Paul Bunyan part 2 of 2

[HyaenusDominae]

Is that Tony the Tiger voicing Paul?

[inFAMOUS581]

what a fucking idiot i woud fucking crush that log chopper 9000

[tyrongkojy]

"Go" Sorry

[tyrongkojy]

"Ho Paul, you've already put all of US out of work!" Ah, children's shows plot holes. So fun to find them.

[tokyomop]

I just think it's funny as hell that those loggers are all anti-train! Fuck the trains, we don't need 'em!

[mechatech70]

the salesman is standing up to a giant to sell his saw. ... Man's got cajones.

[MattFerrantino]

Paul Bunyan, John Henry, and Johnny Appleseed are all Great American Folk Heroes. Until their ideological descendants learn how to be friends, I fear there will always be trouble, but one thing is very clear: all 3 of these men loved this country and it's great nation, and did their work for her to make her even greater than their forefathers found it. Railroads, Apple Trees, and Really Big Axes CAN get along. If you let them. Find the way, and you can make something REALLY great out of it! :D

[justinulysse]

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL RIVERS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

[TherealRNO]

"With his double-blade axe & hard-nail boots, he goes where the timber's tall", so really, were it not for the original settlers who had the mindset of this giant tall tale, we wouldn't have had the progress that bested tradition in this story, because it is because of lumberjacks & other hard-working middle-class Americans that people had the houses they lived & worked in. If not for land being remolded to fit the American Dream, much of the technology we have now would cease to exist.

[Nyghtshade409]

Oh come on. I've used modern-day saws, and no man that scrawny could even heft something that could cut so much as a toothpick! Paul rules. :D

We need our old legends back. I've met several people who have never heard of Paul, or John Henry (who was a real person) or Pecos Bill! What happened to our legends, the ones who's stories were supposed to help us live our lives as good people and point us in the right direction? We need these guys back.

[DreamDancer82]

RIP Thurl Ravenscroft. That's gotta be him doing Paul Bunyan's voice.

[nocturned85]

Paul Bunyan never fought Rodan

[amm019]

Babe acts more like a dog than an ox

[jsphere101]

Take this in conjuction with the defeat of John Henry by the steam drill and one might come away with the idea that technology has killed our heroes.

[TherealRNO]

@jsphere101: Actually, Henry WON in his tall tale. But he died mere moments after due to over-exhaustion & over-working. But yes, couple these two tales together & technology--for all its progress in making life easier--has diminished people's work ethic & killed our legendary heroes, whether they be fictional (Bunyan) or real (Henry).

[MattFerrantino]

@TherealRNO Diminished people's work ethic?! HARDLY! Does the phrase 'Challenge Accepted' resonate with you? =D

I hope technology KEEPS advancing. Chuck Norris is getting bored because he's running out of machines to be better than.

THERE.

Iron-clad, Steam-powered proof that no amount of efficiency and power in a mere MACHINE can ever outdo a human being. Machines only go 100% all of the time. Sometimes, humans go 110. And that will make all the difference.

[TherealRNO]

@MattFerrantino: to your comments, i love tech as much as any (heck, why else why would we be watching these classics on the internet), but people have become too lazy due to the advancement of tech; if we lose our legendary roots (founded by our forefathers & tall tales like this one), we lose a piece of our heritage & honestly, if the internet had a blackout, only people from the 80s & earlier would be able to survive, having lived without the internet before.

[TherealRNO]

@MattFerrantino: Plus, were it not for the core settlers who had the mindset of this giant tall tale (including our forefathers who begot the story, telling it through word of mouth prior to books), we wouldn't have had the progress of the digital age, because it is because of lumberjacks & other hard-working middle-class Americans that people had the houses they lived & worked in. If not for land being remolded to fit the American Dream, the tech toys we have now wouldn't exist.

[balkthor]

The one thing I learned from this:

Adults want to look smart to everyone.

Children just want to have fun.

[justinlang1555]

disnay needs to play the old stuff.this new crap they have is bs but i remeber this when i was a small chiled

[TehSockMonkey]

paul bunyan's voice<3

[smplylst]

lol



[teencomment]

Well that's a stupid way to lose...they probably both had the same amount of trees, the guy with the chainsaw had probably just cut down a slightly thicker one somewhere.

