The adventures are still going on in an interesting film. Where Willow, a magician of young trainee farmers, meets the mighty Swordsman, as they travel together in a war-torn land of magic and monsters, to rescue a little princess from death at the hands of a wicked queen. This child will achieve prophecy and eliminate the queen. In the middle of a series of events they will face in achieving this goal.
This is how I always figured the project got started: ILM called Ron, and said 'Ronnnnnnn, we're BORED.'

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

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.
