5.0 out of 5 stars Poop Poop, a wonderful film!, 21 Dec 2002

AY War Horse "angemoon" (Near York, England, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wind in the Willows (1996) [DVD] (DVD)

I just love this film, whenever I am down I put it on. At first I had the video (OK first I saw it at the cinema then I got the video) and it is running out and so was overjoyed to find that it is out on DVD. Now if you are looking for a faithful rendition of the Wind in the Willows story you may be a little disappointed. But if you just wish to see the tale with a new and comical twist then this is great film. Only downside is that badger is not fierce enough! But toad is gloriously pompous and Ratty is ever loving his river. The extra features are great especialy the part where you can sing along to 4 of the songs, the Weasels song, toads song, Ratty on the river and the charming song the Badger, Mole, Rat and Toad sing in friendship. The sad thing is that there is no sing-along for the end title tune which I also love.

I would not be without a copy of this film in my house because it is very funny and always cheers me up. I would hope that it will do the same for anyone who buys and or watches this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wind in the Willows DVD, 24 Mar 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Wind in the Willows (1996) [DVD] (DVD)

A fair effort at portraying the classic story and very true to the book. This DVD is fantastic for kids simply because of its special features sing-a-long section, it keeps them amused for hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars good fun, 4 Jun 2002

Mr. P. W. Martin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Wind in the Willows [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)

this is a good version of a classic tale. the use of real actors adds a real element of acting. it does alter the story in minor ways, but captures the essence of the book. the singing is remeniscent of frederick ashton's ballet version of "the tales of beatrix potter". there are some very good cameo acting roles- watch out for the chief weasel! good fun
