  • Wind in the Willows, The -- Charming live-action tale set in an English meadow where timid Mole (Steve Coogan), kindly(R) at (Eric Idle) and bold Badger (Nicol Williamson) must save reckless Toad (Terry Jones) from losing his country estate to evil Weasels. Also written and directed by Jones, this adaptation of Kenneth(G) rahame's 1908 children's classic is enhanced by an endearing cast, sprightly songs, lovely visuals and a delightful sense of whimsy, which despite moments of menace translates into appealing family entertainment.(A-I) (PG) ( 1997 )
