FAQ

I have heard several people say that willow was really a tall person (6'1"), but through the magic of film, he was reduced down to 3'1". Is this true, or is this just another tall tale (pun intended)?

This movie has everything! Well... Lots of things!, 5 August 1999
10/10
Author: Michael Bregman from Michael Bregman

A wonderful fantasy full with lots of wonderful creatures and characters. The plot is great and the cast is brilliant. I wish this movie was more known, it's almost a hidden gem.

The movie is just one exciting ride after the other.

It's one of the best fantasy movies ever made, and if you're a fantasy fan you just got to see this one. I wish there were more movies of that kind, hopefully the upcoming Lord Of The Rings will deliver similar excitement.
