	Willow: Collector's Edition (1988)
		Willow starts like an outtake from The Ten Commandments, as we learn of a special baby who will eventually cause the destruction of evil Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh).
		Willow’s loyal Nelwyn friend Meegosh (David Steinberg) also comes along for a while, but an injury eventually forces him to head for home.
		Willow: The Making of an Adventure starts with these words: “In a time of sequels and spin-offs, Willow is truly one of a kind.” Uhhh - yeah.

	Filmtracks: Willow (James Horner)
		The boy's and women's choir, which opens and closes the film with a simple three note theme that would become a Horner trademark in his children's film scores of the early 90's, adds sensitivity to the softer moments of the score.
		One of the greatest challenges in making Willow was to transport the audience to a time when extraordinary acts of magic and sorcery were a part of everyday life, while keeping us in touch with the timeless human issues we all relate to.
		In special effects films you'll be going along and then all of a sudden you'll cut to a different sequence or a different scene, and then you'll cut back to the original scene, and so forth.

		Demanding weather conditions ranging from snow to heat waves was not enough to stop Ron Howard and his team from shooting most of the movie on real locations in New Mexico, including the famous Cook Ranch in Santa Fe.
		Although the story is set in Carolina in 1860s America, the filming took place in the Transylvania mountains in Romania.
		Several scenes were shot in Savannah, Georgia, a city whose historic character made it a natural for that part of the film set in Boston.

	Willow
		The film follows the story of Willow, whose main goal in life, besides being a good father and husband, is to become a sorcerer.
		Willow and some of the others from his village try to bring the baby to her own people and through a series of events he becomes her sole protector and a mighty hero in the process.
		One of the reasons Willow didn't have a lot of box office pull was that this is the first and only film to have a "little person" as the major protagonist.

	DVD Review: Willow
		The film revolves around Willow (Warwick Davis), a little fellow who finds himself the new parent of a small baby that he has plucked out of the river as it passed by in a crumbling little boat.
		Once Willow gets to the crossroads, he runs into Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), a swordsman who decides to join Willow on his quest after he lets Madmartigan out of the cage he's currently in.

	DVD Review: Willow
		Willow aspires to be a sorcerer, but he lacks confidence in his abilities.
		Willow: The Making of an Adventure starts out extremely corny and certainly has dated production values, but it's actually much better than almost any of the HBO First Look specials that we are inundated with these days.
		Willow will likely never be remembered as a great film, but it's certainly a lot of fun and a favorite of many.

	WILLOW - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) is a "little person" in a village of little people whose discovery of a baby among the reeds, a little red-wigged flesh bauble named Elora (played alternately by Ruth and Kate Greenfield) being sought after by wicked folk, forces good Willow to leave his Nelwyn home.
		Accompanied by a fellowship of little people, Willow encounters a fierce human warrior Madmartigan (Val Kilmer) who joins them on their quest to return the baby to where she belongs, wherever that might be.
		Willow is a landmark in the evolution of visual effects technology, no question, but it works a good deal better as a portfolio for ILM techies than a showcase for such hoary and decrepit entertainment standards as acting, screenwriting, plotting, and direction.

	Pulp Film - Willow
		Willow (Warwick Davis), an aspiring sorcerer burdened by his size, is clearly an incarnation of Luke Skywalker.
		Willow must leave his village of fellow Nelwyns (Lucas's variation of Hobbits) and spirit the baby to safer arms.
		Willow's world is a massive, unrelenting land of impossible rolling hills and jagged mountain chains that dwarf him all the more.

	Once (2007): Reviews
		The songs don't advance the narrative lyrically so much as follow the two characters' uncertain relationship through the slow realization of their themes; in particular a scene in which they first jam together in the back room of a music store is a gem.
		The film drags a bit and Irglova's inexperience as an actor sometimes leaves her costars in the lurch.
		What film did you see or do you like to give negative ratings when everyone else is positive?"--Ah, it must have felt like two hours, because, as others have said, the songs make the film drag on.

	Willow / **** (1988)
		Willow belongs to a race of little people called the Nelwyns, and is chosen by his community to take a baby to a far-off crossroads where it can be found by its people, the Daikinis.
		What Willow does not know is that the baby was placed on the raft by a midwife, who had promised to save the baby as the wish of her desperate, imprisoned mother.
		She tells Willow of Elora's true power, and that unless he helps her defeat the evil Queen Bavmorda, Willow's entire village (as well as everyone that lived) would be under her spell forever.

