The winner of the eventual prize 'Worst Animated Movie' if there ever was one...
16 July 2023
While from time to time I watch must-see movies and I never miss big releases in theaters, I often feel the need of feeding my masochist side and seeing obscure movies with a reputation of being bad because I can find the good in the bad. Unfortunately, with this it didn't happened because it was so bad that it defied description.

Professor Ichabod Crane (voice by William Macy) arrives in the town of Sleepy Hollow and soon falls in love with Katrina Van Tassel. Ichabod is smart but also a coward, and he finds a competitor in Brom Bones (voice by Luke Perry) that wooed Katrina in the past: but there is a bigger problem with the Hessian Horseman (voice by Clancy Brown) that haunts Ichabod and when they meet it will change their lives forever... too bad the audience won't feel it.

The main reason why THE NIGHT OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is terrible is the animation. When it began it both gave me a migraine and the creeps, it's so dated that it looks like done before the 1980s and it's painfully ugly considering that in 1999 movies such as TOY STORY and ANTZ have already been released and they are much more rendered and pretty than this snot-fest. Sometimes the limbs of the characters aren't that coordinate, same goes with the eyes. And as it progressed, things didn't improved.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, not even to kids for punishing them if I really hated them because it's too bad and can cause brain-damage. Maybe it could be used in prisoner of war camps for torturing prisoners if they don't answer, but probably even the torturers will feel the brain going watery!
