Review of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) by Ashley H — 07 Mar 2007
Excellent feature comprising of 2 half-hour segments. The animation is first rate, particularly on Ichabod's journey home through the woods, which is highlight of the film. The quality of the direction and storytelling is excellent, and though both are quite short, they are remarkably concise and fully formed, and actually feel like they are both feature length.
They are both highly atmospheric, and characterisations are top-notch. There are some aspects of the film which have dated it somewhat, but you get past that soon enough. This film is also notable for it's fine use of color.
Anyone with an interest in animation should see this film.
