Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (1996)

Directed by Terry Jones
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Walt Disney)

Modern Disney nonsense about a wealthy Toad who has an obsession with speed. It seems the Weasels want to take over his estate, Toad Hall, and to do so must make him spend all of his money. In it's place they build a giant dog food factory. Luckily Toad has friends like Ratty, Badger and Mole who come to his aid. It occasionally breaks into very bad musical numbers. The Monty Python cast is just plain silly, and not in a good way, prancing around in mouse whiskers and long tails, a mole nose and a toad costume.
