‘Willow’ is Coming on Blu-ray – Finally!

I’ll be adding this one to my DVD/Blu-ray collection. Lucasfilm will be releasing Willow on Blu-ray for the very first time on March 12, 2013. The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack is a fully digitally restored version of the classic tale, which first hit theaters 25 years ago.

The Blu-ray release celebrates the film’s 25th anniversary and will include new extra features and exclusive content. Willow was directed by Ron Howard and written & produced by George Lucas and stars Val Kilmer, Warwick Davis, and Jean Marsh.

The Plot:

When young Willow Ufgood (Davis) finds an abandoned baby girl, he learns she is destined to end the reign of the wicked Queen Bavmorda (Marsh). In order to protect the child, Willow must team up with a rogue swordsman (Kilmer) and overcome the forces of darkness in the ultimate battle of good versus evil!
