"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 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!

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.

Usually I don't care for Disney Flicks but this one I fell in love with! Even though educational it was very funny! The whole family loved it! It is espeacially good during the season of fall! I would recommend it to anyone!!!

a disney classic suitible for both adults and children.The fables centerpiece is ichabod(voiced by Bing Crosby)whose surreal air binds the cartoon.His frame and persona are both vintage disney.The final 10 minuets are still unserpassed for atmospheric quality as the haunting tunes ebb further into the dark night sky.A sadly under-publisised masterpiece.They don't make 'em like this anymore!!!!

Disney is so obsessed with Hannah Montana and High School Musical, they're forgetting about us "Boomers" who grew up on "The Wonderful World of Disney". A Halloween classic like "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" should not be cast aside. I want to show it to my grandchildren and it's nowhere to be found! This classic version narrated by Bing Crosby never goes out of style. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

My family has watched this show for 20 years! Fall isn't Fall without watching it and we laugh like we've never seen it before. The expressions on the characters' faces are especially perfect.

This is a must own for anyone wanting to celebrate the fall season. The perfect cartoon to curl up and watch with your children on a dark and spooky night. Bing Crosby is perfect as the narrator of the show and it has that classic Disney feel that was lost long ago. Grab some hot apple cider, get the fire roaring and flip this one for magical evening with the family.

I have loved this cartoon since I was a child and just had to have it for my "Grandkids"! It is funny, yet, scary and I will play it again and again when Halloween comes around! A Classic!

Item was $40.00 VHS tape with attached book...only one available. When received the book had been ripped off. Didn't want the book to begin with but no other choice. It was a gift so not happy about appearance or rip off.
