Audience Member Hard to believe it’s been 75 years since this cartoon aired Loved having this on vhs growing up Took me forever to realize it was based on a book The late Bing Crosby sings and narrates this adaptation of the same story by Washington Irving in the 1700s focusing on a man named Icabod Crane whom has come to Sleepy Hollow as the new schoolteacher and tries to win Katrina’s heart What Icabod doesn’t know though is the legend of the Headless Horseman during a party, they say if he chases you you can’t escape and one throw from his pumpkin head you’re dead Is the legend true or just a ghost story? It’s funny the Halloween portion doesn’t happen until the very end But it’s worth the wait and is the most satisfying of this half hour special Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Adam P I've always loved this story so much. The idea of headless man on a horse trying to cut yours off and see if it would work for him has just always been terrifying to me. Of course this cartoon is about the tamest version of the story that you can get. But I still found it very scary as a child, and that spurred a love for it that has lasted to this day. 8.75/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The most faithful version you will get but I still love the Tim Burton one the most. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/02/22 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies by disney, it has all the charm of the classic animated films without the cheese of the new ones, im 32 years old and have watched this one with my family every year around halloween since i can remember. Even as a teen who was to cool for school and did little with my family i still made time to come home and watch this one with dad and my sisters now that were grown i hope to continue the tradition with our kids. No matter how many times iv seen it i still laugh throughout. Simply put a brilliant take on a american classic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Disney Classic animation, funny, cute and musical. Great for all ages young and old. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very fun animation double, one of which inspired the ride at Disneyland. This is an awesome Disney classic and fun to watch with the family! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
