Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Disney animated classic Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad, a package film of The Wind and the Willows and Legend of Sleepy Hollow, released in theaters on Oct 5, 1949.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a spooky whimisical take on Washington Irving’s classic story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, featuring narration and songs by the legendary Bing Crosby, the first and only time the singer worked with The Walt Disney Company.




In 1999, Tim Burton would direct his own version of the tale into a dark gothic horror fantasy, Sleepy Hollow staring Johnny Depp and Christine Ricci, which grossed $207 million at the box office.



Both films are two of my faves, but I just can’t decide which is better. Help me out!
