Although The Wind in the Willows, particularly with the cast of old boys, may appeal more to adults, there is enough action and humor to keep everyone amused. Go to Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Worcester Telegram & Gazette 11/18/2005

The USA grossed over $72,800.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Oliver A Mar 17 I was only 6 when this film was released in the U.K. and my Dad bought a VHS tape of it for me as a present. I was instantly obsessed and enamoured. I’m a huge Steve Coogan fan now and I suppose this film was the first time I ever saw him in anything and he brought such pathos to the role. 5 stars and nobody can convince me otherwise. The weasel song in the wildwood is enough to earn it 5 stars alone.
