Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile the characters are fictional, the place names and landmarks depicted in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820) are mostly factual. The "Tarry Town" of the short story is the village of Tarrytown in Westchester County, New York. It was founded by Dutch settlers in the 17th century. It is located about 25 miles (40 km) north of midtown Manhattan in New York City. Some of the other landmarks are located in the nearby village of North Tarrytown, which was long nicknamed Sleepy Hollow and was officially renamed to this name in 1996. Washington Irving himself was buried in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Featured review
J. Thaddeus Toad and Old Icky
I guess you describe this Walt Disney classic as a cartoon/cartoon. Two separate stories done to fill out one barely over an hour film. After 63 years it still has enough magic to entertain.
Why Disney reversed the order of The Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad I've not figured out since the Mr. Toad story comes first. Basil Rathbone narrates this part and Eric Blore is delightful as that rascally scamp J. Thaddeus Toad who has the finest estate on riverbank. But he's a spendthrift and really needs a keeper. Which his friends the badger, the rabbit and the mole supply.
Blore reached back to his own career in interpreting Toad and I think Disney and his staff of animators must have seen him in The Road To Zanzibar and his character of Bates the valet to The Lone Wolf in that series. In Zanzibar Blore has a brief but memorable part as an eccentric millionaire who sells Crosby and Hope and diamond mine, but he's also the family idiot and he has no mines to sell or rights to sell them. And seeing how his Toad character escapes from the law reminds me so much of Bates making fools of the law in helping Warren William outwit them.
Washington Irving's Legend Of Sleepy Hollow is the basis for Ichabod and Bing Crosby narrates and sings with Jud Conlon's Rhythmaires backing him up and occasionally providing a voice. Ichabod Crane the new schoolmaster is cutting in on Brom Bones and his wooing of the richest girl in town Katrina Von Tassel. We all know how Brom Bones got Ichabod out of town on a stormy Halloween night, but you have to see the fine animation that Disney did for this film to really appreciate it.
Bing gets three songs to sing in this film, Ichabod Crane, Katrina, and The Headless Horseman. The last is really memorable and a great song for kids of all ages on a Halloween night.
Remember folks, you can't reason with a headless man.
