"Willow is a MUST SEE!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Second only to possibly The Princess Bride, Willow is one of the best movies ever made. Funny, adventurous, amazing. Great for the whole family. And hey, it's Val Kilmer before he got old, fat, and weird.

Loved this movie growing up, had to get it and 1ea for my brother & sisters . It is still spell binding now. The picture quality is great for a late 80's film

"Fun for all the family."

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Willow has been around for a while now, but it's such a good film that it's still well worth watching. There's magic and sorcery, heroes and villains, humour and thrills, and the scenery is great – it was partly filmed in New Zealand. This is a film that I have watched several times and still enjoy, and it's a worthwhile addition to my DVD and Blu ray collection.

Description

Adventure doesn't come any bigger than this.

Based on a story by STAR WARS creator George Lucas, WILLOW is director Ron Howard's fantasy world of medieval adventure. WILLOW stars Val Kilmer as Madmartigan, a swashbuckling warrior, and Warwick Davis as the title character. In a mythical kingdom, the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh) plots to kill all infants so that the newborn princess, Elora, will never take over the throne. But a midwife sets the baby adrift in a river, and she is rescued by Willow, a farmer in Nelwyn, a peaceful village of trolls, fairies, and little folk. Willow and Madmartigan begin a quest to deliver the baby from evil while being chased by Queen Bavmorda’s daughter, Sorsha (Joanne Whalley), sent to bring the baby back to Nockmaar.

Director Howard benefited from his affiliation with George Lucas on the film--Lucas’s company, Industrial Light and Magic, contributed the Oscar-nominated special effects. Lucas, the executive producer of WILLOW, went on to create a series of books based on the world of WILLOW, the SHADOW WAR series.
