5.0 out of 5 stars CBC Masterpiece Theatre, The Wind in The Willows Jan 24 2012
By Wendy Mathias
We watched this story on televison and had waited for it to be shown again but never caught it. I was really pleased to find it listed in the collection offered by Amazon and purchsed it as a Christmas gift for our family. It was read to me as a child. The whole idea of these charming little animals going about their everyday lives in cozy dwellings in the wild along a riverbank, underground or in a tree stump complete with all amenities including pantry and fireplace, is captivating. This Masterpiece Theatre rendition puts a twist on the story with humans portraying the characters of the animals. The actors do a fabulous job complete with little quirks like whisker grooming, nose tweeking, the myopic squinting of Mole, etc. Toad is fat, frumpy and totally out of control with his obsessive interest in machines in motion. I have watched it several times and it is sure to be family classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great theatre Aug 30 2010
By Barrie Chamberlain
Amazon Verified Purchase
A very enjoyable representation of age old classic. Done with the sincerity one would usually expect from fine British thespians engaged in some classic theatre. Raises the calibre of children's nonsense to a fine art form.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as beautiful as the book, but quite funny July 17 2007
By Mr Triscuit - Published on Amazon.com
This is perhaps my favorite book of all time. This version stays fairly close to the book, although much is skipped over for time purposes. The incredible lyricism of the book is almost entirely lost in this rendition, unfortunately. However, Matt Lucas' Toad is, if possible, even funnier than in the book. Side splittingly, tear jerkingly funny. He is a joy to watch. I was disappointed that they completely glossed over my favorite chapter of the book - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but that might be hard to do justice in video/film form. Suitable for kids, adults will be disappointed if looking for a dramatic masterpiece. If you haven't read the book - do so. If you've read it to your kids, they will enjoy this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Good Flick May 10 2007
By Jason Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
I saw this version when it originaly aired on PBS and I was very imppressed . My favorite actor was Matt Lucas Of Little Britain fame . He made the movie for me . Not to mention the great Bob Hoskins . I wish I remembered the other actors names seeing that they were great in their roles as well . If you are a fan of the original story or the other versions you will probably like this one as well .
