Hey, we found Gaston's relative
exactly what i thought!
Don't you mean descendent?
@@pickedceasar1216 Depends on if the Disney story takes place before or after Beauty and the Beast
PickedCeasar121 I know timelines are a thing, but he's dead. This isn't "Ghostbusters", so how would Gaston accomplish... THAT?
@@pickedceasar1216 you think brom is younger than gaston?
While Jon is mostly calm and collected, maybe throwing a few jokes here and there, the Wotso VIdeos guy is overexcited about the tiniest details. Its a funny contrast.
kaiser11f he’s just SO EXCITED it’s gr8
Very annoying
@@s.l.3281 Ya it makes him seem disingenuous.
MsWillowbayOrelse I have to disagree with you. He seems genuine to me. But i love the difference between him and Jon lol. I like to see different personalities and I love these type of videos.
@@LaurynLo Love it :) Different opinions make the world interesting. It is all about personal preference tho. My personal preference is - here are the facts not to monotone and not to excited. Thankfully not everyone thinks the same.
I always took the ending to mean that Brom dressed up and threw the pumpkin at Ichabod. He didn't kill him, but certainly scared him badly enough to leave and never come back, without even bothering to pack his meager belongings. He had no real reason to stay after he got rejected, and was probably not only terrified by his encounter, but embarrassed by whatever happened between him and Katrina.
Yeah it's vague enough that it's open to interpretation, which is often a good thing, that's one interpretation ; probably the most common one.
Finally, someone gets the ending! Exactly right.
Given that it’s Disney, I’d like to believe that’s the *real* Headless Horseman, especially with how much they lean into fantastical storytelling.
I’m a cartoonist in the animation industry with 32 years experience... it is my long held opinion that sleepy hollow is the greatest cartoon of all time. It’s gorgeous to look at, the animation is stellar, the layouts are without equal, great design... but aside from the artistry, the song lyrics are superb, the music and singing is on point... perhaps the best thing about it is that it works so well for all ages, the fact that katrina is using ichabod as a tool to make brom jealous is something only older viewers will get. It’s masterful storytelling. I didn’t get the sexual undertones as a kid, i thought the horseman was indeed real... as an adult it hit me that it was likey a trick being pulled on him by brom to get him out of the picture. Lastly, it has the perfect level of genuine spookiness! Every time i hear someone reacting to something in a movie under development by saying ‘that’ll scare kids’, i bring up this cartoon...
It’s one of my favorite movies, so entertaining 😄
You inspired me to watch it again!
I watched this in a college animation class. The instructor was one of my favorites and we all had a great time eating Halloween candy in class while watched it.
The instructor said of Bing Crosby, something like "Oh, that voice. Boy what I'd give for that voice."
"He beat his kids," I pointed out, having recently read a Wikipedia on the guy.
"Oh, well, nobody's perfect."
Not the scariest Disney has put out
“Get lost in her.... eyes.”
Ha ha ha ha
men...
Joanie C what about men?
He's such an Alpha. 😎

Here in Central-West Germany, the Headless Horseman is called the Wild Huntsman.
He rides on a white horse and has his head under his arm. He is followed by a pack of howling ghost dogs, which are actually dammned souls.
There many different legends about the Wild Huntsman
I know this was a year ago but that sounds pretty cool
In the story in US, he the Headless Horseman is German, Hessian solider ( Central -West Germany). Probably, the story was transferred into American folklore from German and Dutch (more likely) early settlers.
He's called the Dullahan in Ireland and instead of riding a horse he drives a horse and coach, lovingly called "the coach of the damned"
@@thomasdowling2011 You left out the part about him wielding a whip made of human vertebrae.
Ooh, isn't that part of a greater western-European folklore trope called The Wild Hunt?
Fun fact: the "nameless battle" that the story mentions is actually called the Battle of White Plains, in which a Hessian soldier actually did lose his head by cannon fire. This is what served as the inspiration for the Headless Horseman.
