escape to another world and another time a time of legends and villainous and tiny people Willow ushers the audience Into such a world offering delights along the lines of Tolkien and the Wizard of Ox This is a wonderful film full of fantasy and adventure with a lot of laughs thrown in for good measure Willow Is a Nelwyn small people who live simply in peasant villages imagine medieval Willow becomes the guar of a baby princess with a powerful destiny and must take her to sanctuary across a mythic land scape On the way he encounters the Brownies who are extremely tiny people the who arc average size adults and Trolls horrid hairy beasts with nasty instincts Willow reluctantly enlists the aid of Modmartlgan a wayward Daiklni he releases from a slow death in a liny cell Together with their Brownie guides wno ore smaller than rata and mouthler than Billy Martin they fight their way across a savage land pursued by evil villains complete with skeleton Darth Vadcr masks and a beautiful princess who serves an evil mother Queen Yes but it takes awhile Willow has engendered great ex pec tat ions because It comes from the combined talent of George Lucas and Hon Howard Apparently people feel it does not live up to the publicity but I certainly find this to be true Willow is all things an epic fantasy should be heroic scary romantic funny and full of heart Willow himself is a lovable character an ordinary farmer forced Into extraordinary bravery and wisdom He has the au dience rooting for him every step of the way I think one of he interesting twists Howard and Lucas have given us Is that the world of Willow fi a mater nalistlc one instead of the usual paternalistic kingdom The land is ruled by the villainous Queen Bav with a warrior daughter to rt ally Willow and Brownies are common males caught up In a heroic struggle bet ween powerful women Warwick Davis plays Willow and he Is great It Is impossible to lm that Warwick Davis is not Willow he Is so completely in character Val Kilmer Is the hand some tall and dark and longhaired Whalley Is misled daughter and Jean Marsh of Upstairs Downstairs Is Bavmorda herself Patricia Hayes is the sorceress and Kevin Pollack of Arts and Entertainment a Com Break Is Root one of the crazy Brownies The special effects are pretty good but they arc not the stars of movie No it Is Willow and the Brownies and Dunham herself that will enchant and amuse you There is a fair amount of violence and if your child is prone to nightmares you might want to think twice about bringing him But Willow Is a family movie
