Synopsis

This wonderful animated adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS follows a charismatic band of friends--Rat (Michael Palin), Mole (Alan Bennett), Badger (Michael Gambon), and the inimitable Toad (Rik Mayall)--on their wild adventures. Highlights of the film include Badger and Rat's battle to reclaim Toad Hall from a band of evil weasels and Mr. Toad's raucous escape from the police in a stolen car. Packed with comedy, fun, and high drama, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is a true classic--a universally loved tale brought to life by the superb animation techniques of some of Britain's finest artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one and only., 24 Sep 2005
This is the penultimate Wind in the Willows animation. This and the stop-motion animation of the same name made by Cosgrove Hall are the two definitive animations for this book bar none.
I have to warn you, DO NOT BUY the recent film or the American film, they are total codswollop and a complete and utter waste of money, as they are cheap and tacky productions.
These are the only two animations of this classic you will ever need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, 17 Dec 2003
By A Customer
What does one say? A wonderful version of the Kenneth Grahame novel with the unmatchable addition of Alan Bennett's voice. Makes me all warm and happy inside... A must buy for any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars One and only, 22 Dec 2006
By T. Oladosu "petitfute" (LDN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To date, this is the best film version of the Wind in the Willows that I have ever seen. The animation simply brings the story to life, its so rich and subtle yet some scenes are so vivid, in particular the scenes with the river flowing.

Due to the loyalty to the book the characters are beliveable, and not one dimentional, the expresion of the figures are so subtle and realistic, I must thank the genius who put this together, they did Kenneth Grahame work some justice.

Thankfully it lacks the predictability of disney and it doesn't behave like a musical. The little tunes such as; "when the toad came home" are witty and distinct, the emotions carried in the tones of the voices are brilliantly contagious and just one of the films carries you through a spectrum of these.

This is a unique and very beautiful animation and it is the only animated movie that I sincerly hope in future I will be able to enjoy with my own children as all minds deserve to be enriched by this and admittedly I as an adult repeatedly enjoy.
