Shout by Miguel A. Reina

Willow 1988

[Disney+] Recycling of classic adventure stories that leans on Tolkien to use numerous literary references, from "Gulliver's Travels" to biblical chronicles. An adventure film directed by Ron Howard, who is directed by George Lucas, which has lost now some of its original strength but none of his charm, with a charismatic Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer carrying the clone of Han Solo to ground closer to Errol Flynn and a thrillingly beautiful score by James Horner that sounds closer to Prokofiev than ever before.

@miguelreina, you do realize this released in 1988 right? This isn't Disney copying off of Tolkien because the LOTR movies came out in 2001 and this came out prior to those movies.

@j_dub89 Thank you for your comment. The novel "The Hobbit" was published in 1937 and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was published in 1954. George Lucas wanted to buy the rights of both publications for many years, and the similarities are evident though, as I also commented, there are numerous other literary references, just as there were in "Star Wars". Did you delete the "dumbass, idiot lol" part?
