THE WILLOWS

Self Promo

The Wind in the Willows, written over a century ago by Kenneth Grahame, remains one of the most beloved children's books of all time. Adapted into various forms of media, it continues to captivate both children and adults to this day.

As a child, I adored this book and was inspired to reimagine its characters in my own way. Each character has a unique personality, and I aimed to reflect this through their design and movement.

​

Ratty is quick-witted and energetic, a true country gentleman who embraces the outdoors, come rain or shine.

Mole is a shy yet kind-hearted soul. Though self-conscious, he possesses a quiet bravery.

Badger is larger-than-life. Gruff and sophisticated, he carries an air of wisdom, yet beneath it all, he is gentle at heart.
