    0:28 started crying when I heard that nostalgic oboe melody.
    It’s 2023, I’m 35, and this was one of my favorite movies as a child. Now, I’m laying in bed with my 4 year old, laughing at Toad’s antics and reveling in the musicality and witty dialogue.
    Time steals many things, but the love and memories live on, even in the simplest of movies.
    If you’re reading this, sit with the beauty of the moment and enjoy this classic.

    When I was a kid back in 1994/95, my mother used to put this VHS tape on when I was sick... It would always calm me down, soothe me enough to sleep and also keep me sat still completely mesmerized by the story....
    Today, 2023, I'm 31.

    I"m 73. My mom used the original story as a bedtime read when I was a toddler circa 1950. I grew up reading and hearing it; I probably learned some reading skills from those evening 'reads'. When my mom was dying from MRSA, we took turns reading this story to her as she lay seemingly unconscious. I suspect she heard and knew... Especially, the Piper at the gates of dawn.

      I'm 65, my aunty bought me this book when I was too little to read it. I still have the book she gave me. Different chapters in this book have sustained me through some very difficult times. Also I often find the people I can trust most remind me of Badger, Ratty or Mole. That has helped me like a kind of moral compass, nevertheless, we all need a bit of Toad sometimes!!!

    It's 2024 an I'm 36 and still I love watching this. It's one of the movies I usually watch at night in bed to help me unwind an it always makes me sleepy. Once my eyes get really heavy I turn it of an I'm asleep within minutes. When I don't watch any of my movies like this one it usually takes me an hour minimum just to go to sleep. When I finally do fall asleep I have a horrible night's sleep so I think I'll keep watching this an the other couple old cartoon movies I have to watch at bed time. This movie really is an all time classic.

    I’m 41 and the wind in the willows books played a big part of my childhood. I would read for hours and pretend that I lived on the riverbank as well. Over the years I’ve watched many adaptations of the willows the tv series when I was a kid the films and the musicals and every time I’m transported back to my childhood sitting on my bed reading the books and wishing I lived on the riverbank

    This film, on VHS, was basically my entire childhood until we got a DVD player. I stopped watching my VHS tapes after that. And I haven't seen this film since I was about 4/5. And I'm turning 16 tomorrow and just last week I started watching the Young Ones. And Rik Mayall is one of the main actors in that. And I saw that he plays Mr Toad in this and....it makes so much sense now. His voice didn't change for this role. And now my childhood actually links to my personality now and I'm over excited about it

    In my opinion, Rik Mayall was the strongest part of this movie. Toad’s genuine regret at letting Mole and Rat down, and him finally going off at the Lords and his accusers, was so perfect. I get that we’re not supposed to agree with Toad on everything he does, but that’s what makes him so great to watch. And I think most of it is just the power of Rik Mayall.