Irving got the idea originally from an old German/European folk tale. Irving was America’s first writer, he was trying to give an American spin to the story. Trying to create some background for the world’s newest country. Yes, there were Hessians in New York, very ruthless soldiers. Paid by England to slaughter Americans.
Why is it that every time a character, or a person in real life is on the brink of getting out of danger, or is at the light at the end of the tunnel, they just HAVE to turn around? That is the MOST dangerous time to do so. Like seriously, get tf outta there.
*Orpheus has entered the chat*
Live Louder :My first thought 🤣
@@cecefernandes5657 Exactly. XD
@@yanii6665 Yuppers. I was also thinking of that other religious story involving Lot's wife.
@@cecefernandes5657 I remember reading about that in a book of Greek mythology my teacher let me borrow 5 years ago. He almost had his wife (or girlfriend) back, but he had to consider that hades might be lying (we all know why he along with a lot of other people distrusted hades, and when you consider the reason it was kind of unfair). So he came with nothing and left (I'm pretty sure he left, I can't remember much of the story) with nothing.
Scary story at 1 am? Better judgment go away, this is Jon Solo
hahaha!
Omg yeah I know right
I’m watching this at 11 pm-
I’m a little scared now-
Please do The Messed Up Origins of Hansel and Gretel though the fairy tale has many versions and well the original story is really messed up
it's on the list ;)
That would be awesome
Yves Forbes Flores yes that would awesomeness su good suggested su 😆😉
So, I work at a candy store named Hansel and Gretal. It makes my heart so happy to hear it's on your list!
How many versions only 2 that i know of?
I like one particular aspect of the 1999 version. Ichabod was a detective sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the murders there. But I also like how the writers kept Ichabod's personality the same as in the Disney version. But also goes back to Ichabod's childhood to elaborate why he is the way he is.
Yes, but that movie has NOTHING to do with Irving’s original story.
Plot twist: it was Brom Bones but dressed up as the headless horsemen to scare him away
Francheska Catral In the movie “Night Of The Headless Horseman”, the Horseman did it--because he and Brom Bones made a deal. I don’t wanna spoil the awesomely horrifying finale, but let’s just say that even though Brom gets to have 30 good years with Katrina, he ultimately does NOT get a happy ending.
@@shewolfsiren good fuck that dude slsks
Le ouf
Francheska Catral in the 1999 movie that’s defiantly not the case you need to watch it to find out
One tbing i love of the story is while its hinted it was brom, its really left up to the readers to decide. Was the horseman real and did ichabod an unfortunate end at his hands? Or was it brom scaring ichabod and ichabod escaped and fled the town?
Its left up to you to decide
In my hometown there's a legend of a black rider called Galloping Harry he rides around the ground of an old castle and right through the permanently sealed front gates. My dad says he's seen him, but I don't believe him. He was either just trying to scare me or more likely he was just drunk and he spooked himself.
Black rider?? Funny your town's feeble urban legend just had to have a Black villain. Your towns people sound inbred and dumb.
Can I come to your town
Blacks are the Real Hebrews, good bait
@@jstrebbing322 I think he means he wears Black
@@descorchedfurnst2790 I was being sarcastic
Katrina kinda looks like Cindarella, like her face I mean
The brunette in the middle in the shot of all three of the girls looks like one of cinderella's step-sisters
Disney does like to recycle
That's because it's all done by early Disney. They would recycle certain silhouettes and such in order to make newer and more interesting characters for the newest generation
Before there was Jessica there was KVT.
Katrina is thic
That disney adaptation used to scare the hell out of me
I love the Johnny Depp version of "Sleepy Hollow", such a great Halloween movie. :)
Ikr I love scary Halloween movie and I have seen this movie almost 100,000,000 times
I LOVE watching it during rainy days 😌
@CantStayAway
Still have yet to watch that version by Tim Burton
I love that movie but my absolite favorite version of Sleepy Hollow is Fox's 2013 Television series of the same name. A fascinating new take on the classic story, incorporating aspects including modern day, other supernatural and folklore stories, and the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
I love that movie
Using your head as a lantern is quite practical.
