Where to find it:Streaming on Amazon Prime. They've completely mislabeled these on the website, so nope, that's not the John Henry episode I've linked you to.
What is it, in summary?: A version of the Johnny Appleseed legend that was a part of Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales and Legends series.
What do you love about it?: Do you want something in which a young Martin Short is incredibly adorable? Where he has what is basically enemies-to-friendship chemistry with Mac Macintosh, a farmer whose life (and the life of his innocent son!) he saves by teaching him how to farm apples? and they look at each other like this (click for larger images)?
And have a rivalry-to-friendship situation that resolves like this?
...Then this is the canon for you.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Mac/Johnny slash, but I'm going to nominate either Jenny Smith or Betty Nature as well.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: The movie's around 50 minutes, but you can zoom to the middle part involving Mac and Johnny at about midstream.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Made for kids, so this should be clean as a whistle.