	Willow mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Revealing: When Willow and Mardigan are cornered in the ruined castle, the general with the scull helmet gets Alora and rides from the battle with her.
		One of the villagers they show is Willow's wife, although they show her in another scene (a minute or so later) walking from a different area and noticing Willow for the first time (again).
		Continuity: When Willow rows out to Raziel's island, he is bone dry, but when the next scene inside the hut opens, he is soaked.

	Val Kilmer, Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley, Ron Howard : Willow (Special Edition) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wer den Film mag kann zugreifen, wer ihn nicht kennt sollte sich ihn vorher vielleicht erst mal ausleihen, denn er ist ein klein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig.
		Willow ist ein Nelvin (den Hobbits nicht unähnlich), dem das Schicksal ein Menschenbaby geradezu vor die Füße gespült hat.
		Der Film hat alles was ein zeitloser Fantasyfilm braucht und man kann mit Fug und Recht behaupten, dass Willow nicht nur den großen Peter Jackson sondern auch noch einige andere Fantasy Regisseure inspiriert hat.

	Evan Almighty (2007): Reviews
		What makes the film transcend its limitations is Carell, whose square, "Father Knows Best" demeanor belies a supreme comic self-confidence and whose implacability in the face of the movie's CGI-intensive animal antics can be marvelous to behold.
		The film is a so-so slog through a torrent of tired jokes.
		Though it's quite possibly an even worse film than "Bruce Almighty," the sequel offers at least one consolation: The smug and increasingly unfunny Jim Carrey is replaced by the very talented Steve Carell.

	Eagle vs. Shark (2007): Reviews
		The film is punctuated by a literal knock down, drag out affair that has all the perverse curiosity of watching a "late career" Mike Tyson bout.
		As the film progresses, the character study of Jarrod becomes deeper and, while you still laugh at his ridiculous pretensions, you begin to pity him as well.
		I was initially apprehensive about seeing this film due to the mixed ratings, but a 5-star review from Film Threat (oddly not included on Metacritic which usually includes them) helped turn me around and give it a chance.

	The Crossroads (A Willow Webpage) - The Saga
		Filming on the motion picture Willow began on April 27, 1987 at Elstree Studios in London and ended five months later.

	Visual and Special Effects Film Milestones
		From even its earliest days, films have used visual magic ("smoke and mirrors") to produce illusions and trick effects that have startled audiences.
		The film was notable for both being Orson Welles' last film (voice) role as Unicron, a planet-sized computer, and for its downbeat, apocalyptic plot in which all of the series regulars were killed off.
		ILM scanned several filmed makeup transformations of his demise and "morphed" the elements together digitally - it sent the output back to film rather than arranging film elements with an optical printer.

	[No title]
		Another major divergence is the complete switch in the film from the scripted story of one Nelwyn's quest to return the Daikini baby to her people to the movie's depiction of an entire party of Nelwyns who accompany Willow on the start of his big adventure.
		In the film, Willow is already in possession of three magic acorns that the High Aldwin had given him to help him survive the perils of his journey.
		In the film we are never given any background on Madmartigan's past and although it is obvious from comments made by Airk that the lusty warrior has definitely fallen from grace, no specifics are ever forthcoming.

	TehranAvenue \| Film \| The Willow Tree
		This film is based on the life of Ray Charles, the acclaimed and blind Soul musician who also loses his eyesight at a young age.
		During the entire film, the director never allows even for a moment, for viewers to perceive the blindness of Ray Charles as a disability and use it to provoke their feelings.
		It is true that this film is a biography, but without a doubt the real Ray Charles suffered much in his life because of his blindness, but the director did not allow this suffering to be included, for his main goal was to prevent the image of a proud and self-sufficient personality to become tainted.

	Live Free or Die Hard (2007): Reviews
		The physical stunts by Maggie Q as a lethal martial arts expert and Cyril Raffaelli as a Eurotrash sniper who rappels buildings are more thrilling than the over-the-top chase sequences, so contrived as to verge on self-parody.
		This film is not a good advertisement for the quality of American flyover construction though.
		Everything that happens is total BS but what you end up with is a fast paced enjoyable film which remains true to its predecessors.

		All the major elements of the film are included: Magical Transformation, Good and Bad Friends, Sorcery, the Three Acorns and even the Dust of Broken Hearts which might force the Sorsha-Player to change sides.
		The Willow game can be played by 2 up to 6 players, with 2 each taking one side, till 6 where each player controls only one character.
		For example, if Willow and Madmartigan are standing together and are in a fight, Willow may not use the Good Friend: Elf for the Magic bonus of +1 and then give it to Madmartigan (the Champion) for the +1 Prowess bonus.
