One of my childhood favorites. Yay.

[@BethGoth15]

The scene where the wife gives him her braid never fails to make me cry 😭

[@jacharyasj]

James horner played a huge part in why this movie is a classic. So many good themes.

[@karenhall4645]

This baby - she has the most amazing facial expressions.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

I think that I heard or read somewhere that one of their main reasons for "hiring" her was that she was so expressive and it gave them more to play off of and film.

[@unpossible4349]

This was my favorite childhood movie.

[@michellearamis]

Thanks for reminding me about this movie! One of my favorite childhood movies that got relegated to a vague, nameless memory. Gotta watch it again now!

[@Flix2Us]

Happy to help! I make a point of watching it at least a couple times a year. We all need that pleasant blast of nostalgia now and then!

[@spacedinosaur8733]

This is one of the first movies I watched in an actual theater not drive-ins or home video.

[@Flix2Us]

That's so cool! I've never been to a drive-in, but my parents went to those for years.

[@EthanBSide]

I was 9 years old in the theater. Great times!

[@space1999]

Pat roach also played the big Indian guy indiana Jones fought in temple of doom...

[@EthanBSide]

I like your channel and found this while looking up Willow as I love it like you do! Awesome! And your mom cussed, love it!

[@ScientificallyStupid]

I'm not sure why I'm seeing this now, except I thought, while watching it, that the filmmakers developing the live-action Legend of Zelda film could benefit from trying to achieve the same tone- there's a good usage of humor to provide relief from the darkness of the actual plot. This is the exact tone Sony/Nintendo needs if it's so hellbent on doing a live-action film (as opposed to animated). Lots of fantasy violence and magic that's grounded in reality and human emotion. I would love to know Nick's thoughts on that and if (when?) they really do make a film based on my number one favorite franchise, and you folks watch it, I'll be there for the good and bad.

Actually Warwick was 17 in this, and 11 when he was in Return of the Jedi. And Billy Barty was in many things, but the Wizard of oz isn't one of them. He said himself he was too young. Thanx for reacting to this, you both are awesome..xx

Joanne Whalley also played Scarlett O'Hara in the sequel to Gone With The Wind called Scarlett.

[@Psergiorivera]

I’ve never seen this one before, and I’m just started watching with you guys. Already loving the crazy queen and Nick’s soothing head tilts at the opening score. This is gonna be good

[@Psergiorivera]

And just finished. Wow, that was EPIC AND FUN! Great fun!

[@jsapcakrrow]

I have always loved this movie!

[@Flix2Us]

I cannot wait for the series! It looks so good!!!

[@rockon4853]
