00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:03.240
Will families be charmed
by the small-screen

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:04.620
adaptation of Willow?

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:05.868
[Music plays]

00:00:05.868 --> 00:00:07.846
"How will you defeat us?"

00:00:07.846 --> 00:00:08.880
"Same as last time..."

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.240
Well, it certainly casts
a winning spell.

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:13.080
"...with my friends."

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.877
Based on the 1988 film,
this fantasy adventure

00:00:16.877 --> 00:00:20.280
series follows a wizard
and his motley crew on a

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.020
quest in the kingdom
of Nockmaar.

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:23.220
"The world needs you again."

00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:26.700
Like the original movie, the
show has some violent thrills.

00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.240
We're talking lots of dark
imagery, frequent swordplay,

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:33.420
fights against scary-looking
monsters, and a bloody

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:35.220
battlefield littered
with dead bodies.

00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:36.300
[Monster roars] 
"Run!"

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:40.980
Romance-wise, expect lots
of kissing and innuendo, like

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:43.740
sex jokes that may go
over younger kids' heads.

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:45.120
"I'm going to enjoy this."

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:46.980
"If you're thinking what
I'm thinking, so am I."

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:50.160
As for positives, teamwork
and courage are the major

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.280
themes, but characters also
learn to have empathy

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.360
and understanding.

00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:56.040

00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:59.940
Common Sense says Willow
is OK for kids 11 and up, and

00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:02.400
we've named it a Common
Sense Selection.
