The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Amazon.com

This 1949 Disney feature has never been available on video in its original form until now. The 68-minute film contains two shorts: The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The former is a lively version of Kenneth Grahame's book of animal adventures, including Mr. Toad, a rambunctious sort with a passion for motorcars. Basil Rathbone narrates the story. Sleepy Hollow is the Washington Irving story of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to win the love of the fair Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many fans will see a resemblance to Disney's masterpiece created some 40 years later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and story. The end is still scary enough to send youngsters under the table. Bing Crosby supplies the narration, character voices, and songs. The opening number in a library including two stories has been included in this good-looking restoration. The shorts were made in Disney's prime, a year before Cinderella, and the look is wondrous. The exaggeration of Ichabod's skinny frame and his slumping horse is a glorious example. --Doug Thomas

Description

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. Their comic rivalry introduces Ichabod to THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, the fabled Headless Horseman, and a hair-raising, heart-thumping climax. 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.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.......2007-08-31

I enjoyed watching this movie just as much as I did when I was a kid well over a half century ago. For those who have never seen this movie are missing one of Disney's great movies.
"Questar" a satisfied viewer.

This is Halloween!!.......2007-08-21

This is a wonderful DVD to show at Halloween time.
Light a fire, order a pizza, make a bowl of popcorn and cuddle with your kids on the couch and enjoy this Disney Masterpiece. This would make a great double feature with "Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein". It is great "Harmless Halloween Fun". Enjoy!!

Excellent Disney movie!.......2007-05-24

This DVD has two of my most favorite Disney classics! My Disney collection is complete!

Well Done Disney.......2007-05-13

It's great that Disney are re-releasing their product for todays generation of young children.
I hope they get as much pleasure watching these timeless animated features as I did when I was their age.

i wonder if bing & basil woulda been a good team?.......2007-03-30

financial stress (not to mention ww2) caused the disney studio to give up feature-length animation for most of the 1940s; instead, we frequently got programmers like this double bill based on tales by washington irving ("the legend of sleepy hollow") and kenneth grahame ("wind in the willows"): masterpieces of fiction but only adequate transfers to screen. voiced with some charm by bing crosby and basil rathbone respectively, they are entertaining and inoffensive, tho hardly major works of the disney canon.

Hailed by critics as one of the greatest films ever made, Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu is an undisputed masterpiece of Japanese cinema, revealing greater depths of meaning and emotion with each successive viewing. Mizoguchi's exquisite "gender tragedy" is set during Japan's violent 16th-century civil wars, a historical context well-suited to the director's compassionate perspective on the plight of women and the foibles of men. The story focuses on two brothers, Genjuro (Masayuki Mori) and Tobei (Sakae Ozawa), whose dreams of glory (one as a wealthy potter, the other a would-be samurai) cause them to leave their wives for the promise of success in Kyoto. Both are led astray by their blind ambitions, and their wives suffer tragic fates in their absence, as Ugetsu evolves into a masterful mixture of brutal wartime realism and haunting ghost story. The way Mizoguchi weaves these elements so seamlessly together is what makes Ugetsu (masterfully derived from short stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant) so challenging and yet deeply rewarding as a timeless work of art. Featuring flawless performances by some of Japan's greatest actors (including Machiko Kyo, from Kurosawa's Rashomon), Ugetsu is essential viewing for any serious lover of film. --Jeff Shannon

DVD features
The Criterion Collection's high standards of scholarly excellence are on full display in the two-disc set of Ugetsu, packaged in an elegant slipcase reflecting the tonal beauty of the film itself, which has been fully restored with a high-definition digital transfer. The well-prepared commentary by critic/filmmaker Tony Rayns combines the astute observations of a serious cineaste (emphasizing a keen appreciation for Mizoguchi's long-take style, compositional meaning, and literary inspirations) with informative biographical and historical detail. In the 14-minute featurette "Two Worlds Intertwined," director Masahiro Shinoda discusses how Mizoguchi's career and films have had a lasting impact on himself and Japanese culture in general. Interviews with Tokuzo Tanaka (first assistant director on Ugetsu) and cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa focus more specifically on anecdotal production history Mizoguchi's working methods, including the director's legendary perfectionism regarding painstaking details of props, costumes, and production design.

