Willow
In the fortified towers of the castle of the queen of the charming poet Bavmoreda, the prisoner gives birth to a child, according to an old prophecy, will put an end to the Queen's reign. The mother saves her child from Bafforda's anger and is forced to throw her birthplace into the river before the Queen's dogs arrive. The river brings the child near the village of Nelwyns, and finds it 'Little Willow' and adopts it. When Hounds arrives at the village, Willow begins a difficult journey to bring the child back to his people and fulfill the prophecy.

Nice fantasy adventure, looking pretty dated now, but ably helmed by Ron Howard.

At the story level, Willow is turgid and relentlessly predictable.

As a movie, it's a hell of a video game

Though children will mostly be enthralled by the spectacles, even they might notice the weak story protruding through the industrial magic.

The world may not need yet another swashbuckling epic adventure, but one with so much heart and soul and fantasy surely is a welcome addition.

Willow is medieval mishmash from George Lucas, a sort of 10th-century Star Wars tossed together with a plethora of elements taken from numerous classic fables.

There's a sunny feeling here that's impossible to deny: a warm, inviting tone unseen in more recent fare.
