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 story. Sleepy Hollow is the Washington Irving story of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to win the love of the fair Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many fans will see a resemblance to Disney's masterpiece created some 40 years later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and story. 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 stories has been included in this good-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

 Great Disney Classic November 19, 2009
Robert W. Smiley
This is a wonderful Disney classic for all ages. You can't go wrong with vintage Disney animation, especially narrated by Mr. Bing Crosby!
Perfect Halloween Nostalgia November 8, 2009
Eli J. Gionet
One of the best movies to watch during the Halloween season. And the Wind in the Willows thrown in with a classic Mickey Mouse Cartoon which undoubtly has been lost to time, and you have a nice little DVD here.
Love these old Disney shows November 1, 2009
Rebecca D. Reynolds (Camisano, Italy)
This is a great disc with two classic Disney cartoons: Mr. Toad and Sleepy Hollow. It's hard to catch these on tv anymore and it's a shame that some of today's kids don't even know that they exist. You also get a bonus episode of The Lonesome Ghosts on the bonus features. Definitely a must have for a Disney collection.

I grew up watching these, and wanted to share them with my kids. They LOVE them and we have watched Ichabod so many times this October. I forgot how funny Mr. Toad is too!
