Movie Info

Mr. Toad (Terry Jones) lives in a mansion, but his obsession with motorcars is taking a toll on his finances. He sells his meadow to the sinister Chief Weasel (Antony Sher), but neglects to tell Mole (Steve Coogan), who lives underneath the field in a cozy burrow. After Mole moves in with his friend Rat (Eric Idle), they learn that Toad is in jail and that his lawyer (John Cleese) is no help. The two friends hatch a plan to find their pal Badger (Nicol Williamson) and free Toad from prison.

Audience Reviews for The Wind in the Willows

Nov 12, 2008

Imaginative certainly but I have a gripe with the writer/director/actor messing around with Grahame's original story and adding silly things like a dog food factory. Should have stuck with the original novel and would have made the whole thing more magical rather than saturated Python for kids. The cast are all good though, with particular credit to Coogan and Sher. A missed opportunity.
