The new Disney+ series Willow captures Tir Asleen with the same beauty and epic scope as the original. Our review:
In the midst of their success with franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and just a few years after they collaborated with Jim Henson on the fantastical adventure Labyrinth, Lucasfilm took a dip headfirst into the world of magic and high fantasy with their 1988 film Willow.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY As with every reboot or continuation of a popular franchise that graces our screens — and good lord, there are many — re-entering the world of Willow came with some trepidation for me. As someone who grew up on the beloved cheese of ‘80s fantasy films, I find it tough for contemporary filmmakers to capture the gauzy, made-of-styrofoam-and-a-prayer magic that makes so many of those movies work, Willow included.
It’s these characters that make up the heart of the series, along with Davis’s titular High Aldwin sorcerer, and for anyone worried that the new band of adventurers wouldn’t live up to the adventure and antics of Willow and Madmartigan, have no fear.
