I could've done without seeing this one. Neither of the stories really interested me.

Well this is a trick one to watch.....
A person can criticize this film lightly. After all, the film is divided into two parts, both of which represent a period of change for Disney in its context. The stories are based on classic works of literature and develop a particular historiography. I particularly see this film as a curious way of studying cinema and animation. Its characteristics are very unique and represent an identity of that period. The lines and music show this in a very discreet way. However, I recommend thinking about how this film particularly influenced Steven Spielberg (the first part was clearly where he removed the Indiana Jones scene) and Tim Burton (mainly in the final scene of the second part). Therefore, it is clear that the film has aged poorly, but it has many good ideas taken here and its influence is gigantic, so it is up to everyone to see this film and express their opinions without being anachronistic about it.

I don't like the way movies were made in this age.

The first part is what I like the most; it's a simple story with some funny moments.

The second part was very good, but at the end, it's hard for me to understand what happened in the story.

“Everyone want’s Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.” The last of Disney’s package films, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad delivers two fantastical tales of adventure. Based on The Wind and the Willows, the first story follow an eccentric toad who’s wrongfully convicted of stealing a motor car, and must break out of prison in order to prove his innocent. And the second story, inspired by The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, follows a bookish school teacher named Ichabod Crane whose pursuit of a fair young lady leads to a showdown with a demonic Headless Horseman. Most of the effort seems to have been put into the Toad section, as its characters are more fleshed out, has better animation, and exciting action scenes. The Ichabod part however, is mostly narrated with voice-over, has very crude animation, and its story is paper-thin. Not one of Disney’s best efforts, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad is a very uneven, trying to merge two tonally and structurally different features.

The Wind and the Willows always bored me as a kid in the 80's. The Sleepy Hollow short is excellent however. It's right there for me next to Mickey and the Beanstalk.

Two stories: one good, one less so.

'The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad' is another Disney package film. It's probably one of the better ones to be fair, though still fails to truly entertain. The first story featuring Mr. Toad is fairly enjoyable, while the one with Ichabod starts off solidly but by its end I found myself less interested.

Bing Crosby and Basil Rathbone do well as narrators, while the animation is more than passable. Again, like 1948's 'So Dear to My Heart' from Disney, it's nothing to hate on but I wouldn't class it as anything other than average though.
