Hubby and I were just talking about this movie and how it would air around Halloween on the Disney Channel! So of course I had to post the deal!
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (Disney Gold Classic Collection) $9.96 & FREE Shipping on orders over $25. Normally $19.99!
This 1949 Disney feature has never been available on video in its
original form until now. The 68-minute film contains two shorts: The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The former is a lively version of Kenneth Grahame's book of animal
adventures, including Mr. Toad, a rambunctious sort with a passion for
motorcars. Basil Rathbone narrates the story. Sleepy Hollow is
the Washington Irving story of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to
win the love of the fair Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many
fans will see a resemblance to Disney's masterpiece created some 40
years later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and story. The end is
still scary enough to send youngsters under the table. Bing Crosby
supplies the narration, character voices, and songs. The opening number
in a library including two stories has been included in this
good-looking restoration. The shorts were made in Disney's prime, a year
before Cinderella, and the look is wondrous. The exaggeration of Ichabod's skinny frame and his slumping horse is a glorious example.
