Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great film. It is based on one of the best ghost stories ever. It is a great film. It is well acted. It is well written. The animation is great. The music is great. It is a fun and very spooky film. It the story of Icabod Crane and how he ends up in a hunted woods one night and runs into The headless horseman a very scary ghost. This classic family film is a must see. One of the best family movies of all time. One of the best animated film of all time. This is a very fun movie to watch at Halloween. Or any time you are in a spooky mood. Bing Crosby was a great actor. This movie is a must see. Boris Karloff was a great actor. A truly great fantasy film.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is the 65-year-old Disney approach to the famous tale, which was obviously done long before Tim Burton got his hands on the material. And it is a success, I believe, because several components were competently done and this resulted in a pretty good overall outcome. First of all, the animation is nice and it is a half-hour cartoon which is truly atmospheric. Secondly, Bing Crosby's narration worked from start to finish adding the right mixture of drama and comedy to the scenes we see. And most of all: The school teacher. Now, he is a pretty memorable character and it almost makes me sad to see that the other guy got the girl in the end because I felt that the one who wins was so colorless and forgettable really. Some time later this half hour was picked, mixed together with another relative long short film and so they had a feature film out of this. It even won a Golden Globe and that makes up for the short film from 1949 running empty on the awards front. Anyway, that's how it goes I guess. I had a good time watching this and I recommend it. Of course this should not come as a surprise as this half hour was directed by the makers of "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "Alice in Wonderland", "Dumbo", "Pinocchio" etc. So from that perspective, it's more of a surprise that this did not turn out even better. But let's not be greedy here. Give it a watch.
james billings as anyone who's seen this little gem what a fun and scary (in a little persons way) short little movie this is,with Mr crosby shining all the way!!my little girl love it and always watches on a dull rainy day!!!now our little lad can have some fun with it as well,all colors and music to sooth on on a rainy bedtime!!just get nice and snuggly with the light down low and watch as yourself and kiddies whoop with delight!!!!if only someone could do the story justice these days!!i loved the Tim Burton one and it deserves a place as a well done movie done Burton style!!!go on go buy a copy and make sure you get a nice big pumpkin to boot!!!!!
shasel There are so many great Halloween specials out there that never get aired anymore. This is one of my favorites. The mood Disney created scared the pants off of me when I was little, but I still had to watch. Bing Crosby's voice is almost hypnotic in this cartoon! The music is superb, like in many Disney films. What surprised me was that my mother had a 45 of "Midnight Jamboree", I believe that is what the song was called at the party. Wish she still had it! Anyway, I was able to record this about 10 years ago, and I have to watch it every year. This time around, I get to introduce it to my 13-month-old. Hope he doesn't get scared! He'll love the music, though, just as his mommy and grandma do!
