    • Trivia
      After Sony Pictures dumped this movie after its 1997 U.S. theatrical release, actor, writer, and director Terry Jones struggled trying to get this movie published, but no Hollywood distributor wanted to take it. That was until in 1998, Walt Disney Home Video bought the American rights to this movie, added in a few sound effects, and even changed the title after the name of the rides at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" (though the Walt Disney World Version of the ride closed that same year). It was released onto VHS in 1999 and onto DVD in 2004.
    • Goofs
      Although Badger and Rat swapped the labels round on the barrels to make sure that the explosives were delivered to the factory, the plunger would presumably have still been wired up to the ones in Toad Hall, so there shouldn't have been any explosion at all when the Chief Weasel pressed it.
    • Quotes

      The Judge: Before I pass sentence, will the jury care to find him guilty?

      Rat: Wait. One of those wabbits is a weasel.

      Chief Weasel: No I'm not. I'm a rabbit!

      The Judge: [to the jury] Is he a rabbit?

      Chief Weasel: [whispers] Say I'm a rabbit.

      [Rabbits all nod, say "Rabbit" and stroke their long ears]

      Rat: That weasel is never a wabbit!

    Wonderful!
    Terry Jones's adaptation of "Wind in the Willows" is wonderful!! I found it very interesting to watch, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I'm not usually a fan of Disney movies, but I saw this and flipped! I loved it! I think people who don't like this movie really don't appreciate the wonderful Terry Jones. Yes, I understand some of the humor is a little "adult" for some of the younger viewers, but there is plenty for them as well (I mean, as a former python, how could Jones resist a few jokes here and there). The kids will laugh at Mr. Toad's zany exploits trying to get his motor car! Even funnier is Mole, Rat, and Badger trying to cure him! What else to say... I just thought this was a wonderful film, and a must see for (a)Disney Lovers (b) Python Lovers (c) and people who just want to see a different adaptation on a movie!!
