Before Lord of the Rings ruled the fantasy world, there was Willow (1988)—a tale of wizards, warriors, and what has to be the hungriest baby of all time. Warwick Davis plays a farmer-turned-hero, Val Kilmer swaggers in as a rogue swordsman, and together, they take on an evil queen, sketchy magic, and an angry guy named Kael. It’s got action, adventure, and enough ‘80s charm to make you forgive the occasional awkward blue screen. Is it an underrated fantasy gem or just Diet Lord of the Rings? Let’s grab our magic acorns and find out.
