The Adventures of Mr. Toad and Ichabod Crain is a Halloween classic. It wouldn't be Halloween without getting to watch this movie. I highly recommend it to children and families alike.

  The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Review created: 10/02/06

The eleventh animated presentation from Disney is actually two classics; The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The first, introduced by Basil Rathbone, is about the misadventures of Mr. Toad with his friends, Mole, Rat and Angus Mac Badger trying again and again to rescue him from trouble. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is wonderfully narrated by Bing Crosby, where we have a newly arrived teacher, Ichabod Crane, who just happens to be a bit superstitious. The town bully, Brom Bones, takes advantage of that to get even for Ichabod's advances on his girl friend, Katrina Van Tassel.
This is a wonderful pair of stories from Disney and is on par with many of their fantastic animated classics. Children of any age can relate to Mr.
Toad and the loyalty of his friends. The Legend is very good but, the climax with the headless horseman may be a bit scary for the really young in the family. Modern animation features even from Disney today can't compare to the quality of these pictures produced in the 1950's.
There are some nice bonus features also. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow DVD Storybook", you can have the story read for you or, you can read it yourself. Then there is "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", where you answer questions in order to proceed along this highway. The kids will like this feature. Next, there is "The Merrily Song" sing-a-long, and last, "Lonesome Ghosts", which is a very good cartoon with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
All and all, this dvd could easily be a family tradition for Halloween for years to come.

  Two Excellent Tales with Bing Crosby and Basil Rathbone
Review created: 10/01/06

These two animated classics have been among my favorites since I was very young and used to watch them on the Disney channel. A few years ago, when I found out this DVD had been released, I quickly bought it.

You can't beat these two masterpieces for three key reasons. First, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Wind in the Willows are two great stories which can entertain people of all generations. Second, Disney animation is the tops, with rich colors, fluid character movements, and memorable characters. Third, these cartoons are narrated by two unmatched talents, Basil Rathbone and the best singer in the history of popular music, Bing Crosby, whose voice is melodic whether he's speaking or crooning.

Kids, parents, and grandparents will love The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

  A Classic

This is truly a classic. The story of Ichabod is well-done, with Bing Crosby's creamy rich voice and disney amusing illustrations making it just scary enough to be entertaining, without blood and gore and things children and young people do not need to be subject to. Mr. Toad is hilarious, with wonderful voice overs. It really brings these beloved characters to life. My sons have LOVED this videos for years and they never tire of them.

  Adventures worth taking
Review created: 02/10/03

Pros:
delightful stories, exciting animation, Basil Rathbone's narration

Cons:
Bing Crosby's "I'm-so-cool" voice-over grates after a while.

Our adventures begin when the camera takes us in for a close-up look at a glowing piece of stained glass. In its center is the image of a book. After elevating reading to the level of the divine subjects that one more often sees in stained glass, the camera glides through the stained glass into the library on the other side. It pans past books about Robin Hood, King Arthur and others before it rests on The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Basil Rathbone explains that while other fictional beings are interesting, his favorite character in make-believe is Thaddeus J. Toad, the...

  Not the freshest or shiniest of Disney's package features
Review created: 08/10/05
by: lazario -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Excellent Bing Crosby narration, still really spooky after 55 years!

Cons:
Boring, pretty-bad first half, one really bad song, annoying characters

This is one of those rare Disney movies where there really isn't one character to like or root for. This works in the second half of the movie, with the second tale. But the first story is definitely the most obnoxious, grating thing Disney has ever committed to film. I'm not very familiar with The Wind in the Willows, and I can't imagine watching this first segment that anyone would want to see anymore of Mr. Toad. This story, and this character, might work in print and in the books, but in translating this character to film, they've put too much of the movie on a weak character. He has what.
