“I’m quiet about the news that Willow is leaving Disney+ because… I’m a little interested in it. I grew up in a time when Disney movies were occasionally re-released and impossible to own, and that made them… even more special. I’m worried about a lot of things…but none of them Willow will be on Disney+ anymore, maybe…elsewhere, and you never know where that could lead…weird things happen was. I am so grateful for all the love and enthusiasm; It’s really what keeps these worlds alive.”
Millenials are used to (and don’t even miss) reprints.
Any millennial and boomer will tell you that past generations valued certain experiences more than they do today because we didn’t always have full catalogs. For some of the less popular titles, just sitting down to watch them can become a real chore, as you’d either find them on the bottom shelves of video stores or wait for network TV or cable to show them (probably in a weird time slot) i). Kasdan’s tweets it appreciates the nostalgiaand even you may not agree however, you can take comfort in the fact that the screenwriter is absolutely sure of it Willow will not disappear forever.
Willow It’s a sequel to the 80s cult classic of the same name, starring both. Warwick Davis (Harry Potter film series) as the main character, a farmer who must protect a boy from an evil sorcerer.
