The Wind in the Willows
If animals did have human qualities, humans would have gone to war with the cows years ago.
Fortunately, none of the anthropomorphic fauna in this animated movie are edible.
Suffering from spring fever, Mole (Richard Pearson) emerges from his subterranean home. During his constitutional he encounters his woodland colleagues Rat (Ian Carmichael) and Badger (Michael Hordern). Together, they arrange a picnic, followed by a visit to Toad Hall.
The latter, however, proves a wild ride as the lead footed Mr. Toad (David Jason) takes the trio on a whirlwind tour of the countryside in his roadster, which lands Toad in hot water.
Featuring an unforgettable Mr. Toad performance and finely detailed characters that are masterful manipulated, this brilliant stop-motion BBC adaptation of the misadventures of upper-crusty critters is now a classic in its own right.
More impressive is that foxhunting dogs haven't torn any of these beloved characters to shreds.
