Synopsis
Kenneth Grahame's classic adventure continues with The Wind in the Willows, featuring the further adventures of Toad and company. With amazingly detailed sets that recreate Mole End, Toad Hall and the Wild Wood, these episodes capture the spellbinding stop-motion genius of Cosgrove Hall Productions. Toad, Mole, Rat, and Badger do their best to maintain the simple pleasures of life, even as the pesky weasels lurk nearby. Filled with music and song- and plenty of tea and jam- our gentlemanly quartet always finds a way to traverse life's ups and downs with aplomb.
