The Medium is the Message

I remember watching the Disney rendition of "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" as a kid and thinking to myself, That guy is so freaking skinny, how did he eat so much?  But now that I've read the story, I know that there was a lot more to this guy's story than I really knew.  The book produced so much more of a humorous look at Ichabod Crane.  Also, after reading the book, I noticed that Disney left out a whole lot of things that made the book so much more, in-depth, and that made the movie that much more childish (well, duh.).  The movie just showed the thing between him and Brom Bones as the main problem in the story.

Overall, dug the story way more than the movie.
