Toons After Dark: The Legend of Paul Bunyan (Festival of Family Classics, 1973)

The tales of Paul Bunyan have been adapted into animated form on a few occasions, including a theatrical short released by Disney.

In 1973, Rankin-Bass took their swing with an episode of Festival of Family Classics. Flashbacks explain how Paul shut down bullying lumber boss Panhandle Pete.......



The audio's a bit out of sync, which isn't surprising.

Rating: B.

Ever heard of Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan? It's a 2013 horror film based on the character.
