The Wind in the Willows teaser trailer

We're getting the first look at a teaser trailer for The Wind in the Willows, featuring the four classic anthropomorphic animals and their struggle to maintain a peaceful truce with the remnants of humanity. Peter Jackson and his WETA group are developing the film, which looks to be moving along pretty steadily already. The script was written by Bill Marsili(Lightspeed), with Ray Griggs(Super Capers) handling the direction. The budget has been set at around $30M.

There's not a whole lot to the trailer, but we do get a glimpse of Mr. Toad if you wait long enough. I think he looks a little creepy, frankly. Far more creepy than I ever remember, anyway. And is it me or am I already getting a Tim Burton vibe?
