Critics Consensus

This Disney two-fer may not be the most reverent literary adaptation, but it's remarkably crafted and emotionally resonant.

TIME Magazine

An uneven doubleheader by Walt Disney, who has combined into one film two dissimilar literary classics.

New York Times

Mr. Disney, abetted by his staff, such perfect narrators as Bing Crosby and Basil Rathbone, and a pair of durable literary works, has fashioned a conclave of cartoon creatures, which... have the winsome qualities and charm of Mickey Mouse, Dumbo, et al.

Rated: 4/5

It’s clear, ultimately, that it’s the Mr. Toad portion of the proceedings that fares best...

It is quite possible that The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad is the worst Disney film to date. Absolutely worthless, the film is not even an empty experience but rather an actively harmful one.

Gone With The Twins

Just might be the definitive screen version of the classic literature, even though it's short, simple, and animated.

Rated: 7/10

i will only be talking about the 2nd half (the story of the legend of sleepy hollow) segment, possibly the most recognized side of this 2-story feature film from disney, and this is a great use of visual storytelling of this mixture of different genres from CHILDREN'S storybook narration, to romantic love-ish story, ending with a dark and incredible horror vibe with a fantastic comedic horror chase sequence between ichabod & the headless horseman. while fairly simple, it has really good songs and great character designs that keep everyone’s personality distinct, added with it’s usage of 2d animation that blends it’s contrasting colors wonderfully. it has a rather satisfyingly AMBIGUOUS ending that keeps you in the dark of what really happens. so check this out from disney (especially if you love their darker stories)...

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A movie with a double sided story, not my kind of film. Mr. Toad is a complete fool, and Ichabod’s death was depressing.

Le cavalier sans tête m'avait un peu traumatisé à l'époque, je pense que par conséquent je n'ai pas apprécié revoir ces deux moyens-métrages. Par contre la première séquence inspirée de la mare aux grenouilles m'a un peu plus plu.

Basil Rathbone’s narration is the best part of Mr. Toad. I could not sympathize with Toad. Bing Crosby’s singing is great in Ichabod.
