Timeless family classic!
This is a review for the 2013 Blu Ray release:For someone who has never seen this movie, it is a great classic. If you enjoy Ron Howard's and/or George Lucas work then you will love this movie. It was directed by Ron H. with the assistance from George L. It has an excellent fantasy story line with great special effects even for it's time.The transfer to Blu Ray was done with very high quality with some added bonus features. It has some deleted scenes (that I have never seen before) with modern day commentary from Ron Howard in 2013. Features also include the original behind the scenes segment from the original release, which shows the quality difference from then to now. I also appreciate the fact that when the movie was transfered to modern day picture and sound quality they did not try to enhance any of the special effects. I feel when studios enhance old movie effects it takes away from the classic feel, and Willow definitely doesn't need it. It's great how it is.For parents with young children, this is a great clean and classic family film. My 9 year old and 5 year old were entertained the whole way through which made it even more enjoyable for me to watch after all these years. There was one part shortly after Willow entered the tavern that caught me off guard and was questionable. But just as it went over my head as a kid the same was true for my kids.So I would recommend this movie to anyone. For those who know this classic well you will enjoy the great Blu Ray quality, and for those who have not seen this film you will enjoy the great new adventure.

Magic stuff
I first saw Willow when I was very young, and now, a decade later, it has lost none of its magic for me!The film tells the story of young Willow Ufgood, the reluctant hero of his Nelwyn village as he is chosen to return a very important Daikini (the Nelwyn word for humans!) baby to her own kind. However, Willow gets a lot more than he bargained for along the way, joining forces with a great (and often silly) swordsman, Madmartigan, two bossy and very short brownies, and the mysterious Fin Raziel, in his quest.I loved everything about this film ... the music is beautiful, as are the settings (filmed in a variety of locations from Wales to New Zealand), the special effects are good, and the story is the classic and timeless tale of good versus evil, narrating the lives of many memorable characters. The film combines humour, action, fantasy and romance in a very satisfactory and watchable two hours. What more could you ask for?And a note about the special DVD features as well ... crystal clear sound and vision, added extras such as interviews, trailers (some of which made me laugh) and stills from the making of the film, and a feature on the way the special effects were produced. I enjoyed seeing all of these - this classic is definitely worth the money!Top marks for a film that I'll always enjoy.

Forget all you know,,,and all you think you know
"Willow" has been an easy target for the critics. Perhaps it's true that George Lucas wished he had written Lord of the Rings, or at least had secured the movie rights to it, but that doesn't take anything away from the magical adventure that is Willow.There are some films which are timeless. You see them as a child and enjoy them equally as an adult. The adventure never pales, the wonder never ceases, and despite their clear existence in a world very different to your own, you care deeply about the characters and what becomes of them. No matter how many times you watch it. Willow is one such film.Looking for something for the kids? Willow is perfect, and they'll wonder at your good taste. Want something to curl up to on the sofa with your other half? Willow's guaranteed to make 'em smile, laugh, and (when they think you're not looking) mist up a bit.Warwick Davis is excellent in the title role, and his performance is even more remarkable given that he was only 17 when it was made. But Val Kilmer steals the show as the swordsman who finally finds something to believe in, wisecracking his way through various feats of heroism. The actor improvised much of his dialogue, which really makes it crackle. And watch out for the smoldering scenes with Joanne Whalley, parelleling their burgeoning off-screen romance during the filming, which ended in their marriage.If you have never seen it, buy it now. If you have already experienced its magic, you already know you're going to!
