Viewing Notes
Found this on the shelf at my library. Haven’t seen since I was a kid. I think. Nice surprise to find Basil Rathbone narrating.
Didn’t realize Bing Crosby narrated the Sleepy Hollow segment. Kinda hard to believe that Disney created a ride based on Mr. Toad. That segment is just okay (and not one I remembered at all). The Sleepy Hollow story is the one I always remember from my youth.
