Description
Disney celebrates the legends that inspired a country with classic stories of real American heroes in this all-new, full-length animated collection, DISNEY'S AMERICAN LEGENDS! You'll meet the doers and dreamers who made America great -- including John Henry, the railroad builder, who proved the value of believing in oneself. John Henry was created using rough-style animation over a scratchboard background, a technique that dates back to Disney's 101 DALMATIANS! This artistic style was chosen specifically by the director in order to convey the power and emotion of the story. Journey with the giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan as he clears the land for American settlers. Follow the trail of the beloved American icon Johnny Appleseed, whose peaceful planting of apple trees blossomed along the new frontier. Then take an unforgettable ride with Casey Jones, The Brave Engineer, who never failed to deliver the mail, no matter how difficult the route! Each story is introduced by celebrated actor James Earl Jones, and filled with unforgettable characters, adventure, and memorable songs. Gather the family together and enjoy these timeless tales ... an experience no childhood should be without!

«American Legends»
I'm a kindergarten teacher and this is a great video to suppliment a k-1 unit on any of these famous characters from American legend. Short, easy to follow, beautifully animated. With introductions by James Earl Jones, it's a wonderful video to own.

«Music teaching lead-in to heroes songs....»
As a Music Teacher, I do NOT like to show videos or DVD's. It is a waste of instructional time. When I am ill, a
substitute, who is not certified in Music is assigned to my classes. This VHS tope allowed me to come back
and teach a "Heroes and Legends" unit. I have a wonderful choral selection about Johnny Appleseed, and this
film sparked the children's interest. James Earl Jones is a formidable, repectable teacher and a role model for
children, also. I hope the DVD does not disappoint me. My last substitute said "the VCR ate up my tape!"

Just a quick review on my recent American Legends dvd purchased from Amazon. One word.. Fantastic. Amazon has to be my all time favorite place to shop. Whatever I purchase is always quickly delivered, in perfect condition, with no problems ever.. American Legends is a fantastic dvd for children of all ages. Educational plus entertaining to one and all. If you've never seen it, order it. You won't be sorry you did.
