Based on a story by STAR WARS creator George Lucas, WILLOW is director Ron Howard's fantasy world of medieval adventure. WILLOW stars Val Kilmer as Madmartigan, a swashbuckling warrior, and Warwick Davis as the title character. In a mythical kingdom, the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh) plots to kill all infants so that the newborn princess, Elora, will never take over the throne. But a midwife sets the baby adrift in a river, and she is rescued by Willow, a farmer in Nelwyn, a peaceful village of trolls, fairies, and little folk. Willow and Madmartigan begin a quest to deliver the baby from evil while being chased by Queen Bavmorda’s daughter, Sorsha (Joanne Whalley), sent to bring the baby back to Nockmaar. Director Howard benefited from his affiliation with George Lucas on the film--Lucas’s company, Industrial Light and Magic, contributed the Oscar-nominated special effects. Lucas, the executive producer of WILLOW, went on to create a series of books based on the world of WILLOW, the SHADOW WAR series.
Madmartigan: Let me out of here, Airk. Give me a sword, I'll win this war for you.
Airk: I still serve Galadorn, you serve no one. Remember? Just sit in your coffin and rot.

Madmartigan: I'll be around long after you're dead! When I get out of here, I'm gonna cut your head off and stick it on a pig pole!
At least it would appear to be a paradise for someone, though they apparently put a lot of work into maintaining the area. What a lovely pond, and setting. I think I would be somewhere near the willow tree relaxing and reading a book if it were mine. Source: Ezthemes Size: (615 Kb)
A peaceful lake of moving water is reflecting a country church and an array of Summer flowers. A family of swans glide gracefully across the lake and an occasional fish can be seen jumping out of the water. The optional music is Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky. Source: Ezthemes Size: (1486 Kb)
