Any frame of this picture can be frozen and made into a painting, it's just that good (it shows how lazy Disney animators have become in the digital age.)
The 1979 version is a TV movie that is all-around lousy, save for Jeff Goldblum's performance as Ichabod Crane.
The 1986 version was made for Showtime for Shelly Duvall's Tall Tales and Legends. It's a visually striking film, but Ed Begley Jr.'s portrayal of Ichabod is just plain painful.
The last one, the 1999 version, is the Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp. Probably the best adaptation next to the Disney film.
