(Hope I'm doing this right)
Him riding on top of a hilltop at the climax is seared into my mind.
Anything Terry Gilliam is basically a cheat code though
Randall, the lead pirate, has one of my favorite costumes of all time too. It's the most old-school Final Fantasy thing I've ever seen. Yoshitaka Amano's art style never gets adapted well, people should look towards that
Need to rewatch the Hellboy films (including The Crooked Man).

the set design and matte paintings were on another level as well. Willow might not hit the heights of Jackson's LotR, but it has charm and heart
... and hoo-golly the visuals.
like Willow and Meegosh meeting the regent of lesser Fairie, Cherlindrea, in the forest? Utterly captivating
seeing that movie in the theater as a kid *changed* me 😂
Instead of CGing a fantasy race, they just casted the right people. Plus George Lucas wanting to make his pal Warwick Davis the hero, idk it’s all so wholesome.
Plus the journey of self-confidence for each character. 🥹
