Editorial Reviews: 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

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Must Have for any Family Comment: When that first leaf falls off the tree. When you sense that smell of autumn in the air. When you anticipate the onset of the Halloween season, then this is the movie for your family. A Disney classic that all Disney lovers should own. Fun family viewing. Customer Rating: Summary: The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad Comment: My students enjoyed the tale of Ichabod Crane. It was an excellent end to our activities on Halloween. Customer Rating: Summary: Still A Classic Comment: 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.
