The timing on this release is just about perfect: close enough to the theatrical release of The Lord of the Rings for people to be eager for some high fantasy, but far in advance enough that comparisons will be less likely.SynopsisThe story, by George ...read the complete Willow movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (David Annandale)

It might seem like a preposterous idea now, but back in 1988, George Lucas seemed invulnerable. Flushed with success from his Star Wars trilogy and the Indiana Jones films, he had survived the rather spectacular failure of Howard The Duck with his ...read the complete Willow movie review at DVD Net (Anthony Horan)
