In fact, the first sequel penned by Horwoods, The Willows in Winter, was adapted for animation by HIT Entertainment and TVC for Carlton UK, just over a year after they had brought to life their vision of the first original book - and with its beautiful hand-drawn animation and well-chosen cast, it has in itself remained a much-loved favourite to many since.
Featuring the voices of Alan Bennett, Michael Gambon, Michael Palin and the ever-enthusiastic Rik Mayall!
I thought it was quite well done.
ReplyDeleteKinda made me wish there was a "Wind in the Willows" fan club of sorts I would join in school just for that (instead of Harry Potter I saw recently at a school gathering).
