With the upbeat songs, John Henry is depicted as a large man wielding a steel hammer capable of producing the amount of strength equal to ten workers. Land was promised to the workers if they were able to complete the railroad passed the mountains before the sun sets. He happened to fall into a railroad track building project. I won’t criticize the entire piece because they did keep parts of the film accurate with the time period, but there are changes that were made to make it “Disney approved”.ĭisney’s ten minute short film, John Henry, is a tall tale about an African American man freed from slavery. During the process of creating this film, the crew visited the site in which the tale was born, Tolcott, West Virginia (Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Film Collections). After his finished production of Mulan, he wanted to bring the John Henry tale to life. The director, Mark Henn, said that the legend of John Henry was one of his favorite stories as a child. The Disney writers created a short animation film called John Henry (2000) and sprinkled their fairytale dust into the story.
I wanted to go through the list of films that were ruined because of its hidden truth.
Mulan very much so a hero in all versions of the story but was not unskilled in weaponry nor did she replace her father in the war against Mongolians (Scribe).
Ariel was not magically given human legs from her father she sold her soul to be with one who did not love her then died later on (Grimm’s Fairy Tales). They chopped off toes and spilled blood to marry this supposed Prince Charming. Cinderella’s step sisters didn’t just try on the glass slipper and accept the fact that they did not fit into it. The original stories take on a whole different persona with a dark twist/end. It’s disappointing to discover that Disney lied to these kids (including me), protecting them from the harsh truth. As a child, I grew up watching Cinderella (1950), The Little Mermaid (1989), Mulan (1998) and many more Disney movies thinking that all of these characters were made to live happily ever after.

Growing up in America, Disney becomes the central program that shares old stories in a way people in the current generation would enjoy, whether it is through TV shows on the channels or movies/films. This makes it easier for parents to allow their children to watch and absorb the information given about these characters. As more punches and kicks flew, other mob members circled the action on motorbikes, with one of them appearing poised to run the man over.ĭespite the caught-on-camera crime footage, police and corporate media reporting on the issue appear to be non-existent and it is still unclear exactly where the attack took place.Disney classics are known to put a fairytale ending into serious and sometimes gruesome stories.
Though the victim gave a brief chase on foot, he was quickly swarmed again by the mob and taken to the ground for another round of merciless beating. “They stole his car! They got his car!” a voice behind the camera recording the attack can be heard cheering, as the car is driven away down the street. Throughout the video, multiple individuals are seen delivering indiscriminate punches and kicks to the victim, as he tries and fails to get back into his own vehicle. It is unclear whether the man was physically removed from the vehicle or had exited on his own accord. The video, which was reportedly filmed in Michigan, shows the dozens-strong mob of black men mercilessly beating the white motorist, who was out of his car by the time the video started. Video footage captured a brutal mob attack shows dozens of black men beating a lone white man and stealing his car in broad daylight along a neighborhood street.
