In the great tradition of "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" and "Cinderella", Disney's 11th animated masterpiece, "The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad", introduced two literary classics to the screen. Through award-winning Disney-animated wizardry, these unforgettable children's stories come together as one fabulous adventure. "The Wind In The Willows" follows the wild ride of J. Thaddeus Toad, squire of Toad Hall. Smitten with motorcars, the wealthy and reckless sportsman soon drives his close friends Mole, Rat, and Angus MacBadger into a worried frenzy! Then meet Ichabod Crane, the spindly schoolteacher who dreams of sweeping the lovely Katrina off her feet -- until Brom Bones, the town bully, gets involved.

Narrated by legendary stars Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby, "The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad" is brimming with high-spirited adventure, brilliant animation, and captivating music -- now available for the first time in keeping with Walt's original theatrical vision.