He throws a bucket of blood in your face?! Not only are you freaking out from going home in the dark from a party, your night and clothes are ruined by a headless jerk who rather not be seen and chucks liquid nightmare fuel at you. He went from being a cautionary tale to a sadistic frat boy pledge leader.
Well, to be fair sometimes the Irish Dullahan is depicted as a woman and holds a similar role to the Valkyrie in greeting the dead. At least according to one of the versions of the legend I've read.
It is said that by throwing blood at you, you are marked as a future victim... though in some versions, he blinds you with a whip made from a human's spine instead.
Also, dullahans kill people simply by saying their names.
Headless Horseman: I don't want to hurt people. I'm just a lost spirit, walking this world, which has now been reduced to a lifeless wasteland. I feel so alone and I just want to be with my wife again, but she died centuries ago, and she didn't have any unfinished business, so she left for the afterlife.
Aids
Once a dullahan throws a bucket of blood at you when you've seen them, you're a deadman. You're marked for death simply because you've seen them out on their nightly ride to take souls to the afterlife and are likely to tell the tale of your experience to others. Like Jon said, a dullahan is a solitary fairy and they don't want to be seen by humans. They'd rather remain a myth in mythology. However, if you saw one by accident while going home at night, they might be merciful enough to let you live, but they'll blind you permanently by using their whip made from a human spine to make sure you never see them again.
I'm very impressed with your knowledge and research on this legend. Im particularly interested in this story as I lived in the village of Tarrytown for 10 years in an old carriage house built in the late 1700's which looked like a dutch colonial. In 5th grade we took a tour of the local historical sites including Sunnyside, Washingting Irvings home. It looks like a Walt Disney designed structure. Directly north was North Tarrytown which had it name changed back to
Sleepy Hollow. It's a beautiful area on the east side of the Hudson River where John D. Rockerfeller built his home called Potantico Hills. If your in NYC it's worth a train ride north to take the historic tour.
Randy Tompkins it is a beautiful area! I was born there but moved to the city as a kid and went to visit as an adult, I bet it’s real beautiful in the autumn season
Wow. I went to the Washington Irving high school in New York and they also had an elementary school called sleepy hollow. But I would love to visit the historical spots in tarrytown one day.
If i get up there to see my sister , will have to check it out.
I lived in Irvington so I know what you’re talking about
Tarrytown? That's also a location in Breath of the Wild (Tarrey Town). I wonder if there's a connection there
1:43 She looks exactly like Bow Peep from Toy Story.
Yeah you’re right
IceFlare TulipFlames; Yes, but she also reminds me a little of -- Charlotte, was her name?? -- from The Princess and the Frog.
@@alicewilloughby4318 Yeah that's a good point too and I think Charlotte was the name of that character.
You mean Cinderella
Katrina? Compare her to Cinderella lol they look identical.
Katrina in did was pretty much playing with both Brom and Ichabood feelings about which one might be the worthiest for her, and she actually liked Brom all time, but she didn´t liked his character and behavior, so she set the school teacher ruse as a way for pushing him into someone worthier, working hard for winning her and not because of his vain bruttish power. Brom Bones had a very hard time and quite unexpected against Ichabood and Kathrina knew it, and were so delighted to see him in frustration and getting more clever skilled on her, than just claiming as a usual trophy as he could have done with any other woman there. After getting Ichabood scaried and gotten in embarrassment at the party by the ghost stories´time, she already made her choice on Bones for proving how deeply interested he was on her, and how he could win without relying into brutal force, but into deep clever strategy too. Katrina just was setting a trial for Brom to prove himself being worty, but she already did like him secretly, Ichabood was very naive for falling into her plot.
Bruh.
When did you get the time to do this
That's a really interesting analysis of Katrina! Thank you for sharing! :D I do really like the idea of Katrina testing Brom's personality and dedication to her.
