Wind in the Willows- Terry Jones

This is truly a beautiful family film. With a well- chosen cast (including most of Monty Python and Steve Coogan), playing a host of adorable characters that have a witty, slap- stick and sometimes dangerous adventure. With grumpy badgers, friendly water rats and evil weasels, this film will entertain the whole family. It even contains a number of catchy songs that you will end up humming yourself for days after watching it. The locations are perfect and the props and costumes fit very well with the narrative. There are cheesy moments of course, but they are appropriate and forgiven by the genuinely funny moments and the fact that it is a U certificate. Recommended for those film lovers who want a bit of a feel- good pick up after something dark like The Wolf Man...
