Earlier this year we covered a whole bunch of versions of The Wind in the Willows, and now Sarah and Nicki are back to continue our discussion on the stop motion series from Cosgrove Hall, with their two Christmas episodes. Plus we decided to throw in the 2D animated special Mole's Christmas as well, to round out our Christmas conversation. Follow Nicki online! YouTube: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.co...

I had not originally planned to cover the 1984 Wind in the Willows series from Cosgrove Hall, but when I discovered that they made two episodes based on chapters from the book that didn't make it into the 1983 movie, I decided I needed to add them to our lineup before we close our Wind in the Willows series for the year.

In today's episode I am joined by Morgan & Chelsea of the Rotoscopers to talk about the fairly obscure Rankin/Bass version of the Wind in the Willows, and I know what you're thinking, no this is not a stop-motion animated film, this was a hand-drawn 2D animated film, and one of their final films ever!

Today Mark, Sarah, & I are talking about PBS's Wishbone, but we ended up veering off repeatedly to talk about growing up on PBS in the 90's.
