The Wind in the Willows is a 1996 comedy film based on the novel of the same name. The film was adapted and directed by Terry Jones, who also starred as Toad, with Steve Coogan as Mole and Eric Idle as Rat. (Fellow Monty Python alumni John Cleese and Michael Palin have cameos, while Terry Gilliam had to decline one due to other commitments.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In this live action adaptation, the Talking Animal characters are depicted as mostly human but with a few indicative animal features: for instance, Toad has green skin, while Rat has a long nose and prominent whiskers.The novel's episodic structure is streamlined into a more linear plot driven by a Community-Threatening Construction masterminded by the Weasels.

Chekhov's Gun: Toad's tongue. At first it's just an amusing Furry Reminder (he uses it to eat a dragonfly); later he uses it to help him escape over a high prison wall.

Community-Threatening Construction: The weasels tear up the field where Mole lives in order to build a dog-food factory, and their grand plan is to dynamite the ancestral stately home Toad Hall and replace it with an abattoir. Their plan is foiled by Rat switching the dynamite with a shipment of bones destined for the factory, resulting in the weasels accidentally blowing up the factory.
