When I was but a child, I acted like a child, and I never truly appreciated this film for what it's worth on its own merit. I always compared this to the Disney version that was released in 1947 with Ichabod Crane. It took me more than twenty years to re-find my childhood and to really appreciate this film. Growing up means a lot of things, but appreciation of the arts is something you really do grow with, and I believe my heart grows.
The story itself is great, though, and has much more to offer than the 1947 Disney version, although I somehow feel like I am not being very loyal. The plot is thicker and really does make more sense. And watching this version without thinking about the Disney version, you'll appreciate the film and the work that went into it too. Believe me.
