This is the latest version on dvd of the Wind in the Willows which was released out on dvd 26/03/2007. I found this version of the classic tale to be the greatest version yet and i think Matt Lucas from little Britain play a quality character as good old Mr Toad. This dvd will appeal to children and adults alike, definately a must see film.
The film is set in the english countryside with lovely picturesque views, the dialogue of the characters and the scenes in which they find themselves in leaves you wishing you yourself were a rich toad going off on wild adventures or having picnics and trips in your little rowing boat across the river.
costumes - very detailed, although i doubt anyone would want to wear the simple clothes of Mole or Badger, the lovely suits worn by Mr Toad, Rat and the weasels are simply divine.
soundtrack - very upbeat and jolly music when all is well and good but things turn sinister when theres a weasel around.
story - The weasels have bought a field from Mr Toad leaving poor Mole (lee ingleby) without a place to call home, Mole strikes a friendship with Rat (Mark Gatiss) and the pair of them take a leisurely boat trip. The pair find out about Mr Toads new infamous obsession with Motor cars and how the weasels are trying to get their paws on Toad Hall so they endevour to tell Badger (Bob Hoskins).
The trio then imprison Mr Toad until he relentlesslypursues his obsession with the fiended motor veichles but Mr Toad will have none of this and cunningly escapes only to steal a car and get arrested. He is then Imprisoned within the worst jail in England for a very, very, very long time; much to the weasels pleasure.
HE'S ESCAPED!... travel with Mr Toad the rest of the way along with Mole and Rat, see how Toad steals boats and finally retakes his beloved Toad Hall.
The product - The case contains one disc which includes some special features : The futher adventures of Toad (28 minutes behind the scenes documentary and a photo gallery of diffrent scenes from the DVD.
