Ichabod and
Mr. Toad
|
"Ichabod
and Mr. Toad" is an animated film produced by Walt Disney. It contains two
stories in one film: the story of Ichabod Crane, from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
by Washington Irving, and the story of Mr. Toad, from The Wind in the Willows by
Kenneth Grahame. Bing Crosby narrates and sings in the story of Ichabod in the second half
of the film. The first half of the film has Basil Rathbone narrating the story of Mr. Toad
and his friends Mole, Rat and Badger (Angus MacBadger, as Disney has named him). 
Those who love the book The
Wind in the Willows may find Disney's cartoon "Mr. Toad" a disappointment.
Disney took some poetic license with the story, changing details, but I think the
characters have the same personalities as in the book: loyal Mole, resourceful,
good-natured Rat, stern, wise, and caring Badger, and foolish, exasperating Toad.
