The first cartoon of Kenneth Grahame's book was pretty good, I didn't actually know he did a second book based in Winter. Basically Toad has completely given up motor cars and now has a very high interest in flying planes. Mole meanwhile goes missing after walking across the frozen river and it cracking. Rat, nephew Mole and Badger are now on the lookout to find their friend. When they believe he is dead he finally turns up at his funeral. Toad unfortunately goes to court for suspected murder, a lot of other bad stuff happens to him when he gets back as well. Again, the voice artists are just perfect. The British actors are still Alan Bennett as Mole, Michael Palin as Rat, Sir Michael Gambon as Badger, and my favourite actor and character of the cartoon, Emmy winning Rik Mayall as Toad. Also starring Vanessa Redgrave as Grandmother. It won the Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Animation, and it was nominated for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming More Than One Hour). Good!
