<B>Ichabod and Mr. Toad (RKO, 1949).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). This was a "transition" picture for Disney. During and shortly after World War II, all Disney's animated features were composed of episodic featurettes. "Bambi," released in 1942, had been his last "true" feature before the war and "Cinderella" released in 1950 would be his next true feature-length film. However, unlike the rest of the war-era features composed of multiple vignettes, "Ichabod and Mr. Toad" was made of two longer featurettes. The first, "Mr. Toad" (narrated by Basil Rathbone), is a wonderful tale about an irresponsible toad who trades his home for a stolen car, with the resulting trial and adventures that ensue. The second half, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," is a true classic sung and told by Bing Crosby and is still viewed by millions of kids on Halloween! This one sheet has pinholes, a small stain in the lower credits, light soiling along the fold lines, and some light toning. Posters for this title are scarce and highly collected by Disney and animation enthusiasts. Very Fine+.
