The Wind in the Willows (1985)	comment	The Wind in the Willows is a 1985 Animated Adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic novel. Produced by Rankin/Bass it was done in an animesque style similar to their adaptation of The Last Unicorn; the animation was by Wang Film Productions. The film itself was completed in 1985 but didn't air on ABC until 1987 and has the bittersweet distinction of being the last production from the Rankin/Bass studio.Like many Rankin/Bass productions this one also boasts an All-Star Cast: Charles Nelson Reilly as the incorrigible Mr. Toad of Toad Hall Roddy McDowall as the dreamy and poetic Rat Eddie Bracken as the shy and modest Mole José Ferrer as the gruff and solitary, but kind Badger

The Wind in the Willows (1985) / int_319e4a2f	type	Even Evil Has Standards
The Wind in the Willows (1985) / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Parodied with the weasels during their Villain Song. They proceeded to make a mess of Toad Hall by hosting a never ending party but according to the Chief Weasel they are still gentlemen and should refrain from specific unmmanerly actions even while thrashing the place. Humorously, while he objects to the weasels helping themselves to Toad's port wine, he views it as perfectly fine for them to guzzle his gin, ale, and regular wine.

The Wind in the Willows (1985) / int_4a5fcde	comment	Adaptational Alternate Ending: Inverted into an alternate beginning. Unlike the book - which starts with Mole doing his spring cleaning - this version starts with Toad trying out his new boat and disturbing others on the river.

The Wind in the Willows (1985) / int_5a40d6a	type	Adaptation Distillation
The Wind in the Willows (1985) / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: This is probably one of the most faithful adaptations out there: the only thing it leaves out are Otter, and the visit to Mole End — instead we get a brief scene of Mole being homesick after he and Ratty leave the Wild Wood. The film even finds a clever way to include "The Piper and the Gates of Dawn" and "Wayfarers All" into the story by combing the two events and moving them near the end of the story. Ratty is wistful of how everything is changing and the Sea Rat comes along and invites him to a life of roving. Mole finds Ratty's goodbye note and proceeds to go to see Badger. Badger runs into him to enlist his help to find his nephew Portly. The two then split up. Mole under the guidance of Pan, finds Ratty who abandoned his dreams of roving when he came across Portly. Badger then runs into him and reveals he also found Toad on the riverbank, having been led to him by Pan. Most adaptations have Toad relapse by buying an air plane; this adaption ends with Toad after soaking up his friends praise of his humility at his banquet decides to become a Holier Than Thou philanthropist instead because only Toad could turn charity and humility into another excuse to boast.
