These free screenings are part of MOXIE FLIX, a monthly series focusing on essential films for kids to see before they turn 13. This series was made possible by a grant from the Missouri Arts Council and the Springfield Regional Arts Council.

When a good-hearted farmer named Willow Ufgood discovers a baby girl prophesized to end the rule of the evil queen Bavmorda, he sets out on an adventure to return the child to her people. Encountering all manner of creatures and characters, Willow finds both companionship and villainy along with a newfound skill as a sorcerer.

Willow was a story created and produced by George Lucas and directed by the celebrated filmmaker Ron Howard. With actor Warwick Davis in his first leading role, the film featured pioneering use of digital technology by Industrial Light & Magic and remains a classic of fantasy cinema to this day.
