Review: I remember seeing Willow in the theaters as a kid.  Its a vivid memory, because at the time the film freaked me out.  The skull headed general..the multi-headed monster..the creepy dog monsters..it was just too much for me as a kid.  I remember having a kids meal cup from Burger King of that multi-headed monster that was temperature sensitive.   I remember the toys..I still have some of them in my personal collection.  What I didn't remember all that much of was the actual film itself.  I hadn't seen it since I was a kid in the 1980s and my memory of it was pretty good, but what I didn't remember was the very Lucas-inspired tone of the film...it was almost Ron Howard's love letter to Lucas, who wrote the film.   The movie looks amazing on blu-ray, the high definition transfer does it well.  I really enjoyed the whimsical nature of the movie and the fantastic fantasy elements.  Willow stands the test of time and is a great addition to any blu-ray library.
