At-A-Glance Film Reviews

Two excellent stories comprise this Disney animated feature. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, amiably narrated by Bing Crosby, tells the spooky story of Ichabod Crane. The Wind In the Willows, even better, adapts Kenneth Grahame's book of the same name with ...read the complete Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews

New York Times (--)

As a craftsman who had strayed slightly from his chosen field, Walt Disney is to be congratulated on his return to the realm of pure animation in "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad," which arrived at the Mayfair on Saturday. For in this, his latest ...read the complete Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad movie review at New York Times (--)

The gimmick with this one is that you've got two cartoons being narrated by old, dead, famous guys (Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby), one from a book over in Britain and the other from the "colonies" as Bing calls the good ole U.S. of A.

The Wind in the Willows adaptation has a gag-a-shot ...read the complete Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad movie review at Time Out (--)

Alex in Wonderland (--)

This one stirs up a bunch of childhood memories, and the chilling climax of "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" is forever burned into my psyche.

Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review

A terrific picture transfer makes the Disney cartoon quite appealing. The colors are vivid, and except for a stray sequence here and there that contains a few speckles, the source material is spotless. The monaural sound is also in good shape. A ...read the complete Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad movie review at Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review

Jon Turner

Don't be fooled by the title. This was originally supposed to have been called Two Fabulous Characters, but Walt probably thought the name would be a disgrace. The Adventures Of Ichabod & Mr. Toad is two famous stories given the typical Disney ...read the complete Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad movie review at Jon Turner

His manias define his character, and it is his latest fancy -- the automobile -- that puts him on trial; Toad is accused of stealing a car.
