- The scene where Ichabod Crane crosses the covered bridge and hears the frogs underneath croaking "Ichabod" and "Headless Horseman" is a tribute to Disney's 1949 animated version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" in which Ichabod Crane, crossing a bridge, hears the frogs croaking the same words.

Quotes from Johnny Depp:

"I always thought Roddy [McDowall] had such an interesting gift, just great presence, great delivery. He was an interesting actor, one of those guys who was very individual. Angela Lansbury was a great inspiration. I loved how she was in Death on The Nile. I found her fascinating. These two were the most inspirational characters. Maybe a little bit of Basil Rathbone, but a lot more girlie."
--Johnny Depp
