In the fantastic tradition of SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS and CINDERELLA, Disney’s 11th animated masterpiece, THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD, introduced two literary classics to the screen. Through award-winning Disney-animated wizardry, these unforgettable children’s tales come collectively as one fabulous adventure. THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS follows the wild ride of J. Thaddeus Toad, squire of Toad Hall. Smitten with motorcars, the wealthy and reckless sportsman soon drives his accurate friends Mole, Rat, and Angus MacBadger into a worried frenzy! Then meet Ichabod Crane, the spindly schoolteacher who dreams of sweeping the lovely Katrina off her feet — until Brom Bones, the town bully, gets involved. Their comic rivalry introduces Ichabod to THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, the fabled Headless Horseman, and a hair-raising, heart-thumping climax. Narrated by legendary stars Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby, THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD is brimming with high-spirited adventure, brilliant vigor, and captivating music — now available for the first time in keeping with Walt’s original theatrical vision.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 tale. Sleepy Hollow is the Washington Irving tale of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to win the like of the honest Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many fans will see a resemblance to Disney’s masterpiece made some 40 being later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and tale. 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 tales has been included in this excellent-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
