ICHABOD CRANE PRODUCTION CEL

GOUACHE ON CEL, 1949Description: Original hand inked and hand painted production animation cel of Ichabod Crane riding his horse Gunpowder set on a lithographic background from \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow\" section of \"The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,\" 1949, Walt Disney Studios; Unframed.
\"The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,\" 1949 is an animated package film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film consists of two segments – the first is based on the 1908 children\'s novel \"The Wind in the Willows\" by British author Kenneth Grahame, and the second is based on the 1820 short story \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,\" (named Ichabod Crane in the Disney film) by American author Washington Irving. The famed American singer and actor Bing Crosby provided the voice of Ichabod Crane, Brom Bones, and the Narrator.
The story takes place in October 1790 when Ichabod Crane, a lanky, gluttonous, superstitious yet charming man; arrives in Sleepy Hollow, New York. It\'s a small village north of Tarrytown and is renowned for its ghostly haunting and Ichabod is to be the town\'s new schoolmaster. Despite his odd behavior and awkward appearance, he soon wins the hearts of the village\'s women. Brom Bones, the rough town hero, does his best to bully Ichabod; however he is very good at ignoring Brom\'s taunts. Soon Ichabod falls in love with eighteen-year-old Katrina van Tassel, the beautiful daughter and only child of Baltus van Tassel who is the richest man in all of Sleepy Hollow. Brom, who is also in love with the beautiful Katrina, begins to compete with the schoolmaster for her affection. However, Ichabod succeeds in winning Katrina over at every opportunity. Unbeknownst to Ichabod, Katrina is only using him to make Brom jealous.
Both Brom and Ichabod are invited to the annual van Tassel Halloween party. While sitting down to dinner, Brom tells Ichabod and the party guests the ghost story of the Headless Horseman, who had lost his head a long time ago during the Revolutionary War. Ever since, on every Halloween night he rides into Sleepy Hollow looking for a new head. The only way to escape him is to cross the covered bridge, as the Headless Horseman\'s evil powers are limited to within the dark woods.
After the Halloween party ends, Ichabod rides home alone and keeps imagining that he is being followed. He hears strange sounds and then realizes that it\'s only cattails bumping against a log; Ichabod and his horse begin to hysterically laugh. But then suddenly both stop, as they realize that another laugh has joined them. As Ichabod and his horse slowly turn around, they find the Headless Horseman about to attack them with his sword. The Horseman begins to chase them, laughing all the while. Ichabod gallops for the bridge and barely manages to make it across. As Ichabod turns around, he screams as the Horseman\'s black horse rears up, and the Headless Horseman throws a flaming jack o\' lantern right at him. The very next morning, Ichabod\'s hat was found next to a shattered pumpkin; however, Ichabod was never heard from again.Measurements:
