I wonder why this was banned. I don't see any problem that catches attention. My only guess is the whole superstition and Crane's imaginary daydream about Katrina.
@taurusgirl65 Maybe the machete was thought to be inappropriately/excessively violent and scary for children. I know this scene bothered me a lot as a child when this film was shown in school.
I watched this when i was a kid but i wanted to see again because nostalgia critic said the hero was a jerk and i wanted to confirm this... he was right...
NC was right: Ichabod is actually kind of a dick when you think about it. look for example at how he decides to eat dinner at that boy's house instead of punishing him, so that he would look forgiving and get a free meal at the same time. or how he really only thinks of the girl as a key to get all of her fortune. he truly is one of those people who is very intelligent and knows how to play a situation so it works out to his advantage while still looking innocent and pure. hes an evil genious!XD
@PrpleChan5 I used to think the same thing about this movie, but it's really not so cut-and-dry. Brom is actually not that bad of a guy. He's a prankster and immature, sure, but he seems pretty chummy with everyone in the town. He does intimidate the other single males into leaving Katrina alone, but that's really just the "alpha male" mentality. It also didn't seem like Katrina cared for Ichabod anyway, other than to make Brom jealous. As for why she did this, it's still pretty unclear.
Thank you, for posting this! This cartoon scared me as a kid. I first watched this on The Wonderful World of Disney (on the NBC network in the early 1960s). Where I grew up, there were trees growing over the rural roads in the hollows. In autumn, it looked even creepier. Disney certainly knew how to serve up the scaries! This is one of my favorite animated stories. Bing Crosby's voice and singing were great!
One of the most iconic images in Disney history or Halloween cartoons right here 5:02 the flaming pumpkin! Excellent , one of the most memorable parts of the movie.
When I was little I used to hate how the narrator would say "man I'm gettin out of here" at the end. It just freaked me out especially after seeing all that headless hourseman stuff
I remember watching this at 20:30pm in my house as 10 year old kid.Nothing scared me more than this as a child.Specially those graves with the spider webs and the fog covering the area.You have to eb insane to travel home thro that forest at those hours.
You know that laugh of the Headless Horsemen remind me of a other movie. I just can't put my finger on it yet, but when I get the moive, I'll tell you. Maybe.
It was really funny to me, I laugh at the way they did the Headless Horsemen chase. Also it was really funny the way Icabin was really scared of the Headless Horsemen laugh. You got to love that evil laugh. It make that scene scary.
The only disney movie that can actually be considered scary is The Black Cauldron which almost caused Disney to go bankrupt due it's poor reception, when in reality it is probably one of the best disney movies made. I would bet that is the reason they never went after the horror market. Which really is to bad, I would have loved to see all of the sequels of The Black Cauldron.
Thankyou for uploading this! I remember this from my childhood, also Disney's The Power of Love song shown every Valentine's, The Song of the South (banned for racism) and Punch & Judy, banned for violence. Give me a break! It really annoys me, especially when the society we live in is now more violent then ever before. I say, bring back the classics!
so eventually the horseman turned back into prince charming which is icabot and then obviosuly he became the real bran bones becoz the actual bran bones was just a prick when icabot was really the nice man in life that only ment well for everone else and could of proberly made a better way of living for eveyone else thats why he had to make them see fear to understand the real beauty in thier lives. So the moral of the story is. icabot needed to perform cosmetic surgery on his self
@TheWarnabruva I never thought of it like that. It is just smart story of what could happen to you if you dont open your eyes. Icabot believed in people a little too much. He should know that Brom has his eye on that girl, and he should have known that he is an obsticle in his attentions. He was also a very superstitious man which helped Brom in his criminal attention.
i reakon he turned into the headless horseman or made mates with him only to tell all the pricks in his village how they really had to be cuz they were only living in there own sins and they didn't relize it becoz he never done anything wrong it was just everyone else
Kind of ironic that this movie was banned, yet 'The Great Mouse Detective' which had use of alcohol, smoking, people getting eaten alive, kidnapped, plain killed, AND bar-harlots is still being sold pretty much in every place that sells kid's movies.
I LIKED this movie. Yeah, it scared me when I was little, but I LIKE scary movies and games today, in part because of this movie and the story it was based off of.
@mywolverineyohan watching these just makes me want disney to go back to the classic way of doing things and stories. I mean, the animation nowadays is incredible, but I do miss the 2D look because it showed how much effort and work went into everything they made. Really showed they had a passion for the film, alone.
1. This scared the hell out of me when I was little! Although it takes away a lot of the mystery element when Ichabord swings around the branch and lands behind the rider... XD
2. Even as a little girl, I never liked Katrina. I mean, she's designed like any animated girl little girls would usually like: Blonde, slender, beautiful, adored by pretty much everyone, and above all dressed in pink... XD However, this could never really disguise how she never seems to care about anyone but herself...
It's amazing how the climax in this movie is almost exaclty like in the book. The only difference is that the sattle didn't fall off, and it obviously adds humour because, well, it's a Disney movie.
Actually, the movie was called "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" and was released in October 1949. The two shorts were later split up and shown separately for years, including video releases. As far as I know, this short has *never* been banned. This movie was first released in its *original* form on VHS in 1999, and on DVD in 2000.
i am a girl and love to scare people at haunted attractions- had the honor of being the headless horseman and lord i wasn't getting paid enough.... a 14 yr girl came up to me and randomly started humping my leg... not aloud to break out of character or speak and one of the other actors was with me... the end i took off the outfit and we cracked up... if only that girl knew she humped another girl ;) (yes im straight btw just thought it was funny)
After knocking Ichabod unconscious by throwing the pumpkin at him (knocking his hat off as well, which is why the hat was found), Brom will have taken Ichabod somewhere secluded and killed him, and probably buried the body.
Superb horror! Think about what people thought about in Swift's time, the unknown frontier, the whole continent was a mystery! Truly the personification of the collective fear, and done with such a smooth soundtrack to get your guard down. Great job!
3. The pumpkin hitting Ichabod's brains out wasn't seen, but was probably blocked because of course, when the pumpkin makes contact with Ichabod's oddly shaped head, Ichabod's brains and eyes will go out his ear. It's been logically proved that would be how Ichabod's body would look like, if it was ever found.
Parents Magazine had a movie rating guide for films and would indicate which films were suitable for children. Mothers often used this to determine which films they wanted their kids to see. I'm sure that Legend of Sleepy Hollow would have had a few comments that it might terrify the smaller children, particularly the scenes with the Headless Horseman.
@CathObrien It's actually not banned. The guy who posted this video put that in to get more views. I own this movie on DVD and it is certainly not banned.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but this is actually the second half of the feature "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad," which was released in 1949, so it's a bit older than 1958.
@fivebearrugs for that, I think he just won't have been able to see Brom's hidden head because it was night time. In fact, IMO, this cartoon makes it even more obvious than the book that it was really Brom, with so many clues, including the horseman laughing, and using the very same sword that Brom had used at the party earlier, plus all the clues in the book.
Also, if he really was the spirit of a Hessian soldier, I would think he would be a rather better swordsman than this horseman was.
Good point. But, I was looking closely at the Horseman's sword and it looks to be a greater length than the one Brom was using at the party. Brom's looked like a huge Bowie, while the Horseman's looks almost like a cutlass.
@athull08 Yes, even when I was a kid watching this it looked logical to me that it was Brom. If it would be real "ghost" Brom wouldnt tell that story in party. Great cartoon!

