Share this Article:

Ron Howard and George Lucas’s 1988 fantasy adventure collaboration Willow is heading to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. More here.

Here’s a pleasant surprise to nearly round out the physical media year. Ron Howard’s much-loved fantasy film Willow, starring Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley and Val Kilmer, is coming to the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format for the first time.

The disc has been confirmed for a 16th December 2024 release, and you can find more on it – and order yourself a copy – right here.

If you’ve not yet had the pleasure, Willow was a collaboration between George Lucas and Ron Howard, a 1988 film that got mixed reviews on its original release, and decent box office. Cracking score from the much-missed James Horner you get too.

The disc release comes with extra features as well, namely this little lot…

Deleted Scenes with Ron Howard
The Making Of An Adventure with Ron Howard
From Morf To Morphing with Dennis Muren
Willow : An Unlikely Hero – Personal Video Diary of Warwick Davis
Matte Paintings and more

There’s a 4K disc and Blu-ray in the box, so we’re guessing those extras will be on the latter.

Finally then, the synopsis for the film in case you’re not familiar with the movie…

From legendary filmakers George Lucas and Ron Howard comes Willow, a timeless fantasy tale where heroes come in all sizez. When Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) finds and abandoned baby girl, he learns she is destined to end the reign of wicked Queen Bavmorda. Willow teams up with a rogue swordsman (Val Kilmer) to protect the child against the darkness. It’s the ultimate story of good versus evil – with magic and danger – in this special edition that includes stunning bonus features.

Willow is available for preorder now. Far more available than the 2022 Willow TV series, which Disney has deleted.

Here’s to a lot more catalogue 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray releases in 2025…
