The Reluctant Dragon & Mr. Toad Show is a 1970 American animated television series that aired on ABC's Saturday morning schedule. The show features two characters created by British children's writer Kenneth Grahame: the Reluctant Dragon from the 1898 short story of the same name, and Mr. Toad from the 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows. The show was created by Rankin/Bass Productions in New York City, who produced 17 episodes.[1] The show was a flop, airing from September 12 until December 26, 1970, when it was pulled from the Saturday morning schedule. A year later, ABC aired reruns of the show on Sunday mornings from September 12, 1971 to September 17, 1972.[2]
The half-hour comedy program included three shorts on each episode: the Reluctant Dragon took the first and third slots, with a Mr. Toad cartoon in the middle.[3] Written by Romeo Muller and William J. Keenan, the series uses a team of Canadian voice actors with Bernard Cowan as the recording supervisor. Tobias, the Reluctant Dragon, was voiced by Paul Soles; other characters were performed by Donna Miller, Claude Rae and Carl Banas.[4] The series' character designs were done by Paul Coker, Jr., and the animation supervision by Japanese-American animator Steve Nakagawa at Mushi Production in Tokyo.
The Reluctant Dragon[edit]
Tobias is a gentle, dreamy dragon who was cursed by the wizard Merlin with flaming breath, which comes upon him every time that he sneezes.[5] He is a kind-hearted soul who doesn't want to hurt the populace of Willowmarsh Village, and is ashamed whenever he erupts in flame. He's regularly troubled by a little blonde girl who wants to give him a bouquet of daisies, which make him sneeze. Tobias is aided by a knight, Sir Malcolm Giles, who tries to protect both the village and the dragon.[3] Willowmarsh is ruled by King Herman, who hosts a variety show.[6] Other characters include Sir Andrew, Irving the Bold and Ugliola.
Titles of the Reluctant Dragon cartoons included 'National Daisy Week', 'The Campscout Girls', 'A Cold Day in Wilowmarsh', 'The Tobias Touch' and 'Tobias, the Reluctant Viking'.[3]
Mr. Toad[edit]
Mr. Toad is a gadabout playboy who likes driving fast cars and wearing expensive clothes. He's the wealthy owner of Toad Hall, and an object of ridicule among his friends — the timid Mole, intellectual Badger and outgoing Water Rat.[3]
Mr. Toad stories included 'Ghost of Toad Hall', 'Micemaster Road', 'Build a Better Bungalow', 'Polo Panic' and 'Jove! What a Day'.[3]
In 1987, Rankin/Bass produced a more faithful TV-movie adaptation of The Wind in the Willows.[4]

Mr Toad Slot Machine
Developed by Play’n Go, we have the virtual Mr. Toad slot machine game! The title says a lot about what is its theme. Obviously, the main character is Mr. Toad from The Wind in the Willows novel written by Kenneth Grahame. The green shade, swamp and water lilies in the background are well put together along with the characteristic swamp noise. This slot is similar to Xmas Joker.
About the Game
Mr. Toad slot game consists of 3 fixed rows and 5 fixed reels. There are 5 optional lines going across the reels. Not only that you can change the number of the active pay lines from 1 to 5, but you can modify the number of coins on every single line separately. To play one regular spin, follow the next steps:
- Set the bet level 0.01 to 2.00.
- Adjust the value of all 5 lines, or even turn some off.
- Click the Spin button to roll once.
In-Game Options & Tips
Mr Toad Shirt
- If you find swamp sounds or effects annoying, they can be turned off by clicking the speaker icon in the bottom left the corner.
- Developers implemented the micro adjustable Auto Play feature. A bettor can set the number of spins he/she wants to be played automatically or set the condition at which the feature stops. All conditions can be seen by clicking the autoplay button. The function can be stopped at any time manually.
- Use spacebar as a key to roll once if you are playing on a device that has the keyboard.
- Use + and – signs next to the reels to change that particular line value. Hover over either of those two signs to see the pattern of that line.
- Bet Max will automatically set all line value to 5.
Mr. Toad Slot’s Bonus Game
Play Mr. Toad Bonus Game by landing 3 or more consecutive Lotus icons. The more symbols you get, the higher the prizes in the bonus feature. Once activated, a new screen will be displayed with a frog in the middle of the swamp. The goal is to help him jump over lily pads to the other side of the swamp.
Click on any lily you want it to jump on. If the hippo finds him, the bonus game is over. However, if the frog manages to get to the other side, you will be generously awarded.
Gamble Feature
After the signs connect on the reels, a win is awarded. A bettor can either collect it and transfer it to the balance or try gambling with it. If you want to risk to win more, choose one of the two offered gamble options: Double Up or Triple Up.
In a Double Up version, you have to choose 1 of the 4 offered symbols. Two of them have the multiplier hidden behind, and other two are empty. If the one with the multiplier is chosen, the prize is doubled up, but if it’s empty the prize is lost.
A similar procedure is if a player picks Triple Up mode. There, 3 symbols are displayed with one hiding the x3 multiplier. If the chosen one has the x3, the prize is multiplied. Otherwise, it’s lost. You can play the Gamble round up to 10 times in succession and up to as long as the amount won after the double/triple is less than 50000.00.
Jackpot
Scatter ring signs trigger the free online Mr. Toad Jackpot Feature. Three of them trigger bronze wheel, 4 = silver and 5 = golden wheel Jackpot. At bronze level, the goal is to land on the three arrows in which case you proceed to the silver wheel. Same thing with the silver, but with fewer chances to succeed.
Bronze and Silver wheels can reward you with the Tasty Jackpot, + Luxury on the Silver. The Golden Wheel can be triggered by either 5 scatters or by leveling up. You can win the Dream Chance Jackpot and Luxury Jackpot here. All three Jackpot current values are shown at the top right corner above the reels.
