Rating: Summary: real good Review: A wonderful story of a unicorn discovering that she is the only one left, or is she?
Rating: Summary: Not for younger children Review: I had this video for a while, although it is well done and a pretty good story, the use of crude language may suprise you. It is not for little kids who are impressionable or rerpeat what they hear.
Rating: Summary: The Last Unicorn? Review: Not many people have heard about this beautiful movie. With original songs by America and huge stars as voice actors, the movie is great and charming. The animation is that of Japanese creators but the story is understandable and beautiful. I love watching this at least every other month!
Rating: Summary: Very cool movie! Review: This was one of my favorite movies since childhood, and I love it as much today as an adult as I did then. This is a fun movie for both kids and adults and the animation is very cool. Everybody should give this one a try. It's great!!
Rating: Summary: Long awaited DVD Review: This is the best movie. I am still waiting for the next edition to The Last Unicorn; the DVD. This movie deserves to be on DVD. I can't wait until I can watch the special material, such as the original trailer. I only wish they would hurry up and make it.
Rating: Summary: Still one of my MOST favorite movies!!! Review: My mother tells me that when I was little, I used to make her rent this movie every week. I still remember what the old cover looked like. I have to say that I bought a copy a few years ago and I still watch it every once and a while. I know all the songs by heart - I can still repeat my favorite lines - This is an incredible movie for all ages that I think everyone should watch to get a glimpse of that magic of the imagination that we tend to forget exists after we've grown up!The plot of the movie is based on the book by Peter S. Beagle(read it if you like fantasy!), but I have to say that I like the movie better. Of course, the author did the screenplay, so that might explain why the movie is so good. It's about a unicorn searching the world for others of her immortal kind. On her journey, she meets humans who help her on her path, like Schmendrick(sp?) the bumbling magician who transforms her into a human woman to carry out her quest, Molly Grue the cynical outlaw, and Prince Lir who becomes a hero for her sake. But some of those she meets, like Mommy Fortuna the witch and King Haggard with his castle by the sea, will try to stop her from solving the mystery of her lost people. Will she be able to hold onto herself long enough overcome the ominous Red Bull who drove the other unicorns down all the roads long ago? Again, I say that this is one of the movies that defined my childhood, one of the things that convinced me I wanted to be a writer and believe in the magic of imagination. This is a great movie for kids, but there's plenty there for an adult to appreciate as well. Buy it and watch it!!! It's worth it.
Rating: Summary: True to the Book Review: The VHS copy I have is lousy for some reason so I'm looking forward to the DVD. Aside from being nicely drawn and well- cast for voices, and aside from its very pleasant musical score, this movie is one of the rare ones which actually follows the original story faithfully. It is of course impossible to put into a 94 minute movie all the detail of a book which takes a bit longer than that to read, but this movie- amazingly- captures all of the essential story penned by Peter Beagle in 1968. It tells it in order and all the dialogue is directly from the book- Beagle did the screenplay, I believe- and it is a proof of his talent that his words fit directly on paper or on film.
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing!! Review: All I hafta say is WOW!! I saw this movie when I was, I think 3 or 4. I absolutely loved it. It has very good animation and has great songs. I want this movie to be put on DVD. I have the VHS, but I lost it. Now, I just want the DVD. This movie would entertain anybody no matter what the age. Little kids would expecially love this movie because it has to deal w/ fairy tale animals like dragons, and of course unicorns!
Rating: Summary: Sarah's Comments: Review: I have loved this movie ever since I was a child. I would ask my mother to rent it over and over and over from the video store. I can't believe they just didn't give it to us!! As a child I sang along with the songs that set the mood, and can even today recall the lyrics. I am 16 and still in love with this great treasure, infact, I just ordered it, and when I get more money in my account, I am also going to order the book. I suggest this movie to anyone who likes unicorns, or great 80's movies, like me.
Rating: Summary: BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME Review: I have owned this movie since I was a child, and still watch it on a regular basis. The music is amazing, the characters real, the love unforgettable. I also read the book recently, and hope that the remake in 2003 will incorporate more of the story than the animated version did. Truly animation's greatest masterpiece.
