Willow

Willow (1988) is a fantasy adventure from director Ron Howard that you can watch online on iFILM. Willow Ufgood is a small farmer with big ambitions — he wants to be a sorcerer. What he gets instead is a human baby washed ashore near his village, and a prophecy that turns the entire world against him.

The infant, Elora Danan, is destined to end the reign of the wicked Queen Bavmorda — which makes her a target. Warwick Davis plays Willow as someone fundamentally out of his depth who refuses to quit. Val Kilmer's Madmartigan is the wild-card soldier who joins the quest, mostly for self-interested reasons, and becomes something more. The two bicker nonstop. It works.

Produced by George Lucas and powered by ILM effects — including some of the earliest digital morphing seen on screen — Willow holds up as old-fashioned adventure filmmaking done right. Stream Willow (1988) online on iFILM.