[Hethrin]

HOW CAN YOU HAVE 1/4 INCH MORE LUMBER THAN SOMEONE ELSE!?!?!

[punkpersonified]

i never understood why they measured the height instead of the number of logs.

[wiredtvcraze]

I saw this eons upon eons ago and it's still better than ever.

[utpunkster]

"What the Sam hell 's that thing?"

[EasthamMa]

i like that blue cow MOOOOO! LOL!

[spleenblender]

Moral of this story: Progress is bad! Stick to tradition!

This is the kind of crap that made spoiled Baby Boomers have an overinflated sense of tradition.

That being said, I loved this cartoon when I was a kid.

[LivingCrusader]

1/4 inch?! What a crock! Oh well. At least Paul and Babe didn't lose their cheeriness afterwards. Though this has been said a million times, they don't make cartoons like they used to anymore.

[krewpiorun]

i saw him in this film with marching penguins

[genestarwindjf80]

Get em Babe Get Em.

[supagog]

why dont they have cartoons this good anymore? I wish i lived 50 years ago

[RickRudesMustache]

oh man i must have watched this a thousand times at my grandfathers house on one of his old tapes. back before most people had cable he had a satellite and i'd get to watch and the old disney stuff.

[wyatt50000]

he is real but he was not that big

[Hellsoljah]

He looks taller than 6ft 3 lol my first guess was 20 ft

[Hethrin]

It's 63 axe handles high :)

[Hellsoljah]

my mistake lol I thought it was 6ft 3

[Doug19752533]

Paul should have just sliced that motherfucker in two. "Ill show you what i can do with this axe!" SWISH!!! end of Joe lol

[hsuehhs]

When I was younger I thought Paul Bunyan was a real person!

[raterroyale]

ends kind of like John Henry. Big man must defeat machine in a man-operated industry and works hard but pays a price.

[jontibloom]

Yes I agree that there is probably more land area given over to foresting that 100 yrs ago but the tress today are pipsqueaks compared to the giants of before and yet still logging operations lobby to cut the remaining Old Growths - clearly coz it is more profitable to cut and process a 500 yr 200' tree that a 50' one which is a mere 30 yrs old

[poorman369]

paul doesn't have to work as much hes just going all calm like and joe has to move alot more

[Shirraz87]

umm when i was little i never quite understood how paul bunyan lost that contest. it always looks like hes kicking butt.

i feel like people are being overly sensitive about a Disney Cartoon... >.>

[deerhuntin01]

@Shirraz87 I think paul had more, but joe got a few thicker logs. But ya, I agree with you.

[Canemikat]

@Shirraz87 Disney is successful and that's why its under scrutiny so much. If some little animation company did something controversial no one would think much of it. But because its Disney and its so successful and it has a message of positivity people scrutinize every last single second of everything the company is involved with. But the company is not the studio.

[wildheart19]

1:19 It's pernouced Ore-E-gin not Ore-e-gon. Only out-of-staters call it Ore-e-gon.

[Doug19752533]

thats interesting because ive known several people from Oregon who both pronounced it Ore-uh-gin. sounds like organ (the instrument) with an "eh" in the middle.

[ugocrazy]

Much freakin' out here... This is a tale of americana. Now this doesn't promote wanton destruction of our beloved nature, it puts forward hard work, friendship, loyalty, honor and kindness. Now does that ring a bell? Sounds to me like good ol' North American values.

Right, this goes against the new millennium"s eco-sensitivity, but keep in mind that the united states were not made being careful not to hurt nature.

This cartoon illustrate what was, there are lessons here. Learn them.

[tyrongkojy]

@ugocrazy Where are those NOT values?

[tyrongkojy]

@ugocrazy Where are those NOT values?

[polarisedelectrons]

I used to watch this show all the time as a kid, and I loved it. Yep, I definitely grew up to be an axe-wielding, tree-felling lumberjack with no concern whatsoever for the environment and its creatures. I cut down trees left and right and collect plastic bags and stuff them all in my four-car garage with my Hummers, because after watching this as a child, that's all I ever wanted to do for the rest of my eco-terrorising life.

