Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
The film is about Mr. Toad, the Squire of Toad Hall, whose love for vehicles was insatiable. His friends, Rat, Mole, and MacBadger, try to help him when his mania leads to the loss of the deed to Toad Hall and a charge of car theft. Toad is thrown in jail, but on escaping, he learns Winkie, the tavernkeeper, and the weasels have taken over Toad Hall. Toad redeems his good name with his friends by recovering the deed to the estate and promises to reform until he eyes a 1908 biplane. In the library, Ichabod Crane, a new schoolteacher, arrives in Sleepy Hollow and captures every lady’s heart except for Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of a wealthy farmer. Ichabod has his eye on the Van Tassel wealth, but his attempts to woo Katrina disturb her bold suitor, Brom Bones, who tries to scare Ichabod away with the tale of the Headless Horseman. As Ichabod rides home that Halloween evening, he encounters the terrifying phantom and is mysteriously missing the next morning. While the townspeople spread rumors of Ichabod’s whereabouts, Katrina weds Brom. Released October 5, 1949.
