The artwork isn't all that grand yet it seem to work out fine for this particular telling of the tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Admittedly, the short would have been better with nicer artwork to go along with it, yet I liked it well enough the way it is.John Carradine's narration really is the star of this little animated film. He was a very good storyteller and still has a great voice to listen to today.If you like any of the other film versions of Sleepy Hollow, then give this one a try! I found a copy of it on YouTube for viewing.7.5/10

This is one of the best short films ever. It is based on one of the best short stories ever. It is the story of Icabod Crane. One spooky night he ends up in a hunted forest runs into the Headless Horseman. This is a very scary movie. The acting is great. The story line is great. The animation is great. The animation in this movie is very different. John Carrdine was a great actor. This movie is a lot of fun for all ages. See this movie. It is a great movie. It is one of the scariest ghost stories ever. To bad they took off you tube. I hope they bring to back some day. It is one the best short films I have ever seen. It is very spooky. This is a great movie. Sleep Hollow (1999) is a little bite better. But still one of the best animated movies ever.

1972's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was a 13 minute animated short featuring the rich theatrical voice of legendary John Carradine providing narration. Long on exposition, disappointingly short on horror, a real problem with such a brief running time. Carradine's assured vocals are virtually the whole show, until the final two minutes, when Ichabod Crane flees in terror, a musical crescendo that just doesn't drum up much excitement. In 1981, Carradine supplied the narration for "The Reluctant Dragon," part of a CBS LIBRARY presentation of "Misunderstood Monsters." Animated features using his voice include 1969's "Shinbone Alley" (where he actually sings), 1977's "The Mouse and His Child," 1982's "The Secret of NIMH," and 1983's "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp."

I just got done watching this & you know what? it's not that great of ashort film. i loved the narration by the late & great & Underrated "JohnCarradine" but the artwork wasn't that great.nor was the story as good as say the (1949) "Disney" film but seeing as this was only 13 minutes. that can easily be forgiven. it's a decentlittle film. that i don't think i really need to get into if you knowthe story. but it's not a terrible little short either.anyways i give it a 5/10 cause it was halfway decent. but not good enough that i'd watch it again.
