The Wind in the Willows (1983)

This 1983 film adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic novel remains faithful to the spirit and prose of the original tale as it brings to life the timeless adventures of Rat, Mole, Badger, and Toad. Viewers familiar with the book, set in early 20th-century Britain, will at once be charmed by stop-motion animation's exquisite renderings of this quartet of friends. Bespectacled Mole, a shy yet inquisitive chap who detests spring cleaning, joins kind-hearted Ratty and the two set off for a day on the river. Their journey leads them to the home of venerable Badger, their stern yet sagacious comrade. Of course, the star of the show is irrepressible Toad, who steers himself into all sorts of mischief because of a motor car obsession.
