Hello? Had this when I was a kid.


Does anyone know if these were released on VCR? I had gotten a video of some version of Wind in the Willows when I was young, and wondered if it was this one that I got.

I watched this as a kid on Nickelodeon. I don't know if it was ever released on VHS, however it is now on DVD and I plan on purchasing it!

I'm pretty sure you can get it on DVD now.

You can get this on video as well as any number of sequals- this was the first in a televised series of adventures done by Cosgrove Hall- I couldn't tell you how many there are but I would hazard a guess at well over 20. The videos used to come with about two episodes on, except for 'A Tale of Two Toads' which came on it's own.

Do you remember if one of the VHS tapes in the series had a picture of Mr. Toad looking into a mirror on the cover?



Because that's what the tape that I saw in the Postings catalog from the early 90's had on the cover. I'm thinking that maybe they could've confused a couple of episodes from the series with the feature film from '83.



Otherwise, it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense, because it was a two-tape VHS boxed set, and all it said in the description was THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS.



The write-up made it sound like the movie, and said it was over 2 hrs. long. But no such movie is listed here on IMDB as ever having been made, and they're generally very thorough. I must admit, it has me quite puzzled. :-/

I think that's a scene from The Ghost at Mole End. I know it's from a box from that particular collection. There were at least two collections on VHS sold in the US. I have both. One is named after the seasons of the year, but this particular scene was on a tape from the other. It gets confusing and since I'll buy up anything of this series that I might not have I ended up with several duplicates.
