What happens

The Wind in the Willows (released on VHS and DVD as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in the United States) is a 1996 British adventure comedy film based on Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows, adapted and directed by Terry Jones, and produced by Jake Eberts and John Goldstone. The film stars Jones, Steve Coogan, Eric Idle and Nicol Williamson. While positively regarded by critics, the film was given only a very limited theatrical release in the U.S. due to a lawsuit between Columbia Pictures and Disney. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
