  Hey there, my small amount of Letterboxd friends. I haven't seen you cats in awhile.

  So I've recently moved out of the house and I'm currently living with another individual (I am 18, just so you're aware). My room-mate is a 64 year old homosexual named Hart, and he's one of the best men I've ever grown to know. However, as I've found out this evening, Hart has a nag for making me experience horrible feelings of dread and despair. Whilst watching the John Waters' classic, 'Female Trouble', I was awkwardly interrupted and asked by Hart if I wanted to stop watching the film I was currently enjoying so I could go and watch a film with him that I…

  Review by Ryan McSwain ★★★½

  I'm a huge fan of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, to the point I read the entire novel to my long-suffering young son. And I read the whole thing in my terrible British accent. I'm pretty much the worst.

  This film, however, is not the worst. It's much better than I expected from the reviews, although not as good as I hoped from the cast. Matt Lucas as Toad and Bob Hoskins as Badger are dream castings, at least for me.

  Unlike the 1996 Monty Python version, this outing keeps most of the plot from the source material, including the shamanistic Chapter 7, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I think the stop motions series from the…

  Review by Peter Spencer ★★★

  It's a rather silly yet somewhat amusing adaptation.
  However, it could never be as good as the 1996 adaptation...

  Matt Lucas as a marvellous Toad, Mark Gatiss as a spiky rat, Lee Ingleby as a nervous Mole, and Bob Hoskins as a grumpy old Badger make a classy cast within yet another version of Kenneth Grahame's classic book.

  Comparing well with the Python-heavy 1996 version, which got lost in music and a mincemeat factory plot, this has many pluses in its favour - the best of all being the famous 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' chapter covered in full, with all its ethereal magic. Plenty, then, to enthrall children and interest adults who happen to be watching with or without them.

  Live-action Wind in the Willows adaptations seldom offer much, but Hoskins as Badger is perfectly inspired casting

  Review by Moria ★★½

  Kenneth Grahame’s book The Wind in the Willows (1908) is a much adored children’s classic. It is adapted to the stage in various pantomime versions with seasonal regularity. There have been numerous tv adaptations including Thames’s 1983 animated film, the live-action American-made The Wind in the Willows (1983), a stop-motion animated tv series (1984-8), the Rankin-Bass animated The Wind in the Willows (1987), an animated British-made Christmas special Mole’s Christmas, the live-action British The Adventures of Mole, and the British-made animated The Wind in the Willows (1996). Actual theatrical film adaptations have been scarce – an episode of Disney’s animated anthology The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and only one full feature-length adaptation with Terry Jones’ The Wind in…
