I always took the ending to mean that Brom dressed up and threw the pumpkin at Ichabod. He didn't kill him, but certainly scared him badly enough to leave and never come back, without even bothering to pack his meager belongings. He had no real reason to stay after he got rejected, and was probably not only terrified by his encounter, but embarrassed by whatever happened between him and Katrina.

Fun fact: the "nameless battle" that the story mentions is actually called the Battle of White Plains, in which a Hessian soldier actually did lose his head by cannon fire. This is what served as the inspiration for the Headless Horseman.

@nativevirginian8344 9 месяцев назад

Irving got the idea originally from an old German/European folk tale. Irving was America’s first writer, he was trying to give an American spin to the story. Trying to create some background for the world’s newest country. Yes, there were Hessians in New York, very ruthless soldiers. Paid by England to slaughter Americans.

@tomowens7499 3 года назад

I’m a cartoonist in the animation industry with 32 years experience... it is my long held opinion that sleepy hollow is the greatest cartoon of all time. It’s gorgeous to look at, the animation is stellar, the layouts are without equal, great design... but aside from the artistry, the song lyrics are superb, the music and singing is on point... perhaps the best thing about it is that it works so well for all ages, the fact that katrina is using ichabod as a tool to make brom jealous is something only older viewers will get. It’s masterful storytelling. I didn’t get the sexual undertones as a kid, i thought the horseman was indeed real... as an adult it hit me that it was likey a trick being pulled on him by brom to get him out of the picture. Lastly, it has the perfect level of genuine spookiness! Every time i hear someone reacting to something in a movie under development by saying ‘that’ll scare kids’, i bring up this cartoon...

@jamiegarrity6439 3 года назад

I like one particular aspect of the 1999 version. Ichabod was a detective sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the murders there. But I also like how the writers kept Ichabod's personality the same as in the Disney version. But also goes back to Ichabod's childhood to elaborate why he is the way he is.

It is said that by throwing blood at you, you are marked as a future victim... though in some versions, he blinds you with a whip made from a human's spine instead. Also, dullahans kill people simply by saying their names.

@bossstar4770 5 лет назад

Headless Horseman: I don't want to hurt people. I'm just a lost spirit, walking this world, which has now been reduced to a lifeless wasteland. I feel so alone and I just want to be with my wife again, but she died centuries ago, and she didn't have any unfinished business, so she left for the afterlife.

@nighidorah3084 4 года назад

@hishamochicosplay 4 года назад

Once a dullahan throws a bucket of blood at you when you've seen them, you're a deadman. You're marked for death simply because you've seen them out on their nightly ride to take souls to the afterlife and are likely to tell the tale of your experience to others. Like Jon said, a dullahan is a solitary fairy and they don't want to be seen by humans. They'd rather remain a myth in mythology. However, if you saw one by accident while going home at night, they might be merciful enough to let you live, but they'll blind you permanently by using their whip made from a human spine to make sure you never see them again.

I'm very impressed with your knowledge and research on this legend.

In 5th grade we took a tour of the local historical sites including Sunnyside, Washingting Irvings home. It looks like a Walt Disney designed structure. Directly north was North Tarrytown which had it name changed back to Sleepy Hollow. It's a beautiful area on the east side of the Hudson River where John D. Rockerfeller built his home called Potantico Hills. If your in NYC it's worth a train ride north to take the historic tour.

Katrina in did was pretty much playing with both Brom and Ichabood feelings about which one might be the worthiest for her, and she actually liked Brom all time, but she didn´t liked his character and behavior, so she set the school teacher ruse as a way for pushing him into someone worthier, working hard for winning her and not because of his vain bruttish power. Brom Bones had a very hard time and quite unexpected against Ichabood and Kathrina knew it, and were so delighted to see him in frustration and getting more clever skilled on her, than just claiming as a usual trophy as he could have done with any other woman there. After getting Ichabood scaried and gotten in embarrassment at the party by the ghost stories´time, she already made her choice on Bones for proving how deeply interested he was on her, and how he could win without relying into brutal force, but into deep clever strategy too. Katrina just was setting a trial for Brom to prove himself being worty, but she already did like him secretly, Ichabood was very naive for falling into her plot.

