The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

"Ichabod, what a name,
Kind of odd, but nice just the same"

My first introduction to Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was the cartoon with Ichabod Crane reading, eating a pie, and walking all at the same time. To make this even better -- and more memorable -- are the songs performed by the great Bing Crosby. The lyrics above are from "Ichabod" and I often find myself singing this song for no reason at all.

The point of this reverie is TCM is airing The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad tonight at 7:45. If you like a little light Halloween fun, this cartoon version of the classic tale is for you.
