Although limited in comparison to the book, I was delighted with this quirky, simple film, the sets, the costuming, the directing, and the truly wonderful cast! It took me back to childhood, and made me giggle and smile throughout--and what in life is better than a few giggles and smiles?!

The Wind in the WIllows is a complex and beautiful tale. When producers are forced to boil it down into about 90 minutes a great deal of the substance of the story is lost. In this version "The Piper At The Gates of Dawn" and "Dulce Domum" are completely deleted, and some characters like Otter are also missing or barely covered.
Nevertheless this is a fine TV production which is faithful to much of the spirit and all of the beauty of the book. It is set in an Elysian Field of a countryside ... Read More

This movie is a treat--an imaginative combination of theatrical costumes and movie techniques. I would recommend it to adults and to any child old enough to have enjoyed the actual Kenneth Grahame book. I would watch it with the kid. It does have a shadow side--it's not a cartoon.

This re-telling of a classic was absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed it immensely, and laughed throughout the story. The use of human actors who take on a bit of animal characteristics (not unlike in the story where the animals take on very human characteristics) added so much to this production.
As mentioned before, Toad was absolutely spectacular, and really defined the character for the audience. I loved this, and after seeing it on PBS, am purchasing the DVD for home use.

This is a absolutely delightful version of the tales that gains it's strength from not being animated and the incredible performances of all of the real actors, particularly Toad and Badger. The tiniest tot to ancient adults will be enraptured by humans playing animals and the human actors allow the satire of the original stories to shine through. Don't miss it unless you care to wait for the HD version to come out which was even richer when shown originally by PBS in HD.
