.
One thing I've never understood about Johnny Appleseed is apples never come true to form if you plant them from seed. The only thing his apples would have been good for is brewing hard cider.
@Vontergarten The real historical Johnny Appleseed didn't really wander around scattering seeds or planting orchards. He started nurseries, left them in someone's care, and came back periodically to tend them. When he died he left an inheritance of several profitable nurseries to his sister.

That song that Johnny is singing, the first verse is my quote on Facebook. I love that song, used to sing it before every meal and snack at Camp Edwards in fourth grade.
I love this man, when he turned 40 he acquired a canoe full of appleseeds and planted apple saplings barefoot, years later the orchards became communities. Check out my channel if you like that stuff
This is how I wish Disney would make cartoons these days! I remember watching these when I was little and always laughing at 5:36-5:38 when the angel is flying without wings! Haha! I really wish they had better cartoons these days!
when johnny goes out into the western fronteer it reminds me of when elijah went into the wilderness, in that he's friends with wild animals and has powers over nature
because really, "a little spot of open ground with fertile soil" and no trees growing on it and so soft you can plow it with a stick? that is pretty miraculous
I had this as an LP when I was a kid in the 1970s, but I think it was from earlier. Dennis Day is great in this! And the songs are very good--but possibly almost impossible to get out of Disney any more. "The Lord is Good to Me"--yes!
thank you sooooo much! I remember this from long ago and finally I've found this cartooon through your help. Can you remember when our nation loved God?
my grandfather use to tape this all the time off his satellite before people really had cable. i must have watched this and a ton of the older disney counters hundreds of times with him staying at their house. really brings back lots of fond me memories. it's kind of a shame reading alot of these comments now. political correctness really has screwed up our society when people are forced to feel so ashamed about something as harmless as childrens cartoons.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A scrawny outcast with a pot on his head goes into the wilderness to plant apple seeds while mumbling to his invisible angel friend and he is a folk hero.
The best part of this cartoon is it's Celebration of FAITH and the COLONIZING of America. No apologes for being a great country with a great history. Sta away from athiestics REgressives. No chest and puny cause he was a vegertarian but he had Faith.
@kumasie01 "Stay away from atheistic regressives."
Johnny was a Swedenborgian Christian, indifferent of materialism and nonjudgmental of other people's views. He loved animals and nature. He never married because he believed that a wife awaited him in heaven. In today's America people like you would label him a lunatic.
Being Native American I should probably make a comment about how colonialism and pioneers glorified and justified the taking of my people's land...but gosh darn it this is just one dang good cartoon and it's hard to get mad witth a good spirited cartoon.
@ColumbiaAndHoodRiver I can safely say not that I know of. I've heard tales of a few tribes doing so but they have so far been baseless so I don't think so.
@Bloodbirdy It was wrong of them, taking advantage of them, me being the great-great-great-great granddaughter of a great pioneer. It was terribly wrong, the natives of America thought they were sharing the land, not selling it. Terribly wrong of my ancestors.
@Bloodbirdy Johnny Appleseed was a man who didnt claim any home for himself. I agree that America has ravaged the Native Americans more than any other race including the original African Americans. And damnit your right this is a good cartoon
@Bloodbirdy I hear what you are saying but you can can find things that any culture did that was bad if you really want to, i mean Native Americans did a lot of really brutal and horrifying things to each other long before the Pal Faces arrived. We can either focus on the negative or learn from mistakes and dwell on the positive.
@meh5meh really, and what positive aspects can my people face today? And by the state of the world no one has learned from any of the mistakes they have committed. Kind of hard to maintain a "Oh Well Press On" attitude when one's people faced near extinction and others outside of that race twist and prevert a culture and heritage to suit their own interpretation. Hard to focus when the remains of a nations ancestors are on display at a museum after being dug up for "science".
@meh5meh After saying all of that here's what I believe in the spirit of my original comment. I refuse to forget all the atrocities that happened to my people but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to forgive nor am I willing to just sit in the past and brood. There is no reason why I or any of my people cannot push on and create a new legacy and find a new strength but that doesn't mean the past should be forgotten else the sacrifice and death of so many will be in vain.
@Bloodbirdy Yeah, the killing of millions of native americans is probably the darkest thing in American history, along with the Atlantic slave trade. Disney really glorifies it, but its unerasable.
Like Diogenes the Cynic, it's hard to tell how much of the Johnny Appleseed stories are true, but these guys are the real deal. They gave up everything they had simply to make a point. Not many willing to do that for sure. That's why these folks are so admired.
If you seen a guy wearing a tin pot and a coffee sack praising the lord, would you really be thankful? Really? As a side note, the real Johnny Appleseed died of exposure....the Lord surely was good to him :D
if you like that, you should look up roscoe holcomb (on youtube((banjo WIZARD!))) or harry smith's anthology of american folk (local library or amazon.)
One of the most beautiful stories ever.. my father loved this..We need more johnny's in the world..how complicated the world has become since then.. lessons to be learnt in this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It was just myth that john chapman wore a pot on his head. Although it is proven that hemp was a large commodity during this time period. So he might of actually been a pothead. According to myth he also didnt wear shoes... yeah this guy was a stoner
The Lord is gud me,and so I thank the Lord,for givin me the things I need-the sun and rain and an apple seed,yes hes ben gud to me.I owe the Lord so much,for everything I see,Im certain if it werent for him thered be no apples on this limb,hes been gud to me.Oh here and my-The blue blue sky,doin as I plez,singin with my feathered friends hummin with the bees-I wake up evryday,as happy as can be,becauz I know that with his care-my apple trees-they will still be there-Oh,The Lord is gud to me
i remeber watching this movie in 3rd grade we also watched a movie like this but wasnt a cartoon it was about paul broning john henrey and a western guy but it was in real life
I remember watching movies like this in gradeschool as well. They would line us up and take us into the MP room and we'd all sit on those hard chairs and watch this movie from a projector. What a great and memorable time.

