Synopsis
Animated adaptations about two legendary folk heroes. "The Legend of Paul Bunyon" relates the adventures of the mighty logger, a man who, as legend has it, could stand in Illinois and cast a shadow all the way across Missouri to Kansas. "The Legend of John Henry" is the story of the greatest steel-driving man of all time.
