There’s no getting rid of Ultron.

Don’t miss the epic season finale of Marvel Television’s #VisionQuest, streaming Tuesday at 6PM PT only on Disney+.

We’re always looking for opportunities to create fun and fantastic monsters. One of ILM’s earliest was the Eborsisk from Lucasfilm’s 1988 fantasy adventure Willow. This two-headed dragon emerges after a bewitched troll falls into a pool in the midst of a battle at Tir Asleen castle. It takes Val Kilmer’s roguish hero Madmartigan to defeat this vicious beast, which was chiefly animated by Phil Tippett.
