Willow

Krull, Labyrinth, Legend...Willow.

Plot: Evil Queen imprisons pregnant women 'cos there's this prophecy that says a little girl is gonna kill her. The baby is born in a dungeon, spirited away by the midwife and then, as she's being chased by dogs, she sticks said baby in a raft and lets fate take a turn. Willow (Warwick Davis- a Hobbit-sized fella and trainee magician type) finds the kid and is entrusted to take her back to the land of the big folk. No one wants her though. Then he meets Val Kilmer, who's in a cage by the side of the road and agrees to help Willow if he lets him out. Then these brown fairy types nick her and then there's a big war and Willow does some magic and the day is eventually saved.

Yep. Been a while since I saw it, can't be bothered seeing it again. Never bothered by it the first time around.

Budget: $35,000,000

Gross: $57,269,863

Fun Fact: There was talk of a TV series in 2005 and Davis is still hoping for a film sequel...keep hoping mate.
