* MouseWorld: The ''Wind in the Willows'' segment is an interesting variation, in that the animal characters interact with human ones and nobody thinks it the least bit odd.

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The ambiguity of Ichabod's fate. The story takes place in the late 1700's, during the infancy of the United States, long before reliable communication, long-range transportation, photography, or really any way to confirm the truth other than seeing it with your own eyes, and a time when most people lived their entire lives in the place they were born. The word of the occasional traveller that Ichabod was still alive somewhere far away would sound like a bigger fairy tale than the Headless Horseman. Of course, it probably helps that Ichabod being "spirited away" makes for a better story to the townsfolk.

* CarnivoreConfusion: And incidentally, one of the most confusing examples ever. Not only do Rat and Mole have a roast turkey for Christmas, but it's also small enough to fit on their dinner table. And considering that the animals are drawn to scale in this story, it almost suggests that one of these anthropomorphized animals killed a three-inch turkey. Though it could've just as easily been some kind of songbird, like a sparrow or finch.

* AdaptationExpansion: Cyril's role is expanded on, as becomes not only Toad's horse but his best friend and partner in crime; he appears as a witness at Toad's trial and helping him to bust out of prison. In the book, he was simply an unnamed, non-speaking horse.

Released in [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1949]], ''The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad'' is the 11th film in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, and the last of the six (or seven, if you count ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'') "[[AnthologyFilm package films]]" created by the studio in the 1940s before they returned to full-length feature animation with ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''. Like ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree'', it is a collection of two short films, bundled together to make one feature-length movie. Despite the title, the two eponymous characters' stories — which have nothing to do with one another — are actually presented in the reverse order:

* SuddenDownerEnding: One that's PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:Toad and his friends manage to retrieve the deed from Mr. Winky and the weasels, proving Toad's innocence and presumably landing Winky and the weasels in jail. However, as everyone gathers to celebrate their victory, Toad suddenly disrupts the celebration by recklessly flying an airplane over Toad Hall with Cyril, showing that he has learned nothing from the ordeal and will continue to create headaches for [=MacBadger=], Ratty, and Mole with his manias in the future.]]

* BackfireOnTheWitnessStand: In his trial for car theft, Toad swears that he bought the motorcar fair and square, trading it for the deed to Toad Hall. He calls Mr. Winkie, proprietor of the tavern where the deal took place, to corroborate. Toad introduces him as "a man of unimpeachable honesty". Once Winkie takes the witness stand, however, he shamelessly lies in order to incriminate Toad.
