Willow (1988)
Opis: Classic fantasy adventure featuring a reluctant hero, magical prophecies, and a battle against dark forces. Combines humor with high-stakes storytelling in a fully realized fantasy world.
Fakt: George Lucas conceived the story as a way to create a fantasy film that wasn't as dark as most offerings at the time. The film pioneered several visual effects techniques later used in Jurassic Park.


The Golden Compass (2007)
Opis: Alternate-world fantasy with armored bears, witches, and a young protagonist caught in a cosmic struggle. Explores deep philosophical themes within an adventure framework.
Fakt: The daemons (animal companions) were created using a combination of CGI and trained animals. The film's alethiometer prop was so detailed it contained over 40 moving parts.


Stardust (2007)
Opis: Whimsical fantasy blending adventure, romance, and magic. Features a hidden magical kingdom, sky pirates, and a quest for a fallen star, all with a fairy tale aesthetic.
Fakt: Author Neil Gaiman wrote the story to be an adult fairy tale that would feel like a classic. The film's wall separating the mundane and magical worlds was inspired by Hadrian's Wall in England.


Carnival Row (2019)
Opis: A dark fantasy series blending political intrigue, mythical creatures, and a richly constructed world. Explores themes of oppression, migration, and forbidden love in a Victorian-inspired setting.
Fakt: Originally conceived as a film script in 2005, it took over a decade to develop into a TV series. The show's fae creatures were created using a mix of prosthetics and CGI.


The Tudors (2007)
Opis: Historical drama with grand political machinations, lavish costumes, and intricate power struggles. While not fantasy, it shares the same sense of epic storytelling and complex character dynamics.
Fakt: Despite covering Henry VIII's entire reign, the series compresses the timeline significantly. The show's costumes were so detailed they sometimes took over 100 hours to create.


The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
Opis: High fantasy adventure featuring dwarves, elves, and wizards on a perilous quest. Showcases breathtaking landscapes, detailed creature designs, and themes of courage against overwhelming odds.
Fakt: Director Peter Jackson used revolutionary high-frame-rate technology (48fps) for this film. The dwarves' singing scene in Bag End was filmed in one continuous take lasting nearly 6 minutes.


The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
Opis: Seafaring fantasy adventure with themes of faith, courage, and self-discovery. Features magical creatures, enchanted islands, and a journey to the edge of the world.
Fakt: This was the first Narnia film to be converted to 3D during production rather than after. The Dawn Treader ship was a full-scale, seaworthy vessel built for the production.


The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
Opis: Continues the epic journey with more fantastical creatures, elaborate set pieces, and deepening political tensions. Features one of cinema's most impressive dragon depictions.
Fakt: Benedict Cumberbatch performed Smaug's motion capture while lying on a table to simulate the dragon's movements. The barrels-down-the-river sequence took over a year to plan and execute.


The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)
Opis: Grand-scale fantasy warfare with multiple factions clashing in an epic conclusion. Maintains the series' signature attention to detail in armor, weapons, and battle tactics.
Fakt: The battle scenes required so many extras that the production had to recruit soldiers from the New Zealand army. Some of the orc prosthetics took up to 5 hours to apply each morning.


The Wheel of Time (2021)
Opis: Epic fantasy series with a rich, detailed world, complex lore, and a battle between light and dark forces. Features a diverse cast of characters on a quest to fulfill ancient prophecies.
Fakt: Based on Robert Jordan's bestselling book series, which spans 14 novels. The show was filmed in the Czech Republic and features elaborate practical effects alongside CGI.
