While there were some cool magic effects later on in the show, and the special effects in general were fine, the costumes were so bad. Truly a mind-bogglingly awful creative decision.

James Horner’s terrific, unique fantasy score for the Willow movie remains one of the best film soundtracks of all time, but Kasdan and Lucasfilm replaced this with a soundtrack almost devoid of character-and then added in a bunch of modern rock songs-just to drive home the point that they had no idea who the target audience was for this show. Did we need five characters in this age demographic when the original film was about a young father and a roguish swordfighter trying to protect a baby with the help of a pair of brownies? A bizarre mix of very modern sounding dialogue with a cast that was primarily late teen / early 20s’ and-for all its diversity-extremely uniform. Here’s a list of everything Willow got wrong: The problem? I’m not sure even most teenagers like shows that so badly misunderstand how teenagers think these days.
If you want to ignore both those crucial demographics and target teens with a CW-style romance, you have Willow the TV show.
There’s a way to craft a story that appeals to younger kids and their parents and the blueprint is the Willow film. The show’s tone felt directed at a teenage demographic that doesn’t exist-but fits squarely outside the demographic most interested in this kind of fantasy: Kids and their parents. Willow got off to a terrible start right out the gates.
