5.0 out of 5 stars Sing it again Bing, March 18, 2002

This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney Mini Classics) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"The Old Crooner" himself, Bing Crosby, narrates and sings this cartoon classic based on Washington Irving's All Hallow's Eve tale. Extremely exomorphic educator Ichabod Crane is competing against Brom Bones ( an ancestor to Gaston in Beauty and the Beast?) for Katrina, the wealthy farmer's daughter. So is it Brom or the Legendary Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow pursuing Ichabod through the perilous forest?

Disney set the high standard in animation. Here, the initial and moonlit views of Old Baltus van Tassel's farm and the woods are reminiscent of Van Gogh's Starry Night. This is a must-have Disney Classic.

This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney Mini Classics) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This classic cartoon features the voice of Bing Crosby in Washington Irving's tale of the schoolmaster who loved the fair Katrina, but also believed in spooks! Children over age 7 will love to be scared by this funny Halloween tale...but keep the lights on! 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Halloween Tape, June 8, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney Mini Classics) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my favorite video, I love it! I watch it over and over- not just at Halloween. A lot of the narration is quoted from the book. I love everything about it: the story, the characters, the animation... It's a great video for people of all ages.
