With Volume 5: Wind in the Willows, the studio continues the current standard of featuring a lengthy short as the centerpiece and several smaller ones that have a vaguely similar theme. This time the theme seems to be classic morality tales as each of these is based on an existing fable that teaches life lessons. The disc's title short, loosely based on the famous Kenneth Grahame novel, was originally the first half of the 1949 package feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The version that ends up here is the isolated version from the 1950s containing unique credits and a slightly altered opening.
Devotees to the original story may be horrified by what's presented as the filmmakers kept Grahame's names and locations but threw out most everything else. That said, the short is certainly a winner in its own regard. It feels like a warm-up for the more famous '50s features that followed it. The opening is reminiscent of Peter Pan, the madcap humor feels like an Alice in Wonderland trial run, and certain shots and editing choices foreshadow Cinderella and Lady and the Tramp. The material here is so strong, in fact, that it's almost disappointing that Disney decided to relegate it to package feature status and not expand it into its own full-length feature.
The other five shorts may not make as indelible an impression, but they're still entertaining. The strongest of these is 1939's Ugly Duckling, the only short on the disc told without dialogue. It's been said that in film, one should show instead of say. Disney has always excelled at that, as evidenced by this Silly Symphony. One effective sequence is when the two adult ducks argue over the duckling's appearance. Despite not uttering a single word of English, it's very clear what they're arguing about, more so for the adults watching than the children. The other Silly Symphonies included are charming despite not being as complex as this or as memorable as the main feature.
