The Wind In the Willows

Written and directed by Terry Jones, who also stars as Toad, this brilliant screen adaptation of the Kenneth Grahame children's classic The Wind In The Willows will delight children and adults alike. Jones has brought signature elements to the film, loading it with his own blend of humor and adding several new twists to the story. This dramatic and hilarious journey follows the adventures of Toad, Mole (Steve Coogan), Rat (Eric Idle) and Badger (Nicol Williamson) as they try to save their world from encroaching "progress." While the colorful characters struggle with the conflict between the idealized riverbank and the menace of the outside world, Toad leads the group on a quest for continued serenity. Audiences will love this perennial family favorite that ranks alongside such classics as Winnie the Pooh and The Tales of Beatrix Potter.
