I have created a master list of adaptations/pastiches and works inspired by The Wind in the Willows that are available to stream for free online. This list includes professional productions (although the recordings themselves may not be professionally produced), and does not include either audiobooks of the original text or amateur productions, or the list would be fairly endless.
I will continue to update this list as new versions are posted/uncovered online, by me or by others. I will also try to remove any links that go dead. If you find a dead link, feel free to let me know. I may or may not be able to re-upload any dead links, depending on if I was the uploader of the video.
Feel free to reblog and share, but please do not repost this list!
I have put a lot of time and effort into compiling this list, so if you enjoy it, please let me know and consider checking out my other Wind in the Willows content if you haven’t already.
Thank you to @tremendousdetectivetheorist for help on tracking down the 1996 and 2006 live action films, and to @sardinesandhumbugs for supplying The Willows at Christmas and the UK Tour audio, and for recording the Pitlochry Festival Theatre audio!
A Note on Content Warnings: Due to historical context and the age of The Wind in the Willows, please consider this a blanket content warning that any entries on this list may contain antiziganism, transmisogynistic humor, and misogyny. I have done my best to include more specific content warnings for individual entries with possibly triggering content that falls outside of these general warnings.