Although I will say, although Katrina wasn't that great a person herself, Ichabod wasn't, either. I think he had his pros and cons, as does anyone, but Jon Solo's right, Ichabod was mostly into marrying Katrina for her vast wealth. In the short story, nowhere does it mention that he's interested in Katrina herself; he is only fantasizing about how he could get his hands on her wealth and what he could do with it, while the thought of marrying Katrina and/or having a family and a personal life with her is just a side note, if even that. I don't know if I agree with Solo saying Brom Bones was a womanizer, though, I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the short story. And while I don't think it was right for Katrina to lead Ichabod on as she did, well, in a way, he kinda deserved it. As Solo said, we want to feel bad for Ichabod at first, but then we remember he was mostly into marrying Katrina to get rich and the tears dry up real quick. LOL
Yes, and think how scheming Katrina was! This was Irving’s critique on women, he didn’t like them very much. Scholars have come to believe that Irving was gay.
@@AishaVonFossen Yes, he gets Brom wrong. Brom went carousing with his male buddies, but he loved Katrina. The point is all the women were infatuated with Brom because he was such a manly man. I think he was man enough to handle Katrina. 😊
@@nativevirginian8344 good hypotesis but he could have been asexual too, and either way if he was properly into guys it should-could have surfaced a bit more through his writting somehow indirectly rather than using missoginy on female roles. (Furtherlymore missoginy isn´t itself a signature for homosexuality itself, as not all gay guys are like that, neither all of missogynists have been gay guys in all.) That´s a very narrowed or short-thought stereotype pretty much biased on prejudice towards myssoginy and homosexuality themselves as a common combo all times through all human history when actually it didn´t happen much as that, eventhough if there is still a higher rate of correspondence on the occurence of them, numbers don´t apply to particular cases on historical figures or even-living ones, still each case happens on its own reality or thruth about it, thus... it´s very short-thought and easy to make mistakes to assume one thing had to be always related to the other, even regarding a higher probability of evidence for it. (A proper saying could have stated that MAYBE he was gay as was very myssogynistic, but that´s NOT SURE as a whole.)
Everytime I hear that name or the story reminds me of the live action movie with Johnny depp, this is why I love theses!!
I've seen the TV series from FOX
I love both. I hope they bring back the TV one.
What live action?
True
@@lesaadams4090 Sleepy Hollow from 1999
Boy I didn’t even know about the Disney version until I was 14! Before that I watched the Johnny Depp version (so I never thought it was anything but scary)😂
@Whiterun Guard There were explosive cannon balls too ya know, as well as them causing copious amounts of shrapnel, especially breaking through wood. They could have been in different rooms or in a living room and large beams of wood could have taken several people out, other than it exploding. People also weren't always aware there was going to be a battle near their home, there could be troops moving through the town and be surprise attacked by enemies, especially during the Civil War where Northern troops had no care about southern civilians and would shoot them in the streets or burn their houses down. You should really open your mind a little bit instead of thinking you have to be hit directly by a cannonball for it to hit you or that everyone was informed when and where every battle was going to take place.
Samething with me but with The Wind in the Willows.
When I was young I watched some episodes of anime called "Tanoshii Willow Town" and Disney film "The Adventure of Mr Toad" and I didn't notice that they are share the same subject until I used the internet and read that the both of them are based on book called The Wind in the Willows.
Your tears dry up real quick because Ichabod Crane is so money hungry! 😂🤣🤣
To be fair, she was a bitch. She really was just trying to play bones along. To prove himself.
You can actually see the blood flowing into that guys face as he yells at us
HEY! We're not five years OLD! You don't have to YELL to hold our ATTENTION!

This is probably the most accurate Disney has been with any of their adaptations. In fact, The only real differences come down to the mediums of film and animation, which allows for more humor through physical comedy, plus the typical musical numbers.
Story wise, it's the book to a T. The original tale is so simplified, much of it is describing the town where it's set, which the film cuts back on by visually representing it. In fact, even being able to be so accurate is owed entirely to the fact the story was brief in the first place.
