Produced by Dave Adams and Nick Bosustow of "Bosustow Entertainment" in 1974. Some of their productions were often shown in theatres in the 60's and 70's, but this short film was released to video by Little Golden Books/Western Publishing in 1992. This film is a wonderful little combination of highly stylized limited animation and illustrations in a very unique art style. The story is narrated by John Carradine, rather than voicing individual characters, although you can hear the characters mumbling or laughing in the background. Has some very effective sound effects. The music is by Larry Wolfe, and while it is not period music as in some versions of this tale, it is good jaunty music indeed. Ichabod Crane is drawn with the longest leanest limbs ever, and he looks almost like a scarecrow at times. The animation character design reminds me of the stylized School House Rock cartoons. It often features single-color characters against colorful backgrounds with more drama and atmosphere. Directed by Sam Weiss who worked on the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show", and "Mr. Magoo". The animation was by Vincent Rassols and Tom Roth, based on the still illustrations by Bill Davis. The bold colors are very different from other animated versions of this story, and do their part to set the tone. The backgrounds and illustrations of the forest are very well done. It packs a lot of story into just 13 minutes. Creepy enough to be fun, while it will not terrify the kids either, and is perfect for a Halloween party. You probably know the basic story by Washington Irving. A timid school master named Ichabod Crane arrives to teach in an early American village of Dutch settlers. He falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy farmer, but she is also being courted by the mean Brom Bones. Brom knows that the schoolmasters weakness is scary ghost stories, and gets his chance for revenge at a party. Spooky tales at night seem to bring the most notorius ghost out for a visit to Ichabod from the headless horseman. User: kooolcat Nov 28, 2010 3:15 PM
