TIME Magazine An uneven doubleheader by Walt Disney, who has combined into one film two dissimilar literary classics. Nov 16, 2009 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Engaging and lively. Nov 3, 2009 Full Review A.H. Weiler 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 Oct 31, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews It’s clear, ultimately, that it’s the Mr. Toad portion of the proceedings that fares best... Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 10, 2025 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn 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. Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie 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 Aug 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Luke R. A movie with a double sided story, not my kind of film. Mr. Toad is a complete fool, and Ichabod’s death was depressing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 8 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Juju S 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Kauã L *"The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" Review* "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" is a classic Disney animated film that combines two distinct stories: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Kalissa H 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Benji C Good movie. Thank you Walt Disney! My favourite character is Ichabod Crane. my least favourite character is Mr.Toad. My favourite part is when Ichabod is alone in the woods at night and his imagination plays tricks on him. My least favourite part is when they all sing to Ichabod that he is a scaredy-cat. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
