A followup to the 1995 animated special Mole's Christmas, The Adventures of Mole is one of a series of hour-long, British-made cartoons based on Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. In this one, the shy, bookish Mole develops a thirst for excitement. Accompanied by his new friend Rat, excitement is just what he finds, with stopovers at the homes of his compatriots Toad and Badger. Reportedly first telecast on Britain's Channel 4, The Adventures of Mole was given its official US debut over cable's Disney Channel on May 7, 1996, and was nominated for a Cable Ace Award.
