The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad/YMMV
- Creepy Awesome: The Headless Horseman
- Ensemble Darkhorse: If there's one thing people remember from this, it's the Headless Horseman.
- Epileptic Trees: When you consider the underlying themes of Ichabod Crane, you can see an allegorical reference to Nazi Germany. Ichabod enters town, looking like a poor caricature of a Jewish male. The hulking man who has lived in the town for his whole life suddenly gets ignored as this "foreign invader" takes off with all the women, including a blond-haired, blue-eyed starlet that just so happens to be rich, something Ichabod fixates on. So, what does the home-lander do? Strike up a tale about the "local ghost". The end is the real kicker: Ichabod is chased out of town by this zeitgeist and escapes his territory, only to be FIREBOMBED. The ending leaves the home-lander *cough*GERMANY*cough* with the girl *cough*MONEY*cough and Ichabod is either DEAD OR FAR AWAY. Yikes.
- ...You realize that pretty much all of that happened in the original story, right? The one from 1820?
- Evil Is Cool: Again, The Headless Horseman.
- Nightmare Fuel: Ichabod riding through the creepy woods. He hears animal noises: frogs calling his name and saying "oh oh" and a crow or raven cawing "HERE HE COMES! BEWARE! BEWARE!". A tree that looks like a ghost and another that looks like the Horseman.
- Values Dissonance: The Ichabod storyline is more than a little sexist.
