An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it is definitely one of Disney more obscure animated features, one of these Package films they released during WWII, before going back to some more prestigious work like 'Cinderella'. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. Concerning the animation, some characters looked fine but most of it felt rather cheap. Above all, these two stories might have worked as short movies but they really pushed the running time by adding some rather tedious bits. I was above all surprised by what they did with 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Indeed, from a classic Gothic tale, they turned it into some rather bewildering  vintage romantic-comedy during which Icabod Crane basically chases some girl not because he actually loves her but because she is rich. At least, the Headless Horseman, still considered as one of the scariest villains ever displayed in a Disney animated feature, was pretty awesome but he came just so late, during the last 2 mins, and, as a result, he felt more like an afterthought which didn't have much to do with the rest of the story. Anyway, to conclude, I think I was rather generous with my rating here but I think it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
