5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Entertaining, 8 Aug 2003
By R. Spooner (UK: Midlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved it as a child, and it hadn't aged when I bought it on DVD as a adult. The picture quality is pretty good and some effort appears to have gone into the additional features on the disk, which is unusual for DVD's so early on the life of the format. As for the feature itself, the humour is very very good, the narrative so well written, a wonderful collection of characters, and excellent animation. What more could we ask for? True all round entertainment that everyone should be given the chance to see at least once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, 15 Feb 2003
By Rosie Rutabaga "angelpig" (Portland, ME, USA) - See all my reviews
Stop motion animation doesn't get better than this exquisitely rendered Edwardian-era jewel. Flawlessly acted by a wonderful cast, this is the definitive Rat, Mole, Badger and, of course, the irrepressible Toad. Wind in the Willows is one of the cosiest and most comforting books ever written, and this version is wonderfully true to the original. It has enchanted every child in my family and delighted the adults as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best!, 18 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I've loved this film since I was about 10!
And now having the opportunity to own it on dvd for such a cheap price was an offer I pounced on!!!
It's good to replace the old vhs copy that by now is losing colour quality and picture clarity after so many playings.
I was amazed by the perfect quality of the dvd edition! Simply amazing!!!
The film is as entertaining as always and the extras add a pinch of salt. The interview with Brian Cosgrove is informative & funny, the picture gallery is wonderful (with images that also make fantastic desktop displays) although with regard to the interactive game (quiz) and the character bios, you will probably only view them once.
In short, an amazingly important DVD release. Now what fans want is the 60 or so 30 minute episodes that were shown in series format, such as Toad founding his own Newspaper (Toad Hall Times) and Taking up fishing as a hobby, only to inadvertedly 'catch' chief weasil in the act of stealing his motor bicycle combination!!! LoL ~ this comedy is insurpassable!!!
