Synopsis

A live-action version of the classic story by Kenneth Grahame, featuring several members of the Monty Python comedy team. Toad of Toad Hall (director Terry Jones) is a whimsical fellow who is apprehended for driving too fast in his motorcar. The next thing he knows, a gang of weasels is trying to demolish Toad Hall and turn it into a dog food factory. A quirky and charming family film that was overlooked on its original release.

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

By A Customer
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 Wind in the Willows - delightful film, 27 Feb 2006
By J. Sims "bin crazy" (Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found the film very entertaining for both adults and children. There are lots of clever and interesting things to observe and it's quite delightful. The acting is superb and it's great to see the Wind in the Willows acted by real actors. There are so many famous faces in this film - all excellent comedians - and many from Monty Python days. What a pity it didn't actually go on general release to cinemas - a treat the general public missed.
