If you were ever forced to read the book when you were younger, or had the chance to watch the Disney short adaptation, here’s your chance to see a feature length movie of adapting Wind in the Willows.
There’s not much to see, I was really hoping to see a better look at Mr. Toad or at least a look at the world the creatures will inhabit, but at least it isn’t a Tim Burton production (although it does look like it).

Well at least your not still bitter about it.
Uh…I don’t remember anything in the book seeming so…evil.
Toad definately has a maliciousness to him. The weasels too.
I was lucky enough to visit the WETA cave in New Zealand when I was there and they are fantastic. It’s a spoilerites dream.
Incidently, the cricket like insect that walks along with you a way is a Weta. Geek moment over. (yeah right!)
Really? Malicious?
I’d buy thoughtless or capricious, but he never sets out to deliberately do harm to anyone.
