About this Event
A family-friendly addition to our Home for Horror Series.: Disney’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949, 34 min.) followed by The Corpse Bride (2005, 77min.)
THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW – The Walt Disney Studios’ animated adaptation of Washington Irving’s tale — narrated and sung by Bing Crosby — remains one of the most enduring pieces of Sleepy Hollow storytelling ever made. In just 34 minutes, it captures Ichabod Crane’s arrival in the Hudson Valley, his rivalry with Brom Bones, and the fateful ride through the woods. Originally released as half of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, this short precedes select family features throughout the series. This one is home movies for us — we’re proud to open our screenings with it.
THE CORPSE BRIDE – Tim Burton and Mike Johnson’s Victorian-gothic stop-motion romance follows Victor, a nervous groom-to-be who accidentally weds a mysterious dead woman while practicing his vows in the forest. Whisked into the vibrant, jazz-hued Land of the Dead, he must find a way back to the living — and to his intended bride — without breaking his accidental promise. Voice work by Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Emily Watson anchors a story that is more melancholy than macabre. Family-friendly and beautifully strange.
