Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been around
for over 200 years and while almost everyone is somewhat familiar with the
story, they also probably imagine the incarnation from Disney's 1949
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad with his flaming pumpkin
head.
But this was not the first animated appearance of the infamous ghost. In 1934,
Ub Iwerks created an animated short film called The Headless Horseman.
Iwerks also worked on the Disney shorts The Skeleton Dance and The Haunted House. If you're a fan of classic animation, you'll definitely get a kick out of
this.
