The Wind in the Willows is a 1983 British stop motion animated television film produced by Cosgrove Hall Productions for Thames Television and aired on the ITV network, based on Kenneth Grahame's classic 1908 novel. One spring, Mole decides to ignore his spring cleaning and begins a series of adventures with his new friend Rat, including a picnic on the riverbank and a caravan expedition with Toad. Toad soon switches his allegiance to a new car, and his reckless driving causes Mole and Rat to seek help from Badger in order to curb Toad's profligate habits. However, Toad escapes from them and ultimately receives a twenty-year sentence from the magistrate for theft, reckless driving, and gross impertinence. While imprisoned, Toad works his wiles on the jailer's daughter and manages to escape dressed as a washer woman.
