Walt Disney's 11th animated feature includes two classic stories: "The Wind in the Willows," narrated by Basil Rathbone, is based on the story by Kenneth Grahame, in which Mr. Toad's love of motorcars gets him and his friends in trouble with a gang of devious rats. Following this tale is "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," narrated by Bing Crosby. Based on the story by Washington Irving, nervous schoolteacher Ichabod Crane falls in love with the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel but has trouble with rival Brom Bones, and a certain headless horseman. The Gold Collection Edition features a special bonus ghostly cartoon. [More]

Mr. Disney, abetted by his staff, such perfect narrators as Bing Crosby and Basil Rathbone, and a pair of durable literary works, has fashioned a conclave of cartoon creatures, which... have the winsome qualities and charm of Mickey Mouse, Dumbo, et al.
