Part 2 of 2.

This short brings to life the tall tale of giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan and his large blue ox Babe. It presents Bunyan's shore-side discovery as a baby, his small town youth, his tree-cutting journeys out west, and his standoff with the diminutive Joe Muffaw with his steam-powered saw.

  • Man, I was just thinking about this one the other day. I hadn't seen it in 20 years yet I vividly remember the shot of the ox growling at the train as he passed by it. But what I remember most is thinking there was no way the chainsaw guy could possibly win, and then being all mad when I saw him "teleporting" from tree to tree. I was all like Annie Wilkes, like "What a bunch of cockamimie!"

  • The contest was fixed. Paul is strong enough to load us babe with all those logs, but that little wouldn't be able to even lift one end. I call shinanigans!!!!! Go Paul!!!

  • Thank you for share this! I live in Brazil and even here we used to see this magnificent cartoons from Disney. I recently talk to my son about that specific one! Awesome! Thank you so much! Marcelo

  • Well, the ending makes a pretty good point, people sell out to quick and easy technology and never feel the true reward of hard work.

  • Joe muffaw added steam in, cuz before the contest it took him like five minutes, and during it took like 2 seconds like paul. What a cheater

  • one of the first disney cartoons I can recall. saw it at the cinema when I was an infant. Enduring memory is that aerial shot of USA being denuded as Paul marches across the continent. Nowadays I find the notion of treefelling on such a scale quite disturbing. My other Disney fave is Motormania.

  • Boo Joe Muffaw! He's such a scumbag.

  • I used to love this when I was a kid. But I still can't believe that a guy with a hollywood mustache and a purple suit used a steam powered chain saw to cut down more than 240 feet of wood in one minute.

  • I remember watching this cartoon in the 2nd grade.

  • i love the anger and hostility in a kids cartoon. get the kids started early. i love this cartoon. thanks for sharing.

  • @UpchurchEric: Same guy. Thurl Ravenscroft (as Kirby Hoover, Paul Bunyan, Tony the Tiger, singer for The Grinch, & chief bust at the Mansion).
