Check out the Blu-ray trailer for Ron Howard's 1988 fantasy epic heading to Blu-ray in March!
As previously reported, 20th Century Fox has slated 'Willow: 25th Anniversary Edition' for Blu-ray on March 12.
Written and produced by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard, the film tells a timeless fantasy tale in which heroes come in all sizes...and adventure is the greatest magic of all.

When young Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis; 'Harry Potter' franchise) finds an abandoned baby girl, he learns she is destined to end the reign of the wicked Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh; “Upstairs, Downstairs”). In order to protect the child, Willow must team up with a rogue swordsman (Val Kilmer; 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang') and overcome the forces of darkness in the ultimate battle of good versus evil!