Disc 2 consists entirely of Kenji Mizoguchi: The Life of a Film Director, a 150-minute documentary from 1975. Though it occasionally gets bogged down in biographical minutia, the film provides a thoroughly comprehensive survey of Mizoguchi's career, including interviews with nearly all of Mizoguchi's primary collaborators. Director/interviewer Kaneto Shindo ultimately arrives at an emotionally devastating coup de grace when he informs the great actress Kinuyo Tanaka (star of The Life of Oharu and other Mizoguchi classics) that Mizoguchi had considered her "the love of his life." Tanaka's graceful response provides a moving appreciation of their artistic bond, which never evolved into romance. As we learn, the tragic irony of Mizoguchi's life is that he died in sadness and suffering, in 1956, just as he was entering a more hopeful and artistically revitalized period of middle age. After showing us all the locations that were important in Mizoguchi's life, the film closes with a blunt discovery of life's ethereal nature: The great director's final home was torn down and replaced with a gas station. The 72-page booklet that accompanies Ugestu contains a well-written appreciation of the film by critic Phillip Lopate. Also included are the three short stories that inspired Ugetsu, allowing readers to see how Mizoguchi and screenwriter Yoshikata Yoda masterfully combined elements of these unrelated stories to create one of the enduring classics of Japanese cinema. --Jeff Shannon

Ghosts and Shadows.......2007-08-10

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! I am now a Kenji Mizoguchi fan and plan to check out more of his work. Few ghost stories come near this movie in quality. Simply terrific fable.

Ugetsu.......2007-06-27

One of the great masterworks of Japanese cinema, "Ugetsu" is part ghost story, part wartime drama, and the two mix beautifully under Mizoguchi's cogent direction. In some ways, he links the suffering of women--murder, rape, destitution--to the selfish acts and desires of men, an unambiguously progressive theme in postwar Japan's reevaluation of tradition. "Ugetsu" benefits enormously from the presence of Kyo as a sensual apparition, as well as Kazuo Miyagawa's gliding camerawork. Film lovers will embrace this entrancing story of human longing.

A true classic from Mizoguchi.......2007-05-28

I watched the Criterion Collection DVD of Kenji Mizoguchi's "Ugetsu" a few nights ago. This may well be my favorite Asian film of all. It may be a film that deals with ghosts, but above all it's a film about humanity and the things that drive us. Set during the civil wars of 16th century Japan, it tells the tale two farmers (Genjuro and Tobei), their ambitions (one to be a potter, the other to become a samurai) and the terrible effect it has on their families.

The B&W picture looks very good - sharp with good contrast, and definitely better than I remember the Criterion LD looking. The cinematography is effective, the music alternately haunting and heart rending. I've not yet watched any of the interviews or the two and a half hour Mizoguchi documentary, but I look forward to it. I'm sure I'll get "Sansho the Bailiff" by Mizoguchi, as well.

In short, this film is a must see for anyone interested in Asian cinema, classic cinema or for anybody who has emotions and can feel.

An Antti Keisala Comment: There's A Ghost In Every Mirror.......2007-05-20

I'm writing this comment in anticipation of Criterion's release of Sanshô dayû, one of my all-time favourites. I live in Finland and found access to that film through the British Film Institute's VHS release, which, to my great frustration, broke a few years back. I've been waiting a Criterion release ever since.

The first sign of a reward was this, the "other" Mizoguchi everyone's talking about. And truly, what an experience. In this film every image is a mystery, each of them is just one branch in a tree of mysteries. If you're out for some beautiful imagery, this is worth recommending for that reason alone. I'm all for imagery, because our quest in cinema really has to do with them, and hopefully most of the time.

