 Imaginarium Online, Movie Reviews
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.

 Review: 'The Wind in the Willows': As Enchanting as the Book
In so doing, "The Wind in the Willows," brimming with verbal and visual wit and imagination, driven by high adventure, reveling in English eccentricity, enlivened by bursts of song, unafraid of ideas and filled with color and splendid performances, exposes most other movies intended to attract children as out-and-out pap.
In telling the story of conflict between the riverside animals who seek only to live in peace and friendship and the pack of Weasels from the Wild Wood who seek to seize and despoil their halcyon land and estates by transforming them into a bleak factory and a slaughterhouse, Jones has turned to human actors.
