i have be a sleepy hollow affectionado ever since i saw the animated disney classic a a kid and and i suppose i have see pretty much every version from tv and movie and and cartoon since the 1950 . in many way and the disney one be still my favorite . i love the tim burton film with johnny depp and but something about it wasn not right . in a world where biblical name be commonplace and ichabod be a most unflattering name and mean the glory have depart but ichabod crane and originally not the nice of men and have become a hero over the year . depp ichabod be too handsome and brave and and there be no nyc police in 1799 and let alone forensics specialist . and so jeff goldblum remain probably the best cast ichabod crane of all time . he have a look similar to the disney one and but he have a much more pleasant manner and burton film and be ghostly and mysterious and well do . the subplot with a brutish brom bone ( wasn not bram the hunky one . ) and a girl friend ( not katrina ) ain not that great but the overall film be very enjoyable and and seem to have quite a fan follow . a good halloween tale for all age .