This isn't a new concept, just something that we all find when we plod on. My personal name for it is "visual narrative", a way in which the camera moves and reveals things, and what it reveals and does not. It's a narrative eye, a conscious camera that moves in a seemingly two-dimensional world by diving deep into other realities. By this I simply mean that while often cinema is perceived as having two layers, that of the story (or context) and that of the image. This is why I think some people find films such as Wong's In The Mood For Love and 2046, Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev and Malick's The Thin Red Line pretentious. For me this duality doesn't exist: these layers are organically one and the same, an idea that was introduced in literary theory by the Russian formalists almost a hundred years ago.

You could think of this film as having two gods, two narrative threads intertwining. The first is what we always associate with whatever Mizoguchi, the feminist story-telling device and deep sympathy. Ironically we find out in the documentary on the second disk that it was never Mizoguchi's intention to be a feminist film-maker. Yet the wonderful invention here comes from the other half of the story, which is about ghosts. Mizoguchi has segmented this in sotto voco throughout the whole narrative, mostly because the notion is already so strong. That is, we also have ghosts in the visual narrative, in every frame and beyond. These ghosts are figments of a visual space that I assume explicates itself when the visible narrative ("plot") advances, becomes errant, folds and becomes intrusive. Then these ghosts unleash and the big shift is how there ultimately should be nothing; how we see the woman beside the fireplace when she shouldn't be there - the illusion is so strong it remains.

The supernatural is presented in the story beautifully. This film dwells on both fronts unlike most Mizoguchi, whose films are so often rooted in grim reality. And I think it's the reason why the film turns out to be so beautifully captivating and as magical as it is. The packaging itself is beautiful, and also included is the two-hour mammoth documentary on Mizoguchi, which isn't only informative, but actually funny and interesting as it goes through his whole life. Also included is a book that includes two short stories that inspired the film (including Guy de Maupassant) and a writing from film critic Philip Lopate. A magical experience. If you have the chance or any interest, this wouldn't only completement Mizoguchi's "Sanshô", but Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Two wondrously mystic films. Lovingly recommended.

With best regards,
AK

a great must-see japanese classic made in 1953.......2007-04-29

this film won award is not a surprise, because it's indeed a great film. a potter with ambitious prosperous dream, a loving wife and caring mother to their child; a village's idiot and a moron, dreaming of becoming a samurai wannabe, abandoned his lovely young wife who later was raped by the soldiers...then the potter met a mysterious lady who actually was a ghost but fell for his pottery artworks. a beautifully shot film and an immediate classic to be treasured without any time frame. screenplay so nicely adapted from two short stories one domestic one foreign with quite simple scenario and plot but well interpreted by good actors and actresses.
this film has reminded us that the history of every nation, no matter how justified or glorified, was simply built along the blood path of killing of their own people. all the history of a nation was nothing but a continued killings of their own people. japan, korea, china, countries in south east asia, india, egypt and all the muslin tribal countries, russia, all those european countries, france, united kingdom, countries of latin america and africa, the united states of america, or even on the remote islands in the south pacific, the governing entities always kept killing their own people to get their histories glorified. how a kingdom or a nation was finally united? by endless and merciless killings, of course, as simple as that. and, of course, winners took all.
this film is a very doomful yet melancholy haunting and beautiful masterpiece of all time.

A masterpiece of filmmaking artifice and mood-setting atmosphere, Kwaidan consists of four ghost stories adapted from the fiction of Greek-born Lafcadio Hearn (a.k.a. Yakumo Koizumi, 1850-1904), who assimilated into Japanese culture so thoroughly that his writings reveal no evidence of Western influence. So it is that these four cinematic interpretations--perhaps more accurately described as tales of spectral visitation--are sublimely Japanese in tone and texture, created entirely in a studio with frequently stunning results. There are painterly images here that remain the most beautiful and haunting in all of Japanese cinema, presented with the purity of silent film, sparsely accompanied by post-synchronized sounds and music (by Toru Takemitsu) that enhance the otherworldly effect of director Masaki Kobayashi's meticulous imagery. When viewed in a receptive frame of mind, Kwaidan can be intensely hypnotic.