@fishsauce5250 4 года назад

Bruh. When did you get the time to do this

@AishaVonFossen 4 года назад

That's a really interesting analysis of Katrina! Thank you for sharing! :D I do really like the idea of Katrina testing Brom's personality and dedication to her. Although I will say, although Katrina wasn't that great a person herself, Ichabod wasn't, either. I think he had his pros and cons, as does anyone, but Jon Solo's right, Ichabod was mostly into marrying Katrina for her vast wealth. In the short story, nowhere does it mention that he's interested in Katrina herself; he is only fantasizing about how he could get his hands on her wealth and what he could do with it, while the thought of marrying Katrina and/or having a family and a personal life with her is just a side note, if even that. I don't know if I agree with Solo saying Brom Bones was a womanizer, though, I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the short story. And while I don't think it was right for Katrina to lead Ichabod on as she did, well, in a way, he kinda deserved it. As Solo said, we want to feel bad for Ichabod at first, but then we remember he was mostly into marrying Katrina to get rich and the tears dry up real quick. LOL

@@nativevirginian8344 good hypotesis but he could have been asexual too, and either way if he was properly into guys it should-could have surfaced a bit more through his writting somehow indirectly rather than using missoginy on female roles. (Furtherlymore missoginy isn´t itself a signature for homosexuality itself, as not all gay guys are like that, neither all of missogynists have been gay guys in all.) That´s a very narrowed or short-thought stereotype pretty much biased on prejudice towards myssoginy and homosexuality themselves as a common combo all times through all human history when actually it didn´t happen much as that, eventhough if there is still a higher rate of correspondence on the occurence of them, numbers don´t apply to particular cases on historical figures or even-living ones, still each case happens on its own reality or thruth about it, thus... it´s very short-thought and easy to make mistakes to assume one thing had to be always related to the other, even regarding a higher probability of evidence for it.

People also weren't always aware there was going to be a battle near their home, there could be troops moving through the town and be surprise attacked by enemies, especially during the Civil War where Northern troops had no care about southern civilians and would shoot them in the streets or burn their houses down.

This is probably the most accurate Disney has been with any of their adaptations. In fact, The only real differences come down to the mediums of film and animation, which allows for more humor through physical comedy, plus the typical musical numbers. Story wise, it's the book to a T. The original tale is so simplified, much of it is describing the town where it's set, which the film cuts back on by visually representing it. In fact, even being able to be so accurate is owed entirely to the fact the story was brief in the first place. Disney is so widely known for simplifying tales or lightening them up, it's refreshing to see them do one that tells a spot on version that's a direct translation of the original.

Clearly, Ichabod Crane survived. This tale looks like the amalgamation of two separate accounts from Crane and Brom Bones, as there is a happy ending for both Protagonist and Antagonist. (Seldom does that happen. One has to go to Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" to get a similar ending). The separate accounts proves that both Crane and Bones survived. Crane was clearly disgusted with Katrina's duplicity. Crane abandoned false love for true love, Bones found true love, and Katrina grew up.

@christianwright5874 3 года назад

@@rachdiva Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ichabod's survival is more-or-less confirmed thanks to the story's original framing device- namely that within the framing device of the original short story collection, both it and "Rip van Winkle" were found among the papers of one Diedrich Knickerbocker (a fictional Dutch historian whom Irving had invented for his first novel in 1809), and that Knickerbocker had in turn heard the whole story from the old farmer.

@pedrovallefin8406 3 года назад

@@christianwright5874 Umm, but that still dosnt prove anything, right? Even with that framing devise taken into acount, is still sorely based on the word of the farmer. And given that the story gives that creepy undertone that Bones may have killed him out of jeolusy, it kind of seems like the autor wanted to let to open interpretacion what really hapenned at the end. Or at least it seemed that way to me having only wathed the movie. I shoud look for the book to find out for sure. And apologies if there too many mistakes in my english, i should work on that as well.

It was Brom dressed up as the headless horseman! I've read the book, and it does imply that. Also the smashed pumpkin, Brom used the pumpkin as his "head" which he threw at Ichabod. Hence the remains found being Ichabod's hat and a smashed Pumpkin.

great episode!! it was interesting to see how the Disney animated and the Washington Irving story differed from each other and stayed the same. in the TV show Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane was not a teacher, but a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Abraham was his best friend and later became the headless horseman after selling his soul. both Ichabod and Abraham were linked together by a spell. when Ichabod came back to life in the 2010's, so did the horseman. damn, that was a great show. wish it was still on.

Disney...faithful to the original source material? What's going on...??? In all seriousness, it's too bad "Sleepy Hollow" took place after "Beauty and the Beast". Otherwise my theory where Gaston and Cinderella were the long-lost children of Brom Bones and Katrina would've had some merit.

One thing as an adult is how strange it is how much someone's interpretation of a story can change with life experiences. As a kid this story boiled down to bullying. As an adult woman, Crane seems to be sexually harrassing his teenage student and either others or the supernatural intervene. Also my sub box apparently throws up really old videos randomly.
