Corrected entry: This film is set in 1799, but the kind of optical effect that Ichabod Crane used with the cardinal in the cage, the thaumatrope, was invented in 1825.
Correction: It was OFFICIALLY invented in 1825. Apparently Ichabod's mother invented it, but they never patented it or showed it around much, so it did not become known to the public.
