 | | The Head Weasel is responsible for some very Pythonesque moments, especially when he tries to pass as a rabbit in the jury box when Toad is put on trial for running off with someone's motor car. |
 | | And one of these, Lewis notes, is The Wind and the Willows, where "the quaternion of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad suggests the amazing heterogeneity possible between those who are bound by Affection." The best part about that "quaternion" is simply being with them, "messing about", plot functioning merely as a net to catch spirit. |
 | | Or it could be the slightly unusual tone of Jones' Wind in the Willows, due to extensive location work and naturalistic lighting on a sort of film which is traditionally done on a studio soundstage with cartoonish high-key lighting. |
