Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The nefarious Weasel has set into motion a devious plan to take over Toad Hall, and the only hope for the friendly critters of the town are the heroic Badger, Rat, and Mole in an enchanting, stop motion-adaptation of the classic C.S. Lewis tale, narrated by Ian Carmichael and directed by Jackie Cockle. The sun is shining overhead and it simply seems as if life can't get any better for Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad; but when darkness falls and Toad is kidnapped it soon becomes obvious that something sinister is in the works. When the toad-less trio learns that Weasel has abducted their croaking friend in hopes of realizing his devious dreams and claiming Toad Hall as his own, Badger, Rat, and Mole pool their resources to thwart Weasel's plan and see that their friend has a happy and healthy homecoming.