Best part is the horses laugh. Gets me everytime. I love how the horse is at first just a horse, then he becomes quite the character.

I'm surprised this was adapted by Disney to be honest

It was Brom Bones. If you read the story you know this.

@MichaelPT91 True, but in the Disney version it's implied that the Horseman is a ghost, and so he and Brom are two different beings.

@fivebearrugs how does it imply that? I can't see anything to suggest it's not Brom.

@athull08 I figured in the scene in which Ichabod looks down into the Horseman's head, or where the head should be...
fivebearrugs 9 months ago
@fivebearrugs for that, I think he just won't have been able to see Brom's hidden head because it was night time. In fact, IMO, this cartoon makes it even more obvious than the book that it was really Brom, with so many clues, including the horseman laughing, and using the very same sword that Brom had used at the party earlier, plus all the clues in the book.
Also, if he really was the spirit of a Hessian soldier, I would think he would be a rather better swordsman than this horseman was.

@athull08
Good point. But, I was looking closely at the Horseman's sword and it looks to be a greater length than the one Brom was using at the party. Brom's looked like a huge Bowie, while the Horseman's looks almost like a cutlass.

@Alcairo02 I'm pretty sure it's meant to be the same sword, and I'm still absolutely sure the horseman was Brom.
athull08 8 months ago
@Alcairo02 p.s In the book, the horseman was unquestionably Brom.
athull08 8 months ago
@athull08 Yes, even when I was a kid watching this it looked logical to me that it was Brom. If it would be real "ghost" Brom wouldnt tell that story in party. Great cartoon!

@athull08 a much better swordsman to have been a Hessian soldier!

@sherlockzorro101 well, of course, he's not meant to realise it, but the reader, or viewer, is.

Thumbs up if you highly suspect the horseman was Brom Bones in disguise.
