DESCRIPTION
From legendary filmmakers George Lucas and Ron Howard comes one of the most beloved fantasy tales of all time. This groundbreaking film features stunning special effects, dazzling action and a classic battle between good and evil.
When young Willow Ufgood Warwick Davis finds an abandoned baby, he is suddenly thrust unto an adventure filled with magic and danger. According to an ancient prophecy, the sacred child is destined to end the reign of the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda Jean Marsh. Now, the only a single swordsman Val Kilmer at his side, Willow must overcome the forces of darkness that threaten to destroy anyone who stands in the Queen's way!
This epic Lucasfilm fantasy serves up enough magical adventure to satisfy fans of the genre, though it treads familiar territory. With abundant parallels to Star Wars, the story by George Lucas follows the exploits of the little farmer Willow Warwick Davis, an aspiring sorcerer appointed to deliver an infant princess from the evil queen Jean Marsh to whom the child is a crucial threat. Val Kilmer plays the warrior who joins Willow's campaign with the evil queen's daughter Joanne Whalley, who later married Kilmer. Impressive production values, stunning locations in England, Wales, and New Zealand and dazzling special effects energize the routine fantasy plot, which alternates between rousing action and cute sentiment while failing to engage the viewer's emotions. A parental warning is appropriate: director Ron Howard has a light touch aimed at younger viewers, but doesn't shy away from grisly swordplay and at least one monster a wicked two-headed dragon that could induce nightmares. --Jeff Shannon
