When we speak of fabulous characters, the most fabulous of all will always be, to me at least, the master of Toad Hall.

Disneyland’s original Fantasyland in May 1956.  Due to budget constraints and tight timelines, Walt Disney and his imagineers decided on a “medieval fair” theme, with banners and flags decorating the attraction entrances. While not completely happy with the layout or design of most of Fantasyland, Walt decided they could do some major changes as time and money allowed. Other than a few new rides added and some minor cosmetic changes, the area did not get its promised upgrade until 28 years later, in May 1983.

Inktober 2023 - Day Eight - Toad

A bit of fan art of Mr. Toad from Wind in the willows. More specifically, this animated version (which is amazing and beautiful) :

Day 8: toad

[the-unicorns-of-nienna]

“The Wind in the Willows” never makes it clear if the animal characters are human-sized, or regular-animal-sized.

Most animated adaptations opt for the former interpretation. But Paul Bransom, who illustrated a 1913 edition of the book, subscribed to the later; resulting in such hilarious images as:

an itty-bitty Rat leading a comparatively kaiju-sized horse down the road,

and a completely ordinary Toad being thrown into a jail cell.

This raises an important question.

Was Mr. Toad arrested for stealing a toy car?

Or did a tiny little toad somehow manage to steal a vehicle designed for humans?

The entire book, with Paul Bransom’s illustrations, can be read right here:

Face Off: Face your Fears (season 13, episode 1)

Challenge: The candidates must select a fairytale character (except, as you will see, there is almost no “classic fairytale” character, they are rather characters from works that happen to be considered fairytales from the side) and turn into into a character that would fit into a Guillermo del Toro movie.

Candidate: Damien vs Jo

Character: Kenneth Grahame’s Mister Toad (The Wind in the Willows)

Damien went for a more “Abe Sapiens” route, with Mr. Toad being actually a human slowly mutating into a toad, resulting in an humanoid-toad hybrid.

Jo rather exploited the idea that Mr. Toad always got into troubles by reimagining him as a criminal/prisoner ; there was also a decision to lower the eyes to explore del Toro’s typical deformation and re-arrangement of human faces when creating his monsters (something that had been pointed out at the beginning of the challenge)

Inktober Day 8: Tally-Ho!

Mr. Toad's really putting some road behind him in his fabulous new motorcar. I hope he's looking where he's going!
