The Wind in the Willows (1995) | comment |
The Wind in the Willows is a 1995 British Animated Adaptation of the classic 1908 novel of the same name by Kenneth Grahame. The film was directed by Dave Unwin and written by Ted Walker, and was produced by the now defunct TVC (Television Cartoons) in London.The film incorporates live action Book Ends with Vanessa Redgrave as a grandmother (who also acts as the narrator), reading the original novel to her grandchildren as they go out for a boat trip together. The film changes into an animated setting as soon as the grandmother opens the book and stays that for most of the runtime until she closes it again.It was well received by audiences and critics and a sequel, The Willows in Winter (1996), was made. | |

Furry Confusion | |
The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: Not particularly strong, but the main cast are either about the same size or bigger than the stoats and weasels. There are also a few realistically-portrayed animals, including horses and ducks. | |

The Dreaded: In the closing narration, Vanessa Redgrave informs us that Mr. Badger became this trope in the following days, and his name would often be invoked as a way to frighten disobedient children. Badger himself is apparently somewhat indignant over this, since despite his grouchy exterior, he is "rather fond of children. | |

Break the Haughty: Toad's humiliating arrest and imprisonment, during which he attempts to starve himself to death, but decides to live after all thanks to a kind jailer's daughter and some hot toast. Not to mention being chased by the police after escaping, and all the indignity he receives for his washerwoman disguise. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / Wicked Weasel: The weasels, and the related ferrets and stoats, are all nasty little crooks, sneaking into Toad Hall to take it over while Toad is in prison. They're eventually let go with a warning, though, as they promise to be good after being thrashed by Badger. | |

Adapted Out: Rat decides to start wandering on his own, without the Sea-rat's encouragement, in this version. The mice who come to Mole's door singing Christmas carols are cut. In the book, after Toad steals the bargewoman's horse, he sells it to a Romani man he encounters on the road. This man is not included in the film, leaving it unclear what he did with the horse. | |

Don't Go in the Woods: In an early scene, Rat advises Mole to steer clear of the Wild Wood. Foolishly, Mole does eventually go into the Wood, hoping to visit Mr. Badger, and gets lost. Rat goes in to find him, but gets caught in the First Snow, and, disoriented, gets lost too. | |

Eerily Out-of-Place Object: A benevolent example when Rat and Mole are lost in the Wild Wood after the First Snow of the year. Right in the middle of the forest, they happen upon a doorscraper, and then a doormat. Rat deduces that there is probably a door nearby as well... there are in fact, right on the doorstep of Badger, who is happy to give them shelter. | |

Fat Bastard: The rotund Hanging Judge who takes sadistic pleasure in sentencing Toad for a ridiculously long time. Toad sees the stout bargewoman as this, although it's clear to the viewer that he is actually the bastard in their interactions. She looks quite justifiably upset when he makes insulting reference to her weight. At the end, it's mentioned that he sent her a letter of apology. | |

Police Are Useless | |
The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Thoroughly averted. Although we don't see the arrest itself, the police do rightfully arrest Toad after he stole the car. When he escapes, they quickly realise that he escaped on the train and follow him in an engine of their own. If not for the kindly driver, Toad may very well have been caught then and there. Later still, when Toad crashes the Judge's car, the police (who are still searching for him) are near enough to hear the crash and come rushing to the scene. Whilst some of them undoubtedly stayed to help the Judge and his driver, at least five members of the force went after Toad, chasing him for miles and miles until sunset. Toad only escaped them by jumping into the river, where the current carried him to safety. On the other hand, after this scene, they disappear from the narrative; see Karma Houdini, above. | |

Moral Guardians: As with many Wind in the Willows adaptations, Badger, who was a friend of Toad's late father appears to be something of this for Toad. Whilst he could have easily sat back and done nothing, he intervenes on Toad's behalf and acts in the latter's best interests. Ratty and Mole also count for the same reasons. | |

The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_a70223 | comment |
Later still, when Toad crashes the Judge's car, the police (who are still searching for him) are near enough to hear the crash and come rushing to the scene. Whilst some of them undoubtedly stayed to help the Judge and his driver, at least five members of the force went after Toad, chasing him for miles and miles until sunset. Toad only escaped them by jumping into the river, where the current carried him to safety. On the other hand, after this scene, they disappear from the narrative; see Karma Houdini, above. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: After Toad escapes from prison, he steals and crashes the Judge's car. After escaping the wreck, he sees a group of angry police officers come charging angrily up the hill to arrest him. Treating it like a game, he tauntingly tells them to "Catch me if you can!" They very nearly do, and although he does get away, he's not laughing anymore. | |

Felony Misdemeanor | |
The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_c59cfa2e | comment |
Felony Misdemeanor: Toad's prison sentence. Stealing the motor car is twelve months, while his reckless driving warrants three years and cheeking the police warrants fifteen years which adds up all together to nineteen years, which the judge then makes an even twenty. | |

Idle Rich: Toad. Like in the novel, he's a deconstruction of this trope as he has way too much time to devote to whatever hobby takes his interest. | |

A Dog Named "Dog": All the principal characters are either this or Species Surname. Since they mostly only appear to have one name apiece, it's hard to tell which. Portly is the only character with a first name. The human characters don't have names at all, and are referred to entirely by their occupation. | |

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My! | |
The Wind in the Willows (1995) / int_f61cddc9 | comment |
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Zig-zagged. Most of the animals live in burrows (albeit in very human-like comfort) and have little or no interaction with humans. Toad, on the other hand, lives in an actual house, drives cars, is put on trial in a human court, held in a human prison, and escapes by disguising himself as a human washerwoman. During his escape no one suspects that he's Mr. Toad until he actually announces it when he rides off with a barge woman's horse. And he also interacts on a more-or-less equal basis with all the other animals. | |
