The first segment is about the toad from The Wind In The Willows and how he is always getting into trouble because of his fascination with things and his love for adventure. He becomes obsessed with a car and ends up trading his house to the car, only to then get busted for stealing it. The second story is from Washington Irvings "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" and one of its characters, one Ichabod Crane. Ichabod is a school teacher who comes to town and gets obsessed with the prettiest girl in town, and all of the people love her. Soon he comes face to face with the headless horseman and his adventures in this town are soon over.
So during the war Disney was lacking funds and did a lot of these mix ups with short stories adding them together to make a full length film out of it. These two stories have been done to death and Disney brought nothing new to the table. It was rather boring and hard to set through for me. In fact I hated it.
The animation was okay and the narrators Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby did okay. There was way too much music that is very dated and I think only a select type of kid could enjoy this film.
I liked the headless horseman bit near the end of the film, and it was the only thing worth watching it for, and even that didn't carry the film...someone may enjoy, but not I...
