Is "Willow" Finally Coming to Blu-Ray?

According to the Spanish blu-ray site Mubis, it appears that Willow, the still-incredibly-awesome 1988 fantasy film directed by Ron Howard and produced by George Lucas is finally coming out on blu-ray this fall. 

For anyone unfamiliar with Willow, it was a little bit of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz, Snow White, and Indiana Jones all basically mashed up in the same movie.  It starred a post-Ewok, pre-Hogwarts professor Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood, an aspiring wizard (and dad) on a mission to protect a baby girl who, according to prophecy, will one day destroy the evil Queen Bavmorda (Jean Marsh).  Willow's adventure takes him far from home where he will meet the smartass reluctant hero Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), a pair of tiny creatures called Brownies (Kevin Pollack and Rick Overton), and the sorceress Fin Raziel (Patricia Hayes).  Then there's the main bad guy, the skull-helmeted General Kael (Pat Roach - a veteran baddie from the Indiana Jones movies), along with assorted trolls, wild dogs, and a two-headed dragon.

Fun fact:  the two-headed dragon, called "Eborsisk", was reportedly named after film critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel.

Willow had the misfortune of opening the same summer as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Big, so, sadly, it got a bit lost in the box office shuffle.  But it's still a totally fun movie, so finally getting a decent blu-ray version would be a nice early holiday treat.

And just for old time's sake, here's one of the original trailers:
