Disney's retelling of the story of Ichabod Crane was released (along with an adaptation of Wind in the Willows) in theaters in 1949 as Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The Sleepy Hollow segment was shown on the "Disneyland" TV series on October 26, 1955, and included a short cartoon about the life of Washington Irving.  It was also included in Wonderful World of Disney's 1977 "Halloween Hall O' Fame" episode.

Bugs Bunny: Hyde and Hare (1955)

Bugs comes out of his rabbit hole in a city park every morning because a kind gentleman keeps coming to feed him a carrot. At first feigning a usual rabbit posture, Bugs eventually stands up and confides that he'd rather simply go home with the gentleman as a "pet", since it would be easier on both of them. As the gentleman brings Bugs home, the camera pans up to see that the name above the apartment is none other than Dr. Jekyll.
