Trivia

The idea to produce a film based on "The Wind in the Willows" (1908) was suggested to Walt Disney in 1938. Since the novel featured anthropomorphic animals, it was thought that animation would be the ideal medium for an adaptation. Disney secured the rights to the novel the same year. See more »