Disney is so widely known for simplifying tales or lightening them up, it's refreshing to see them do one that tells a spot on version that's a direct translation of the original.
Doesn't Brom (Brahm?) remind you of Gaston from B&B?
The comment w/ 2.4k likes that has been posted before yours by 2 months says it more funny and less direct. Read comments. Delete this one.
@@potat099 dang can't someone express their opinion. Some people share the same opinion, its like me telling you to change your opinion. Just because someone had expressed it before you
@@cakepopfrosting6148 I am not telling her to change her opinion. I am telling her that this opinion has already been shared and seen my a lot of people. People who have the same opinion can like that comment or say so in the replies of the comment. I just don't want to read the same shit over and over again
@@potat099 who the heck is gonna scroll through hundreds of comments before posting their own?
That's no coincidence. Milt Kahl, the supervising animator of Brom, was the mentor for Andreas Deja, who animated Gaston. :-)
There's a small neighborhood hidden in a canyon near my home that's actually called Sleepy Hollow. Incidentally, now that it's Halloween again, some guy that lives in that neighborhood put out a Headless Horseman statue at the end of his driveway.
Nah, sleepy hollow this took place in is the one on Long island, New York.
Noice
I used to live in a small town in Illinois near a village community called Sleepy Hollow. My old middle school was near the area. The town sign had the image of the Headless Horseman on it.
I'm not really a big fan of other communities using the same name and claiming their community as the original. Honor the original locations, guys.
The Sequel: The Headless Horseman Find His Head
Shouldn't it be HEADLESSTRIC HORSALOO?
The Headless Horseman Gets Some Head.
Which is a pumpkin.
Which is why it is a better alternative,especially with the squishy,warm pumpkin guts. :)
Heads up
This reminded me about when I learned about la llorona and it was about a women who wails at night for her lost children. My thought after hearing this was that it sounded a lot like a banshee
Same
Bean Sidhe (Banshee) means "woman of the faerie mound" in Irish. Sidhe (pronounced "shee") is literally an earthen mound, and Bean (pronounced "ban") is a woman.
Sleepy hollow the movie is the reason I’m scared of Christopher Walken 😂
Maybe it needs more cow bell😁
Walken's is one of the best bad guys
He was always scary to me until he was in the movie Sarah, plain and tall with Glenn Close.

🎃❤🔪
the version I heard growing up from my grandmother was that the collision with the headless horsemen's head took ichabod's head off his body. The ending is that his body is found beside the smashed pumpkin but his head is never found.
In the movie “Night Of The Headless Horseman”, the Horseman did it--because he and Brom Bones made a deal. I don’t wanna spoil the awesomely horrifying finale, but let’s just say that even though Brom gets to have 30 good years with Katrina, he ultimately does NOT get a happy ending.
shewolfsiren there was nothing horrifying about that movie other than the 1999 cgi that was used. Wow Brom becomes the new horseman sooooooo horrifying they literally didn’t show anything graphic so I’m not sure what you’re on about
Michael deBidart I guess you didn’t see the part where he took his head off and it rotted right in Washington Irving’s hands as he was looking at it?
So Brom raced The Headless Horseman for a bowl of punch? I figured it out! His head is The Kool-Aid Man (Oh Yeah)
It was Brom dressed up as the headless horseman! I've read the book, and it does imply that. Also the smashed pumpkin, Brom used the pumpkin as his "head" which he threw at Ichabod. Hence the remains found being Ichabod's hat and a smashed Pumpkin.
Clearly, Ichabod Crane survived. This tale looks like the amalgamation of two separate accounts from Crane and Brom Bones, as there is a happy ending for both Protagonist and Antagonist. (Seldom does that happen. One has to go to Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" to get a similar ending). The separate accounts proves that both Crane and Bones survived. Crane was clearly disgusted with Katrina's duplicity. Crane abandoned false love for true love, Bones found true love, and Katrina grew up.
