Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) is a Nelwyn, born into the simple life of farming, with aspirations of one day, becoming a great sorcerer. After being passed up time and time again for the opportunity to be the High Nelwyn’s apprentice, it seems Willow’s dream… will remain just that.

However, after he stumbles upon Elora Danon – an abandoned baby girl who is said to one day bring down the evil Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh) – Willow’s life will never be the same again. He must embark on a great journey where many foes, mystical forces and monsters await him in order to secure the safety of this child. Thankfully, also along for the ride, is maverick, swordsman, Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), to aid Willow on his quest.

A fantastic, magical movie, directed by the legendary Ron Howard (The Grinch, The Da Vinci Code), with a great cast, plenty of action, sorcery and even scarier aspects of fantasy that separate it from your average family-friendly adventure. Get involved.

Available on Disney+