[Matthew6870]

You gotta love Thurl.

[DonDiesel84]

This cartoon is my favorite. Used to watch it over and over agin when I was a little kid! Ha you environmently friendly people crack me up. Where do you think your homes and furnature came from? My furnature is made of rare amazonian rainforest trees and my home was built with california redwoods. Just because I watched this cartoon as a kid!

[jontibloom]

I suggest that Disney redresses the harm done by this cartoon gloryfying this "Eco Vandal" Paul Bunyan and makes another cartoon in which Buyan sees the error of his ways and replants the forests rather than destroying them.

[WHQODJYSingers]

Well ... there is Johnny Appleseed. Does that count?

[brian1969a]

You do realize there are more forrested acres in the USA today than at any time in history, right?

[PfunkGW]

Paul Bunyan ecological criminal!

[GCB1982]

People like you are the ones who ruin the world.

[tigertail777]

I remember fondly watching this as a kid too. Love how it preserves the tall tales of Americana that might otherwise be forgotten. The tall tale was practically an art form here in the early USA. Disney didn't invent Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill, they just made animated versions of these obviously ridiculous but entertaining stories that were made by our early pioneer forefathers. Most normal kids can tell between fantasy and reality, get off the politically correct police act.

[x7ian]

This cartoon sucks!

Is this what u want to teach to yur children!

I remember watching it when i was a kid, i had no consciousness, therefore i could not give a personal opinion about it. Now that ive grown a bit, and ive seen what this world has become, i can only say that Paul Bunyan as a destruction being, being only defeated by somthing much more terrible as a destruction machine, represents mans greed and hungger for suicide.

How abominable is human stupidity!

Disney sucks!

[MonsterMadnessFan]

You know what dude, shut up,you can say what you want, but your opinion says only one thing, how closed your mind is...

[GCB1982]

are you fucking serious? this is a cartoon....look whats shown on tv these days? reality shows featuring homosexual couples, feminine acting men, masculine women, etc....thats whats really abominable my friend.

[gojirasox]

well honestly during the login days when stories like paul bunyan first appeared it wasnt so much of lets chop down the world it was take what you need....the toon just doesnt really show it plus its a tall tale so a guy cutting down 8 states worth of forest was cool back then...but i do agree to some point we shouldnt take so much just what we need

[Concetta20]

He's totally unfazed by the giant yelling at him.

[jontibloom]

Paul Bunyan = Eco Terrorist !

[GCB1982]

yes save the trees. homosexuality, and abortions are ok though.

[GCB1982]

where do you assholes come from?

[walkinthefloor]

the song reminds me of old yeller.

[crazybat07]

This cartoon really brings back memories. And i'd still prefer Paul Bunyan over any chainsaw.

[daranged6]

na he would chop king kong to bits.

[Liiy9]

this show is like John Henry wen John vs the train and good video

[WorldsHeaviestMan]

Yeah, they definitely tacked a bit of John Henry onto the Paul Bunyan story.

[gunnaknow]

I remember watching this 20 years ago when I was a kid! Thanks!

[ngokcek]

As Cool2BCeltic said:

"Hey, it's only a cartoon you know."

[David235]

a little guy can't move that fast, plus chain saws don't cut that fast

and the ox would be better because he can move over rough terrain without stupid railroad, like mountainns and stuff

[oldmill86]

no wonder we have a hole in the ozone layer

[SDWalden]

I like how that tiny bowler hat man isn't surprised in the least about his demonstration being interrupted by an angry axe-wielding giant

[BigOldJimmy]

I love how Disney throws a bone to American inventors and manufacturers.

[margo9585]

grrrr i still think its dumb that the dummy with the macine won by and quarter inch...juss cuz one of the loggs was just a bit bigger -_-

[skrag1]

Isn't that Thurl Ravenscroft, voice of Tony the Tiger doing the voice of Paul?

[literarybren]

Yeah, it's Thurl. He's so awesome! Also sings the Grinch song and is in a few rides at Disneyland.
