Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

This classic -- and very loopy -- children's tale from Kenneth Grahame gets a new lease on life in this live-action treatment starring members of the Monty Python troupe (John Cleese, Michael Palin and Eric Idle). The whimsical Mr. Toad (director Terry Jones) runs afoul of a gang of weasels by driving too fast in his motorcar. Then, the snarly little beasties try to demolish Toad Hall and turn it into a (gulp!) dog food factory.
