The Big Picture

  • Warwick Davis criticizes the decision to remove Willow from Disney+, expressing his frustration and disappointment on social media, and questioning how to explain the situation to disappointed fans.
  • The removal of Willow and other titles from streaming platforms like Max has led to a decrease in opportunities for fans to discover new films and shows, and has contributed to the start of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike over working conditions.
  • Although the future of Willow seemed uncertain before its removal, with discussions of a temporary pause rather than a definitive cancellation, the series' removal from Disney+ suggests that the studio will not be moving forward with any further development of the show, disappointing the cast and crew who had put in months of hard work.
