The Wind in the Willows -
Seasonal DVD Giveaway!
Ah, the riverbank. What a splendid place to be as Summer blooms.
And what better company could you have than our friends Ratty, Mole,
Badger and that indefatigable rogue, Mr Toad?
The folks at Fremantle Home Entertainment are currently re-releasing

March (RRP £4.99), and "Wind in the Willows: Summer Escapades" is
due on May 28th (again, RRP £4.99).
Okay, so the new cases are for kids, but that series... well... that's

Carry me away...
Does this series really need an introduction here at Toonhound?
Beautifully observed and meticulous in every way, Cosgrove Hall's
80s stop-motion production took Kenneth Grahame's classic characters
off the page and away into an expanded series of tales that have come
to be cherished by animation fans around the world. To many, this is the
definitive adaptation. No one else has caught the magic and melancholy,
the joie de vivre and that all-round Edwardian cosiness in quite the
same way... Sit back... Relax... And drift away downstream with
Ratty, Mole, Badger and Mr Toad...
