The Rabbit Ears Productions, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is the age old tale of The Headless Horseman written by Washington Irving but told quite grippingly by Glenn Close (of 101 Dalmations fame). The music by Tim Story (Windham Hill Records) adds a hauntingly hypnotic touch to the marvelously illustrated scenery (by Robert Van Nutt). It's a "must have" for the young and the young at heart alike. I have looked a long time for this hard to find video all to no avail. Thanks to Amazon.com, it's part of my video library now.

This movie has been shown in my language arts class for the last few years and has renewed interest in both the story and Washington Irving. I highly recommend it

If you are a fan of The legend of Sleepy hollow Like I am. You will want to have this Adaptation in your collection. Rabbit Ears has done a Great job in adapting this version along with having Glenn Close narrating it. You and your Children will love this adaptation of the Short story by Washington Irving. Get it for yourself now!

I've had this film since it first came out. My parents got it for me and it was completely worthwhile. The artistry and music are amazing, and Glen Close narrating was great too. I still watch this every October, even though I'm much older now. It's completely timeless! And the perfect way to congratulate a child for reading the story first.

I am so glad I took a chance on this video. The illustrations alone are good enough reason to buy this. Glenn Close does a great narration. It is a very good rendition of the familiar story.

I remember years ago I would go to the library with my grandmother and pick out this video every october. I had not seen it since,but for some reason I suddenly remembered it and was searching for a long time. I could not describe the animation,only i remembered that it was like still pictures,but the camera made it look as if they were moving. Glenn Close reads this book extremely well. I have ordered this "book on video" and I cant wait to watch it.

We watch this video every year at Halloween. It is "just" a book turned into a film -- "just" imagine story time run by amazingly talented actors, artists and musicians instead of your local librarian (not to take anything away from your librarian!). Glenn Close is stupendous; the artwork is ingenious; the original music is wonderful.
