Mr. Toad Question

[surfsupdon]

About 12 years ago, on the Disney Channel, they had an animated movie with Toad and crew, I could have sworn it was called Wind in the Willows. I never saw it again, so I bought The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad on video, but was dismayed to see that this was not the version I wanted.

Does anyone know where i can find and buy this version of Wind in the Willows? It would be amazing for me to find. All I can remember now, at age 20, are the wesels that took over Toad Hall and Toad and friends have to go inside and beat them. Also, I remember a scene where I think Ratty or Moley walks through the woods to Badgers House and the trees sorta come to life. I repeat, it was not the original Adventure of Ichabod and Mr Toad.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

thanks--don

Ahh Wind in the Willows. Now that’s a name I haven't herd in a long long time. I believe that Wind in the Willows was the stop motion series it was on either Nick or Disney i cant really remember. The show was biased on the book Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. I know the movie that your talking about were the weasels (because they possessed the deed) took toad hall and the plot revolved around Toad, Ratty, Badger, and co. trying to get it back. (15 min later) Found it Wind In The Willows - A Tale Of Two Toads that’s the name Ha Ha who’s the master now!!

heres some info on " The wind in the Willows" which was part of the larger feature of "The adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad " which is all animation
Made at the end of the first age of Disney animation, "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" consists of two separate animated adaptations of classic stories. The Ichabod of the title is Ichabod Crane from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", and the Mr. Toad is J. Thaddeus Toad from the "Wind in the Willows". Each is short, running only about 35 minutes apiece, and is narrated by top of the line actors, Basil Rathbone doing the honors for "The Wind in the Willows", and Bing Crosby for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". I've not read either story so can't judge the adaptations accuracy

Also there was a live action feature Disney produced called Mr Toads wild ride in 1996 with some of the cast of Monty Pythons flying curcus
