Product Description
Two animated adaptions of the legend of sleepy hollow and the wind in the willows Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 03/02/2004 Starring: Bing Crosby Basil Rathbone Run time: 68 minutes Rating: G Director: James Algar
Amazon.com
This 1949 Disney feature has never been available on video in its original form until now. The 68-minute film contains two shorts: The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The former is a lively version of Kenneth Grahame's book of animal adventures, including Mr. Toad, a rambunctious sort with a passion for motorcars. Basil Rathbone narrates the story. Sleepy Hollow is the Washington Irving story of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to win the love of the fair Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many fans will see a resemblance to Disney's masterpiece created some 40 years later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and story. The end is still scary enough to send youngsters under the table. Bing Crosby supplies the narration, character voices, and songs. The opening number in a library including two stories has been included in this good-looking restoration. The shorts were made in Disney's prime, a year before Cinderella, and the look is wondrous. The exaggeration of Ichabod's skinny frame and his slumping horse is a glorious example. --Doug Thomas

 Still A Classic November 16, 2008
Michael S. Collins (Knoxville TN)
This timeless classic is still fun to watch.I remember it from when I was little.I hope now my daughter will get to say the same thing,cause I'm gonna watch it with her time and time again.Ichabod cracks me up on the last few minutes of the movie when he's being chased by the Headless Horseman.That scene makes it worth watching.The Mr. Toad cartoon is pretty good too.I had never saw it growing up,but yeah it was pretty good.I'm a sucker for the good old classic Disney Movies like this one.The animation is still awesome ,even compared to today's cartoons.I prefer this to the new computer generated junk.I wish they would only do a remake of Sleepy Hollow though,and make it a longer movie.

Family Favorite November 4, 2008
Pat Taylor (Payson, Utah United States)
I've always loved this version of the story of Ichabod Crane. Fun for the family to watch together, and not too "scary" for the little ones. Perfect addition to the family library.
Outstanding Classic For All October 24, 2008
Dominic (pa usa)
Remembering this from when I was a kid on Halloween before we got all these weired new shows. Children of all ages can enjoy this Classic.
A Halloween Favorite from Childhood October 21, 2008
R. Cordova (Chula Vista, CA USA)
This is one of the truly classic Disney cartoons. I watched this when I was young and even had the 45 record with the music from "Ichabod". The animation is great. Although I love both stories, "Ichabod" or the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is my favorite of the two. Both my kids grew up watching it and I just bought a copy for my niece who's just 7. It may be a little scary for very young kids but it should be fine for kids 5 & over. More importantly, there are laugh out loud portions of the movie that still get me, and yes, my grown kids and I make a point of watching it every year at Halloween!