Each of the four stories find their protagonists confronted by spirits that compel them to (respectively) make amends for past mistakes, maintain vows of silence, satisfy the yearnings of the undead, or capture phantoms that remain frightfully elusive. As each tale progresses, their supernatural elements grow increasingly intense and distant from the confines of reality. With careful use of glorious color and wide-screen composition, Kwaidan exists in a netherworld that is both real and imagined, its characters never quite sure they can trust what they've seen and heard. Vastly different from the more overt shocks of Western horror, the film casts a supernatural spell that remains timelessly effective. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Cannes, Kwaidan features four nightmarish tales in which terror thrives and demons lurk. Adapted from traditional Japanese ghost stories, this lavish, widescreen production drew extensively on Kobayashi's own training as a student of painting and fine arts. Criterion is proud to present Kwaidan in a new ravishing color transfer.

One of the best ghost story films there is........2007-08-05

Kwaidan is a beautiful looking film with lavish colorful sets, dreamlike images, and great atmosphere. The director Masaki Kobayashi drew on his own training as a student of painting and other fine arts. I also like his patient movie making style, Kobayashi takes his time and let's his viewers experience the film and feel a bit of what the characters are going through. We as viewers also get to soak up this film in all of it's beauty. Some viewers that are looking for explosions and things to jump at you maybe disappointed, this is the type of film that seeps into your subconscious, you experience a film like this almost as if it becomes one of your memories. However for those who do not like subtitles this film isn't bad, basically pay close attention at the beginning of each tale then there is very little dialogue. The score is also very unsettling, eerie and effective. David Ehrenstein a film critic for 30 years wrote a in depth synopsis in the dvd jacket and states, "while classic black and white chillers as the Uninvited, The Innocents, and The Haunting teasingly speculate on the existence of ghosts, this lavish wide screen and color production deals with the spirit world head-on, as something completely and frighteningly real."

There are four separate stories in Kwaidan. With 58 in depth insightful reviews (at the time I'm writing this) for Kwaidan here on Amazon, and with Amazon itself providing a thorough review, there is no need repeating what has already been said.
I will say these four stories are very deep and could be taken and analyzed in many different ways. I also noticed perhaps films that were influenced by some of Kwaidan's eerie scenes such as "The Black Hair" in flims such as Ringu and Ju-on.
Criterion as always does an amazing job on their dvds, however there was little special features, for a Criterion dvd there isn't much besides the original theatrical trailer. With that said the transfer looked amazing and the colors pop off the screen, some Criterion dvds are the closest in video quality to an actual hd image, even better in some cases with such pristine transfers.
Kwaidan is a must for any film lover. More specifically fans of ghosts and supernatural horror such as The Haunting, The Innocents, and The Twilight zone series who want to see something unique, something that is scary and eerie and believes itself and it's material without having to shock you with exploding heads. This is one if not the best ghost story film i have seen to date.

Kwaidan.......2007-06-27

A subtle, spooky masterpiece from Japan's Toho Studios, the moody "Kwaidan" is based on stories by Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-American writer who emigrated to Japan and immersed himself in the culture. Directed with cool, unhurried precision by Kobayashi, and filmed entirely on studio lots, the movie is decidedly eerie and atmospheric, a supernatural fusion of feudal Japanese settings and Western chills. Fine acting, superb lighting effects, an unnerving music score and otherworldly set design heighten the nightmarish effect of "Kwaidan"'s ghostly dramas.

Etheral, moody, terrifying, beautiful, magnificent..........2007-05-19

This is one of my favorite horror films. To call it a horror film somewhat diminishes the work because the films is so rich, both visually and thematically, that it shouldn't be pidgeonholed in any category. It's an anthology film with 4 stories, The Black Hair, Woman in the Snow, Hoichi the Earless, and In a Cup of Tea. The stories all unfold quietly and deliberately, building a beautiful tension and sense of place. This is the type of "horror" film I really like, one that is moody, that draws you in quietly and leaves you haunted and uneasy after you leave the theater (in other words, not the typical gory, violent garbage peddled by current day filmmakers). My favorite is Hoichi the Earless. It is rather gruesome (as you will soon discover). But I also like The Black Hair, which is a rather moving story in addition to being frightening. The art direction, photography, and direction are truly stunning. This films HAS to be seen in widescreen. I initially saw it in a really bad VHS transfer from a company called Video Yesteryear. They were known for their awful transfers. Criterion gives the film the magnificent treatment it deserves. This is also the full length version, as the episode "The Woman of the Snow" was cut for the initial American run. This is a great example of Japanese filmmaking.

