Willow Turns 30 (And Quiz!)

The 1988 fantasy flick, Willow, turns 30 this year. Along with heroism, babies, babes and sword fights, this movie really has it all.

  • The story was written by George Lucas, who also wrote films like Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to name a few.
  • The devil dogs that tore through the village looking for Elora were actually rottweilers in rubber masks and suits.
  • Madmartigan and Sorsha were married in real life after meeting on the film, though their relationship did end in divorce.
  • The film hired 225-240 “little people.” This was the largest ever casting call at the time according to Willow (Warwick Davis.)

As far as fantasy flicks go, this movie made a good chunk of change. This was impressive for the genre especially after the fantasy flops like Dragonslayer and Legend.
