The Wind in the Willows (1983)
Infectious charm
19 January 2024 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I am generally not a fan of older movies, and old children's movies are usually no exception. However this movie holds up incredibly well despite being older than me (36). It just has a delightful infectious quality and is more charming than it deserves to be. I recently read the book and was disappointed as it feels like a collection of disjointed meandering anecdotes. This format creates a tighter more satisfying story arc without losing the incredible fun of the toad character which Graham's genius gifted to the world so many years ago. I have not seen any other versions but I still suspect this would be the best. My 3 young children gave it high marks as well.
