''The Willows in Winter'' is a 1996 sequel to the 1995 film ''WesternAnimation/{{The Wind in the Willows|1995}}''. It is an AnimatedAdaptation of William Horwood's unofficial sequel to Kenneth Grahame's [[Literature/TheWindInTheWillows original novel]]. Like ''Willows'', it was produced by the now defunct TVC (Television Cartoons) in London and the two tend to be sold together on DVD. Most of the original cast returned to reprise their roles.

** Portly. Justified since he's only a youth and it's probably his first time drinking strong alcohol.

** Portly. Justified since he's only a youth and it's probably his first time drinking strong alcohol. Mole instructs his nephew to give Portly "a small nip" to warm him up, but his nephew somewhat overdoes it.



* DownerBeginning: The film begins with Mole seemingly falling through the ice and drowning in the river. Fortunately, he doesn't die and is later found by his friends.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: When Mole is finally found, bedraggled, cold, and damp, one of the first things he asks for is a cup of hot toddy.
* TheJeeves: Prenderghast, a servant at the judge's mansion, has a very Jeevesian manner.



* NewTechnologyIsEvil: Played with much more than in the original. The message from ''Winter'' seems to be that new technology is bad only when it's abused by people like Toad. Even Badger is eager to use Toad's new plane to help search for Mole.

Even Badger is eager has a kneejerk disapproval to use Toad's new plane to help search on principle, but when Ratty points out how useful it could be in searching for Mole.Mole, he realizes its utility.



* PetTheDog: The Wild Wooders search for Mole with some persuasion and are openly crying at their enemies funeral.

* SmugSnake: The chief weasel, smugly adding more conditions to the agreement of the weasels joining the search for mole.

to:

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: One of the deciding factors in Toad's acquittal is [[spoiler: Badger's friendship with the editor of the ''Times'', which he leverages to try to influence the verdict. The Judges apparently refer to him as [[RedBaron "The Thunderer"]] and dare not go against his advice.]]

Added DiffLines:

* StronglyWordedLetter: After learning Toad has been charged with murder, Badger resorts to the "forlorn hope" of writing one of these to the editor of the ''Times'' in protest. [[spoiler: It works [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections surprisingly well.]]]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If the judge had just tried Toad for the crimes he was actually guilty of (escaping jail and dangerous flying over a public area) he would probably have got the conviction to stick. Instead he tries to implicate Toad in just about [[FelonyMisdemeanor every crime imaginable]], including the murder of a man still alive and working in his (the Judge's) kitchen. Of course Toad's friends rally at the unfairness of this and he ends up saved at the last minute, much to the judge's anger.

* PaperThinDisguise: Toad, once again, dons one to escape the judge. This time he dresses up as a (human) chimney sweep and no one thinks it's odd the sweep lost a few feet in height and now has a green face!
