Viewing Notes

Would you feel less of me if I told you that I had to watch Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride to fully get it? Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention the first time around (I clearly wasn’t) but I forced another viewing for good measure. Fortunately it ain’t all that bad. Great cast, okay musical numbers but based on the book The Wind in the Willows it’s not quite as good. Still enjoyable.
