Willow was also the name of a movie about a dwarf apprentice wizard, starring Val Kilmer.

And the name of a tree, too.

It's a great movie.

I used to get Willow confused with Star Wars. Feck knows how.

Perhaps because both were made by George Lucas?

I love little filmic myths, and was a Willow fan despite its flaws.  Pleasantly surprised that George put a nice wooden windmill in the Willow village, constantly turning, back in the days when the Altamont Pass was becoming a reality.  Got to thank him for that at the premiere.
