Disc 1: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Ed Begley, Jr. stars as Ichabod Crane, the superstitious new schoolmaster who finds himself competing for the heart of Katrina (Beverly D'Angelo) and comes face-to-face with Sleepy Hollow's most famous resident, the Headless Horseman. Pecos Bill: Steve Guttenberg portrays Pecos Bill, the 'King of the Cowboys,' in this rootin' tootin' epic. When his rowdy behavior gets him run out of town, he heads for Mexico where he save the state of Texas from drought. Also stars Rebecca De Mornay, comedian Martin Mull and Will & Grace's Megan Mullally. Casey at the Bat: Elliott Gould stars as Casey Frank, a down-on-his-luck baseball player who follows his dream to become the biggest star in the game. Carol Kane, Bob Uecker and Howard Cosell co-star in this spirited salute to both an American legend and 'America's pastime.'"--Container.

Disc 2: "Darlin' Clementine: Shelley Duvall beings this endearing tale to life portraying Clementine, a lonely woman who takes care of everyone around her and whose father learns a valuable lesson about taking advantage of those you love. Ed Asner, David Dukes and a pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards also star in this classic American folk tale. Johnny Appleseed Johnny Appleseed (Martin Short) travels across the land with a cooking pot on his head and his pockets filled with apple seeds and shows that there's nothing wrong with being an individual. This award-winning folk tale also stars Molly Ringwald and the multi-talented Rob Reiner. Ponce de Lyon The search for youth has never been so much fun as Ponce (Michael York) teams up with Lucy (Sally Kellerman), the Lady Pirate, in the ultimate adventure."--Container.

Disc 3: John Henry: 'On the night John Henry was born, lighting bolts shaped like nine-pound hammers filled the sky,' and from that day on, John Henry (Danny Glover) was known as the extraordinary boy who became an extraordinary man. Davy Crockett The multi-talented Mac Davis brings the story of America's coonskin-capped pioneer to life. On the wild frontier, Davy Crockett earns a reputation for bravery and courage and proves that anything is possible. Annie Oakley: Jamie Lee Curtis stars as the famous Annie Oakley 'Little Miss Sure Shot' in this charming portrayal of the legendary markswoman. This enchanting tale also stars Brian Dennehy as Buffalo Bill Cody."--Container.