@kumasie01 "Stay away from atheistic regressives."
Johnny was a Swedenborgian Christian, indifferent of materialism and nonjudgmental of other people's views. He loved animals and nature. He never married because he believed that a wife awaited him in heaven. In today's America people like you would label him a lunatic.

Being Native American I should probably make a comment about how colonialism and pioneers glorified and justified the taking of my people's land...but gosh darn it this is just one dang good cartoon and it's hard to get mad witth a good spirited cartoon.

@Bloodbirdy your native, awesome core

@ColumbiaAndHoodRiver I can safely say not that I know of. I've heard tales of a few tribes doing so but they have so far been baseless so I don't think so.

@Bloodbirdy It was wrong of them, taking advantage of them, me being the great-great-great-great granddaughter of a great pioneer. It was terribly wrong, the natives of America thought they were sharing the land, not selling it. Terribly wrong of my ancestors.

@Bloodbirdy Johnny Appleseed was a man who didnt claim any home for himself. I agree that America has ravaged the Native Americans more than any other race including the original African Americans. And damnit your right this is a good cartoon

@Bloodbirdy I hear what you are saying but you can can find things that any culture did that was bad if you really want to, i mean Native Americans did a lot of really brutal and horrifying things to each other long before the Pal Faces arrived. We can either focus on the negative or learn from mistakes and dwell on the positive.
meh5meh 1 year ago
@meh5meh really, and what positive aspects can my people face today? And by the state of the world no one has learned from any of the mistakes they have committed. Kind of hard to maintain a "Oh Well Press On" attitude when one's people faced near extinction and others outside of that race twist and prevert a culture and heritage to suit their own interpretation. Hard to focus when the remains of a nations ancestors are on display at a museum after being dug up for "science".
Bloodbirdy 1 year ago
@meh5meh After saying all of that here's what I believe in the spirit of my original comment. I refuse to forget all the atrocities that happened to my people but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to forgive nor am I willing to just sit in the past and brood. There is no reason why I or any of my people cannot push on and create a new legacy and find a new strength but that doesn't mean the past should be forgotten else the sacrifice and death of so many will be in vain.

@Bloodbirdy I definitely noticed the glorifying, heh. But you're right, in other ways it's a very sweet, inspirational cartoon. :)

@Bloodbirdy you're a good person. Not many on youtube.

@Bloodbirdy Yeah, the killing of millions of native americans is probably the darkest thing in American history, along with the Atlantic slave trade. Disney really glorifies it, but its unerasable.

Like Diogenes the Cynic, it's hard to tell how much of the Johnny Appleseed stories are true, but these guys are the real deal. They gave up everything they had simply to make a point. Not many willing to do that for sure. That's why these folks are so admired.

If you seen a guy wearing a tin pot and a coffee sack praising the lord, would you really be thankful? Really? As a side note, the real Johnny Appleseed died of exposure....the Lord surely was good to him :D

It was just myth that john chapman wore a pot on his head. Although it is proven that hemp was a large commodity during this time period. So he might of actually been a pothead. According to myth he also didnt wear shoes... yeah this guy was a stoner
