16a Altogether popular animal in a fantasy film (2,4), 18a Female entertainer kinda surrounded by instruments, mostly (6), and 25d Succeed in being extremely unshakeable (5). I think the answers are In toto, Geisha and Ensue, but would like help with parsing, please.

25 Ens, being + U and E from each end of Unshakeable'(extremely, each extreme, end)

18 Gea is Gea(r)instruments, with Ish, kinda (oldish, fattish...,) Inside.

16.I think it's In, popular and Toto,animal in fantasy film (Wizard of Oz).In Toto, altogether.

Thanks, Malone. I understood the u and e as the extremes of unshakeable but couldn't see the Ens? I know I'm being thick!

Thanks, Malone. I didn't know about Toto in The Wizard of Oz.

Thanks, Bassett. I hadn't checked Ens when I replied earlier - I knew it had been used before. I've since looked it up and it's Ens, being, entity.etc.

Thanks, Malone. I'll try and remember that for future crosswords.

Thanks for this. ENS = ‘being’ is one for the notebook, right after EN = ‘nut’

Jono, glad you are adding to your collection!
