An animated retelling of Washington Irving's tale about a man who falls into a deep sleep and wakes up twenty years later to a very different world.

An animated retelling of Washington Irving's tale about a man who falls into a deep sleep and wakes up twenty years later to a very different world.

Alice Paul and Lucy Burns were two defiant suffragist women who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. The two activists broke from the mainstream women's rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries to secure women's voting rights in 1920. In a country dominated by chauvinism, this is no easy fight. Along the way, sacrifices are made: Alice gives up a chance for love, and collegue Inez Mulholland gives up her life.

In Washington Irving's haunting early American tale, viewers follow the likeabe but lazy Rip Van Winkle into the Catskill Mountains, where he meets a band of odd fellows.
