The ride's story is based on Disney's adaptation of The Wind in the Willows (1908), one of the two segments of the film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949).

Colonel Ricardo was said to have been Kenneth Grahame's inspiration for Toad of Toad Hall in Wind in the Willows, as he drove round the village in a yellow Rolls-Royce and would offer lifts to any residents he saw.
One of the Fables that he frequently contacts is Mr. Toad and his son TJ (Toad Jr.), who live in a run-down apartment building nearby.
