    I love to think that Sleepy Hollow has 4 endings, and allows the audience to pretty much choose which they thing is correct. Ending 1: The headless horseman is Brom Bones in disguise who simply scares away Ichabod. Ending 2: The headless horseman is Brom Bones in disguise who kills Ichabod and has pretty much gotten away with murder! Ending 3: The headless horseman is real, and he carried Ichabod away/took his head! Ending 4: The headless horseman is real, but Ichabod managed to cross the bridge and ultimately escape...he was so horrified by the event that he moved away.

    Looking back, I’m sort of surprised how kind of subversive and progressive the Ichabod cartoon was. The big muscular jock character wasn’t some big asshole but rather a genuinely nice guy who loves the rich girl for her and not money and was nice enough to offer a dance to the fat girl who had no one to dance with. Meanwhile, the educated “nice guy” was the real asshole who swindles people and wants to marry a girl just for her father’s money.
    And yes, even if the Chad character is implied to be a murderer.

      Susana Almeida Either Ichabod survived, was attacked by Brom Bones, or murdered by the Headless Horseman himself in cold blood. I would mostly prefer the latter.

      I never believed Brom had straight-up KILLED Ichabod...he wouldn't have had to go through such an elaborate charade to do so. I think he just frightened Ichabod off (and don't forget, it's not mentioned in the Disney version but in the short story, Katrina had clearly cut Ichabod off before his ride home--it's implied she was only using Ichabod to make Brom jealous the whole time). I think that the scene at the end with Ichabod's wife and children is the truth, and the old wives of Sleepy Hollow were off the mark when they presumed Ichabod a victim of the Horseman.

      And in the original story it's all of that and also... played straight but as a vaguely insulting joke. Washington Irving was a satirist, a hard-core gadfly and inveterate comedian-historian, using fiction to make points on truth. He really dug into the culture of his day. That ending, and the specific way it was phrased, was a poking fun and subtle condemnation of Dutch settlers as superstitious, gossipy introverts who preferred a good story they "knew" was true to silly things like facts.

    Actually, there's another theory about the Headless Horseman. Isaac of Wotso Videos believes that it's possible that Jack Skellington was the Headless Horseman at one point in his afterlife. It would kind of explain it as we kinda saw a statue of the head of Ichabod's horse in the graveyard during Jack's Lament.

    As much as I like The Adventures of Mr. Toad, I wish they'd been able to make a full-length, more book-faithful Wind in the Willows. It's a shame that it was made when it was, when the animation department was struggling...a few years later after Cinderella revitalized Disney animation, they could have made a full-length version as sort of a Brit-kid-lit trifecta with Alice and Peter Pan.

    • @TherealRNOwwfpooh
      @TherealRNOwwfpooh Před 2 lety +1

      Because it was the actual specter & not Brom, that's why. There are even slightly noticeable differences between Brom's horse & the Horseman's steed, even though both are black. Plus, if it was Brom, Ichabod would've seen the top of Brom's head hiding under the Horseman's collar, but instead, saw nothing but pure darkness, signifying that it was, in fact, the actual galloping ghoul chasing him & not his burly rival in disguise. Furthermore, in the real world Sleepy Hollow, Abraham Martling (the inspiration for Abraham Van Brunt, alias Brom Bones) is interred among the Van Tassel family (including the ladies Van Tassel who inspired the literary interpretation of coquettish Katrina, namely Caterina Van Tassel in name & her vivacious niece Eleanor Van Tassel-Brush in personality), whereas the cranium-challenged ghost on phantom horseback was implied to be buried in an unmarked plot on the giant knoll overlooking the remainder of The Old Dutch Church that was strictly reserved for outsiders (including Native American Indians & enemies killed in wartime battle, the latter of which the doomed German solider was once his head was blown off by a stray, errant cannonball in the Battle of White Plains), but even more curiouser than that is the canonically historical fact that the fallen Hessian was actually given a proper Christian burial by, coincidentally enough, Caterina & Eleanor's ancestor, Elizabeth Van Tassel, since that particular uniform in question had actually saved her infant baby's life (and therefore, her future bloodline) during a raid prior to losing his head, as documented in the record book written for Sleepy Hollow's Bicentennial Celebration, so in a way, Katrina's family controlled the Headless Horseman, both in literary form (with the original short story playing with the idea that it was Brom in disguise, but it was never significantly proven for the sake of a good narrative) & in somewhat factual reality. This notion of someone in the Van Tassel family making the predominant spook of the area do their bidding is played with for campy horror in Tim Burton's grimdark 1999 film adaptation of the classic tale, in which Lady Van Tassel was a genuine witch directly using the undead revenant to maintain her stranglehold on the small hamlet by having him kill everyone (educated displaced Connecticut Yankee protagonist Ichabod [presumably], Brom [genuinely cut in half whilst playing out his prank to frighten nosy Ichabod out of town] & even the lovely but shrewish Katrina included), meanwhile she hid his missing decapitated head away from him, at least until he discovered the subterfuge, reclaimed his vampiric Christopher Walken head, put it back on his shoulders & viciously sucked face with Lady Van Tassel using his fangs before promptly swiftly beheading her to gleefully hold up her severed head like a victory trophy, after which he returned to the damned underworld from whence he came (considering how the wretched curse to summon him had been lifted, so he could finally rest in peace now that his unfinished business [according to certain bits of paranormal lore, the reason ghosts exist is because their spirits are unable to cross over to the other side primarily due to having unfulfilled tasks that they had left undone whilst alive, just because their untimely deaths actively prevent them from wrapping up whatever it was they were doing before going to either Heaven or Hell & their restless ectoplasmic energies stubbornly refuse to leave until they conclude their work] to get back his long-lost head had reached successful completion).