Really i think he was Decapitated
@@rachdiva Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ichabod's survival is more-or-less confirmed thanks to the story's original framing device- namely that within the framing device of the original short story collection, both it and "Rip van Winkle" were found among the papers of one Diedrich Knickerbocker (a fictional Dutch historian whom Irving had invented for his first novel in 1809), and that Knickerbocker had in turn heard the whole story from the old farmer.
@@christianwright5874 Umm, but that still dosnt prove anything, right? Even with that framing devise taken into acount, is still sorely based on the word of the farmer. And given that the story gives that creepy undertone that Bones may have killed him out of jeolusy, it kind of seems like the autor wanted to let to open interpretacion what really hapenned at the end. Or at least it seemed that way to me having only wathed the movie. I shoud look for the book to find out for sure. And apologies if there too many mistakes in my english, i should work on that as well.
Only this movie was released in the mid 40's.
Well.....I guess I won’t be sleeping tonight......or ever
More like feeling *sleepy* , am I right? I guess you'll be feeling real *hollow* after watching this video.
Commander Vander you don’t have to dislike at all. You can keep you negativity to yourself

Brianna Ervin dude it’s a joke. Puns make me cringe but at the same time I think it’s hilarious and I admire his/her wit. I actually liked, jsyk.
Brianna Ervin but sorry if I offended you or melese. My sincerest apologies. I thought the pun was very clever, please forgive my rude comment.
I love the Tim Burton’s version of Sleepy Hollow the movie. Where Johnny Depp plays an inspector.
Yeah, I saw that movie first and it's super spooky. Also I read an old Ravenloft novel which had an interesting twist on the Headless Horseman. A short story called The Freak which imo is too short and needed more depth, but incredibly compelling and mysterious nonetheless.
during my childhood, i always thought that brom dressed up as the headless horseman to scare ichabod off for good, so he could marry katrina without competition ngl
That’s what happened.
A Jon Solo and Wotso Videos collaboration. What a time to be alive.
Could you do the Black Cauldron, that movie freaked me out as a kid.
That's basically a D&D story just wrong on all counts. No origins needed.
Yeah the part where the dead soldiers are brought back as undead warriors who kill a couple of guys and turn them into undead soldiers.
While He Was Looking At Her .........

She had *HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE....TRACTS O'LAND!*
Bloody hell I forgot there was a Disney version of this! Definitely need to watch it again!
You are a amazing person jon solo
Do a messed up origins on the black cauldron. Spoopy!!!!
Glacial Knight I love the Black Cauldron book series!!! The movie was so bad.
Spoopy? So that's what you call it when a ghost goes to the bathroom.
Celty Dullahan looking at this episode thinking "am I a joke to you?" XD
my poor ear I was waring headphones 100% up
great episode!! it was interesting to see how the Disney animated and the
Washington Irving story differed from each other and stayed the same.
in the TV show Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane was not a teacher,
but a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Abraham was his best friend and later
became the headless horseman after selling his soul. both Ichabod and Abraham
were linked together by a spell. when Ichabod came back to life in the 2010's, so did the
horseman. damn, that was a great show. wish it was still on.
One of my favorite Disney Halloween classics!
I felt attacked by the Criminal Minds joke 😂😂😂
In my country (Colombia) we have a legend about a headless priest (i don't really remember much about it, though)
Disney...faithful to the original source material? What's going on...??? In all seriousness, it's too bad "Sleepy Hollow" took place after "Beauty and the Beast". Otherwise my theory where Gaston and Cinderella were the long-lost children of Brom Bones and Katrina would've had some merit.
Maybe the other way around?
Wait nevermind I forgot Gaston died.
Unless he fathered a child with one of the triplets or another girl in the village before he died.
Sadly even if the movie did come before Beauty and the Beast it wouldn't work because Gaston on and Cinderella are French and Brom and his future wife are American
@@Solqueen86 True. But Brom and Katrina could've moved to France before their children were born. Or, when adopted, Gaston and Cinderella were renamed and raised there.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my most favorite scary stories of all time,especially in the 1949 Disney adaption.
