Johnny Corncob (Hungarian: János vitéz) is a 1973 Hungarian animated adventure film directed by Marcell Jankovics. It tells the story of a young man who goes on an adventure as a soldier, while longing to be reunited with the woman he loves. The film is based on the 1845 epic poem János Vitéz by Sándor Petőfi.
