On paper it sounds great. Terry Jones and much of the Python crew get together for an adaptation of a classic of English Children's literature. A noble effort, but somehow the result just doesn't quite gel.

Pushing the boundaries for how annoying a family film can be.

Plays fast and loose with Ken Grahame in some ways, as you might expect from Terry Jones. . . but this mainly charming little gem did not get a fair release. Love the whole cast, the look, the gentle jokes. Watch this in the early spring, and watch Disney's ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD in mid-October. It's a nice way to shape your year.

Great little version of the classic tail. Catchy music, great acting, and a wonderful enviroment. The film is funny, and should be suitable for all kids. Also, it stars basically all the Pythons! That's already a plus. People tend to over look this film or even hate it, but it needs rewatching and reconsidering because it's fun.