Scary Japanese ghost stories.......2006-11-02

Gorgeous sets and costumes power four ghost stories set in ancient Japan.

In the first story, the Black Hair, a samurai leaves his life of poverty with his first wife to marry a wealthy woman. His new life eventually sours and he returns to find his true love, only to discover that things as not as they appear.

In the second, the Woman of the Snow, two woodcutters are forced to seek shelter during a blizzard. There they encounter a malicious female spirit who can kill with her breath.

In the third, Hoichi the Earless, the ghosts of the defeated Heiki from the battle of Dan no Ura haunt the cemetery near a small temple. A blind musician living their encounters the ghosts but doesn't realize who or what they are. Veteran actor Takashi Shimura of Seven Samurai and Godzilla fame makes an appearance as the head priest.

In the forth, In a Cup of Tea, a samurai is haunted by a ghostly image reflecting in his drinking cup. The story is told from the point of view of an unfinished manuscript, leading up to a dramatic ending when we encounter the author.

Each story is well crafted, combining slow buildups to sudden scenes of horror. All in all a worthy venture into Japanese ghost stories.

A Hauntingly Beautiful Masterpiece Of Cinema.......2006-08-05

This wonderful cinematic masterpiece is highly recommended. Kwaidan centers on four visually beautiful and hauntingly stunning stories of the supernatural. The visual effects of Kwaidan alone are remarkable, especially considering that this great film was released in 1964. CRITERION has done an excellent job [as usual] with the transfer. I like all of the episodes in Kwaidan, however, my favorite is "Hoichi the Earless." It is the tale of a blind musician monk who sings ballads to ghosts. Unfortunately for the monk, each time he plays and recounts the epic battles before these ghosts he becomes weaker. The other monks try to rid the blind monk of these spirits, including a senior monk played by the great, and legendary actor Takashi Shimura.

The monks write a holy mantra over the blind monks body in order to protect him from the ghosts he plays for each night. This is done to make the blind monk invisible to the ghost of the samurai warrior who visits him each night and calls him forth to play for the other ghosts. However, the monks forget to write the mantra on his ears. When the ghost arrives, all he sees are the monks ears. I will leave the rest of the story for you viewers to watch. A truly great episode. Another great episode is the one titled, "In A Cup Of Tea." You viewers will be pleasantly surprised by these great stories brought to the screen by one of my favorite directors, Masaki Kobayashi. The same director who brought the world the great films "Harakiri" and "Samurai Rebellion."

One of the things you will notice in these four incredible tales of the supernatural, directed by Kobayashi, is the incredible colors in the film. Moreover, Kobayashi also gives the viewer ghost stories which are extremely creepy, and filled with the nuance of terror which I still find creepy and eerie every time I view this beautiful masterpiece. Further, the cinematography is just incredible. I saw this film for the first time in 1968, and this film has never lost its appeal for me. It is highly recommended. The first story in the film deals with a masterless samurai [Ronin] who leaves his wife. I once thought that this was one of the weaker stories, I have since come to find it one of the eeriest of all the tales in KWAIDAN. This is a highly, highly recommended classic. It is not only for horror buffs, but those who appreciate the nuance of horror, and great drama. This film is a cinematic masterpiece. [Stars: 5+]

Further adventures of Wu Tung, the lascivious god of Carnal Desire, in which he actually falls for one of his conquests, only to see her destroyed by other gods. Enraged, he demands reparation from the girl's village in the form of a virgin every month. The suitor of one of the candidates takes exception to this and ambushes and wounds Wu Tung-who then reveals an androgynous aspect of his already dubious personality. The female Wu Tung cures her wounded male component and together they descend on the hapless village. Saturated with exceptionally well-done eroticism and sex, which occasionally crosses the line into porn. The closing sequence, though definitely a horror scene, contains some of the most poetic and primal erotic images ever seen on the silver screen.
