With the 1988 original heading back to 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray on 16th December it’s understandable that star Warwick Davis would reminisce, not only on the film but the Disney Plus series from 2022 which ran for 8 episodes from 30th November 2022 until its cancellation and subsequent removal from the Disney Plus platform on 26th May 2023. Posting on X today he made clear his dissatisfaction at the situation.

What did you think of Willow, and do you sympathise with Warwick? Let us know on Fantha social media or email radio@fanthatracks.com and we’ll discuss it on a future episode of Making Tracks.
