"The genius of the film comes from how innocent the film is when it first begins but gradually shows it's darker side until we get to the climactic appearance of the Headless Horseman himself. I wouldn't be surprised if this film scarred for life some kids who saw it the first time. For a Disney film that was produced in 1949 it definitely had a high-level of scare when put in the context that it was advertised as a kid's film. If this film had been produced in this day and age I don't think it would've made it out of the ratings board with a G-rating. They definitely don't make animated films like this nowadays and that is a shame." - Arleigh, Through The Shattered Lens
