Follow my voice where ever it leads..."

sinopsis:
With amazingly detailed sets that recreate Mole End, Toad Hall, and the Wild Wood, these episodes capture the spellbinding stop-motion genius of Cosgrove Hall Productions. Toad, Mole, Rat, and Badger do their best to maintain the simple pleasures of life, even as the pesky weasels lurk nearby. Filled with music and song - and plenty of tea and jam - our gentlemanly quartet always find a way to traverse life's ups and downs with aplomb. This production from the makers of Dangermouse and Count Duckula is widely considered the best and most faithful adaption of Kenneth Grahame's classic book.
Mole, Ratty, Badger and the indefatigable Toad, step out of the pages of Kenneth
Grahame's classic volume and lead us into a sepia-tinged series of stories set
around the riverbank, at Mole End, Toad Hall and the Wild Wood. Cosgrove Hall's
models and naturalistic sets are exquisite, the storytelling perfect, and the gentle,
melancholic tone spot on. The viewing experience is as pleasurable as dipping your
toes in the river on a golden Summer afternoon...
The series was launched on the back of Cosgrove Hall's film special, The Wind In
the Willows, an adaptation of the original Grahame story concerning Toad's exploits
abroad on the road, a spell in prison and the reclamation of Toad Hall. The series
continues where that volume left off, and you can barely see the join, such is the
skill of the film makers. Even the Court House is revisited (see: "Buried Treasure")
wherein the animals stand before the human Magistrate. And on occasion we're
taken further still, all the way to a nighttime dock indeed, where great ships
depart for sea-bound adventures (see: "Wayfarers All").
The craftsmanship on show here is extraordinary. From mole's over-tight cardigan,
to Ratty's scuffed-up shoes, to the miniature artworks adorning Badger's home,
the models, sets and props are Lilliputian delight, the animation beautifully
observed.
Four series were filmed between 1984 and 1987, before Cosgrove Hall embarked
on a second film special A Tale of Two Toads. A fifth series followed in 1990, only
now there was a title change to Oh! Mr Toad and the emphasis was shifted to
stories dealing with the colourful and preposterous poop-pooper Toad of
Toad Hall....
