X153 WILLOW (8/8/98)

MOVIE
Willow is one of those films that reaches right out and grabs you by the crotch. It would go higher, but it couldn't. Warwick Davis is Willow, a smaller version of Captain Caveman that roams the countryside looking to become the David Copperfield of his kind. Billy Barty, the grand wizard, tells him that he isn't ready. So anyway, Wicket goes and finds Moses' sister drifting in the river and Billy Barty tells him to return it to the big people where she belongs. After getting together a band of impish warriors, they set off. They find Batman in a cage, who upon releasing takes over the campaign. They find some people even smaller then themselves called Brownies, who are obviously high. They also find this old chick that is currently in animal form. Finally they get to the big castle, and all the warriors are turned to pigs, while Willow does some bad stage magic and two old ladies fight. Also Skeltor is nowhere to be seen in this film.
