Creepy
Kind of scary.
Jackolantern mood setting
My friend and I were preparing to carve pumpkins and stopped to consider what movie would be best to have on in the background. We needed something eerie but not overwhelmingly disturbing; we needed a DVD that would charm us into the spirit of Fall without scaring us. The Adventures of Ichabod Crane was an excellent choice to fit the bill.
This movie has a dual appeal for adults and kids. Kids can enjoy the caricature style of the animation as well as the wonderful story-telling voice of Bing Crosby. Those of us more advanced in age can focus on the plotline and can let the wonderful chill of the story settle into us.
If you examine the characters of Sleepy Hollow, there is not one virtuous person to be found. Ichabod, though undeserving of his fate, was a gluttonous, prideful, lustful, greedy newcomer to town. Brom Bones, his main adversary, lazes about town coursing with envy and wrath. The two pine for Katrina Van Tassel, the vain daughter of a wealthy local farmer. The three live in a town that is enchanted by their talents as well as their faults, creating an atmosphere that serves to intensify their already seething undercurrent of emotion. Watching this thirty minute animated story will leave you reflecting on human nature: was Washington Irving's tale a believable story? If so, how does this reflect on our personal experiences?
