This cartoon adaption of The Wind in the Willows is something rare: a perfect (or at least near-perfect) version of the novel it's based on. Forget the Disney version; this is the one to see. It leaves out only a few parts of the novel, and is very faithful to the tone of the story. Each character is perfectly realized as they were in the novel. The visual style is excellent too; it is what might be called "delightfully grotesque." If you love The Wind in the Willows, and want to see a version that does not ruin it, this is the version you want. Alas, it is unavailable on video or DVD (it was once available on video, but is no longer), and is only rarely (if ever) shown on T.V. I am fortunate that I have a copy taped from T.V. many years, a copy which is, sadly, slowly biting the dust. This movie is hard to find, but if you can find, watch it without delay.

I just saw Noseratu for the first time at a local theater (a very rare showing), and all I can say is: This movie is a masterpiece. Orlok is, without a doubt, the most repulsive and scary-looking vampire ever. Some of the acting was a little on the corny side, but any scene with Orlok was instantly compelling, especially the incredible scenes on the ship. If you are a horror fan and have not seen this movie, see it immediately. You will love this move!
