A Wonderful Film Adaptation of the Classic Tale
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been one of my favorite stories
since I was a kid. I recall having the story read to me and seeing
Disney's classic version of the tale in the 1949 animated "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad". Needless to say, when I saw the
advertisements for Tim Burton's take on the story I had to watch it and,
to no surprise, I fell in love with Burton's "Sleepy Hollow".
The
movie is full of Victorian Gothic imagery -- and, as someone mentioned,
it has a bit of "steampunk" thrown in to the mix which really adds to
all the wonderful imagery in the film.
The movie is an exciting
mystery which is "peppered" with some (Tim Burton) humor. A very
thrilling movie to watch on a dark and stormy night while all the lights
are off.
This movie is one of my all time favorite films ever! 10/10
