Rating: Summary: Wonderful movie, awful DVD Review: ... This is an all time classic animated movie. So beautiful and touching, but this DVD release, for all the time we've waited for it, looks like it was knocked up in an afternoon. Shabby VHS->DVD transfer with hazy, shakey images and rough sound, no extras of any kind and in 4:3 only. What a tragedy! :-(To everyone that was as disappointed as me with the poor quality of the DVD, I urge you to look forward to the cinematic release of Peter S. Beagle's remake of The Last Unicorn, featuring a number of the original cast. ...
Rating: Summary: Lovely film Review: Ever since I was a little girl I've adored this movie. When I heard they planned on relasing it on DVD. I was extermly happy. Only, I expected more special features...Possibly a trailer. Stuff like that. Doesn't mean I wasn't pleased with the movie itself. It was as I remebered it and I really enjoyed it. I really recommed this movie. Dvd or Vhs...
Rating: Summary: Very disappointing Review: I remember loving this movie. Now I reget buying it due to the extremely poor quality of the DVD. Aside from the grainy picture quality and poor sound and music, I am very angry that there was no mention that this was the FULL SCREEN version on Amazon. I will keep this in mind the next time I consider purchasing something through them.
Rating: Summary: Biggest Disappointment! Review: The Last Unicorn is one of my favorite animated films of all time and I have waited years for this movie to be released on DVD. The soundtrack is wonderful too, and I listen to it often. You can imagine how excited I was when I got the Amazon notification that it would finally be available, so the movie itself gets 5 stars but this edition gets 1 star and deserves nothing more. This has to be the absolute worse picture quality I have ever seen on a DVD...heck the VHS copy has to be better than this. The sound quality is terrible too, sounding almost like a record, and there are absolutely no extras. Not to mention that the movie was only released in full screen, but I could have dealt with that had the rest of the DVD been done right. Artisan/FHE did such a shoddy job with this DVD that I will be very careful when picking up anything else from them in the future. I tried to return my copy, but of course since the seal was broken, they could do nothing about it so I resold it online and have ordered a no region copy of the German release, which is supposed to look and sound great. I haven't got it yet, but I recommend anyone wanting this movie to consider that for themselves. Maybe Artisan/FHE will take the hint and actually give us some credit by releasing a version of The Last Unicorn worth paying for.
Rating: Summary: Amazing movie but a Horrible DVD Review: This is a horrible release of this classic!! Everything is horrible from the picture quality to the cover art.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Movie, lousy DVD Review: This is an amazing, beautiful cartoon, but the DVD treatment borders on calous. It suffers from lousy video quality and a brutal pan-and-scan fullscreen treatment that frequently leaves both characters in a converstaion hanging off the edge of the screen. Still, it's the only Last Unicorn we're likely to get, so go buy it anyway.
Rating: Summary: Ouch! Review: Just adding my two cents to the mounting disgruntlement over this release. The picture quality is terrible, the music is so loud that you often can't hear what characters are saying, it's fullscreen, and it looks to be a bad transfer from video. All in all, this DVD is the pits. The folks who released it should be ashamed.
Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL MOVIE BUT HORRIBLE DVD RELEASE!!! Review: I have been waiting for a region 1 dvd for a long time and I couldnt wait to watch this wonderful film on my widescreen HDTV, only to find out this has been released fullscreen, so I decided to rent this movie instead of buying. Not only is this movie fullscreen but it looks like a bad VHS transfer. unexcusable! This dvd should have never been released like this. ...
Rating: Summary: Major complaints, but it's The Last Unicorn! Review: Other reviews have already covered this, but I'll say it again, because it really is a horrible transfer. Not only is it only full frame, but it's not even full frame. It looks like someone filmed a television showing the VHS copy, and didn't zoom in all the way. And to add insult to this wonderful story, the synopsis on the back is ridiculous, and the one feature (closed captioning) spells some of the main characters' names wrong. Still, I cannot give it as bad of a rating as others have because it IS The Last Unicorn on DVD. It's a wonderful movie. Buy it on sale.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie, Poor Quality Release Review: I cannot believe this movie was released in such poor condition. it's fully screen only. The audio sounds like a cassette tape. The picture is dark and blurry. There is distortion along the top of the picture. There are no special features whatsoever. Such a tragedy that this great movie was treated like this.
