Willows

The Willows were a pair of century-old trees who often spoke to Anne Shirley.

HistoryEdit

Behind the scenesEdit

Portrayal

• Keith Dinicol and Keith Knight provided the voices of Willows in five episodes of Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series (2000–2001). Knight also portrayed Reverend Fitzsimmons in two episodes of Road to Avonlea (1990–1996). They debut in "The Stray", the third episode of the series.

Trivia

• Although they may initially be interpreted as a figment of Anne's imagination (like Katie Maurice and Dryad), in "One True Friend" after Anne went off-screen (and had not initiated an imagination sequence) they remained animated, and Peg Bowen winked in their direction. One of them winked back at her, indicating that they may be real entities.