The final film made in the War Time area.
You are a great duo. I enjoyed Isaac's enthusiasm.
Perfect to listen to on Halloween. ❤I've been binge watching his videos or whatever they are called. I love it. He tells interesting history while being funny. So it doesn't get boring.
*The Headless Horseman was always my favorite monster-if he can be properly and officially labeled as that-and his backstory is so fascinating!! I love your Messed Up Origins, Jon Solo!!! Keep up the amazing work!! (^_^)*
Loved this video, it really gets ya in the spirit of the season! You guys did great with the crossover, both of you were very informative. I was really hoping you'd cover this one and I'm not disappointed! 🎃
I really admire how you include some of Disney's older and forgotten content, but especially how it brings attention to classical literature and also how you go through the plot, history, and show the differences in the adaptations. Fantastic work!
One thing as an adult is how strange it is how much someone's interpretation of a story can change with life experiences.
As a kid this story boiled down to bullying. As an adult woman, Crane seems to be sexually harrassing his teenage student and either others or the supernatural intervene.
Also my sub box apparently throws up really old videos randomly.
I think Terrytown is mentioned by the narrator at the begining when showing the map where the early New Yor City was and then goes to mention Sleepy Hollow just after it.
Happy belated birthday, Jon! It was my birthday too lol! Pretty cool to share a birthday with weird al, Ryan Reynolds, Martin Luther king the third, pele, and of course, an awesome youtuber!
I love it when solo and wotso do collaborations together.
Yes it's 2020
Yes it's a world wide pandemic
Yes, I did not see this video yet
And I'm binge watching.
Really great video! Both you and Isaac Carlson did a great job breaking down both the Disney and Washington Irving's version of Sleepy Hollow.

Azazura Azura it’s a joke
Oh, I thought Dreamworks must have slightly changed some bits as it adapted it into a film. I have never read the book Shrek so I am not really sure...
I love both of yalls channels , yall made my day making a vid together
I so admire the attention to detail you put into this presentation, Jon. I really enjoy your work. Please keep it coming.
There was also a Viking version of the character called...(wait for it)... The Headless Norseman!
I was born in Sleepy Hollow. Years later (1981), I would play Renfield in Dracula in my local community theater. Eleven years after that, I would ceate the very first Haunted House my town ever had. Loved your video. Very informational.
I binged through a lot of your Disney origins videos and you summarize these stories so well! Keep up the great work Mr. Solo. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
This has always been one of my favorite “ Disney Stories”. Thanks, I enjoy all your origin compilations.
Can you do missed up Origins of 101 dalmatians
the art dragon there isn’t one, it’s a really nice feel-good book though
@@Catking19 ikr
the art dragon Cruella drowns the white cat’s kittens, and she has a fur hunter as a husband. There were also a few extra characters here
@@c.julietofcampjupiter8557 wow
CJ R Who knew Cruella could be even more of a monster than she already was?
Can you do a Messed Up Origins on A Christmas Carol???
nothing really messed up, every movie is more or less faithful to the book.
I really can't call The Legend of Sleepy Hollow all that messed up of an Origin... But its still fun to think about... A Christmas Carol would just be a good one to do for Christmas ;3
WolfX1120 there is no messed up origin...
@@WolfX1120 Actually, a movie of the same title/story is a bit mixy at best, but does carry the blueprint of the original story. Just.. so confusing. You'll have to watch it to see my point.
The Headless Horseman was a Hessian soldier that was beheaded by a cannon ball. His body continued to ride the horse without missing a step.
Where's that version from?
@@cedartheyeah.justyeah.3967 Years ago I was in New York reading through contemporary articles that spoke about the Hessian soldier being beheaded by a Canon ball in the Battle of White Plains in 1776 near Halloween!
@@cedartheyeah.justyeah.3967 It's from the White Plains war in 1776 near Halloween!
@@constipatedinsincity4424 Cool
@@constipatedinsincity4424 i have also have wondered the identity of the headless horseman and where in germany he was from.
