Fabulous Films Willo the Wisp: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

“Down in the woods, where nobody sees, there’s a light dancing and that light is me!” These were the familiar introductory words from Willo the Wisp, the central character at the heart of this classic 1980’s animation series. Each story is based around characters found living in Doyley Woods. Alongside Willo, there was Mavis Cruet, the fairy, whose magic didn’t always work; Arthur, the intelligent caterpillar; Evil Edna, the witch who had been turned into a television set; Carwash, a cat; The Moog, a dog with very little brain; Twit, a bird and the Beast, who was a former Prince before he had been changed by Evil Edna. The series was written, directed and produced by Nicholas Spargo. The inspiration for the series originated from an animated educational film called Super Natural Gas, made in 1975 for British Gas. The character of Willo explained what natural gas is and how it is brought ashore.
