History YMMV / TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad

** Is the Horseman real? Disney started a pretty common trend of adaptations that lean on the "yes" column when the book leaned "no", but most of the hints from the original are still intact. The most difficult moment is when Ichabod looks down the neck, but you could still ''maybe'' assume he was panicking and the rider was keeping their head covered while inside the armor; it's already suggested in the leadup the Horseman's appearance that Ichabod's overwhelming fear is messing with his perception of things.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Billy Bletcher provided the voice for some memorable Disney villains like [[WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} Pete]] and [[[WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs the Big Bad Wolf]] which while not without their sinister moments they were relative comical and funny. Here he's the Headless Horseman's laugh. It's his only line of dialogue and it's extremely terrifying.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The public's reaction to the film at the time, though [[VindicatedByHistory it became more somewhat popular as time went on]].

** The "Don't even wear their skin" guy [[WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}} looks rather familar]]. [[EpilipticTrees Perhaps he's an ancestor of Anton's family who moved to America?]]

* JustHereForGodzilla: Some people watch the film solely for the ''Sleepy Hollow'' half, or even more specifically for Ichabod's encounter with the Headless Horseman. It helps that much of the film's promotional material, including its original poster, is primarily focused on the ''Sleepy Hollow'' half over the ''Wind and the Willows'' half.

** [[AwesomeEgo No one owns like Gaston!]] [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Changes tone like Gaston!]] [[MemeticMutation No one weirdly resembles Brom Bones like]] [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston!]] Although Gaston is far more of a jerk than Brom.

** Ichabod. He's the protagonist of the story, but he also comes off as manipulative {{Jerkass}}. Whether he's a "good guy" and how sympathetic he is varies among the viewer. In fact, Disney [[ShownTheirWork sort of gets one thing right here]] - the original tale is open to as much AlternateCharacterInterpretation as the AnimatedAdaptation.

** In the opening narration, the narrator suggests Myth/RobinHood, Myth/KingArthur, [[Literature/VanityFair Becky Sharp]], Literature/SherlockHolmes and Literature/OliverTwist as the "most fabulous characters in English literature". Since then, Disney has made adaptations of the [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood first]], the [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone second]] and the [[WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany last one]], two of which were {{Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation}}s. The intro to the Sleepy Hollow segment also references Davy Crockett (who had a live action TV series from Disney), Paul Bunyan (who had a short released in the late 1950s), and Johnny Appleseed (who Disney already tackled [[WesternAnimation/MelodyTime the previous film]]).

** Tilda has also gotten a following over the years who see her as an endearing character who is [[BigBeautifulWoman mode attractive than the movie would indicate.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Katrina Van Tassel has a small fan following; she has some fanart and it helps that she is a MsFanservice.
