Summary: What lingers behind
Review: This was one of the first movies I can remember watching, and it still haunts me. The book is one I return to year after year, and the movie does what is seldom done in adaptations and remains faithful to the text it was based on. The animation itself is wonderful, whimsical, and the characters linger in the mind long after the more mainstream looking characters of other movies blur in the mind. Almost twenty years later, the Red Bull still scares me. Schmedrick the magician is a loveable character, a failure as a magician who still keeps trying, and strikes a familiar chord in us all. I think any woman can relate to Molly Grue, still waiting for her unicorn. Even King Haggard is a sympathetic character if only in his selfishness. This is a definite must have to anyone who loves fantasy and unicorns. Though it might be a little too much for young children (it scared the pants off me the first time I watched it) it is something every child will appreciate. Heck, its something grownups will appreciate too, since I still love to read the book and watch the movie.

Summary: A First, also
Review: Other animation studios started doing what it took Disney until the Lion King to try a hand at. Putting an end to the candy coating of serious issues and emotions. While animators and actors at Disney had the muddy singing child abusers of Pete's Dragon making a laughing matter of an all too serious issue, other animated studios were giving children and adults the benefit of the doubt and credit to their ability to process and handle issues. They were also giving credit to the ability of animation to be a valid platform to put across serious issues and opinions, and to be a truly beautiful art form not just enjoyeable for children. The Last Unicorn's style of animation is based on famous tapestries that contain scenes depicting unicorns. The background thus created is beautiful, haunting, and unique. Character design is beautiful in its own right, the characters are no Sleeping Beauties or Prince Charmings but rather imperfect by usual standards of attractiveness and being such memorable and endearing. The characters deal with what it means to be human, regret, dissapointment, and the moral responsibility to do the right thing even if it means giving up something we desire. The heroes have serious faults, the antagonists are human with understandable intentions for their conduct, and yet the moral implication is clear with justice being delivered. I am not meaning to desecrate the sacred name of Disney, for surely I own most of their movies, and completely respect what they have done in their feild. I will, however, say that they were slow to fully realize the capability of their genre and that smaller studios that created films such as The Last Unicorn and lent a little more credit to their audience deserve a little of the credit returned. This movie is certainly a must-see.

Summary: not for small kids
Review: I was shocked thatthis had a G rating with the language used. Not for small kids who are impressionable and repeat what they hear. Other than that a good fanatsy story.

Summary: Great movie
Review: I've been watching this for as long as I can remember, and I've always loved it. It has all the elements of a great epic in a format that's great for kids and yet deep enough for adults. I can't wait to get the DVD

Summary: soooooooo great...
Review: this (and the transformers move-but they're in two completely different categories) is my favorite animated movie ever.
usually animated movies are dull and childish.
this movie is really a great one-animated or not. i was looking to see if they had it for dvd but apparently-no dice.
i really do hope they put it out on dvd my tape is well over ten years old now and it'd be a shame if i could no longer watch it. if you're into fantasy or if you're not-if you're into animated movies or if you're not-you'll love this movie (if you have any taste at all). this is a great movie.

Summary: The shaping of my childhood
Review: The Last Unicorn was probably the single most important movie of my childhood; it encouraged my creative mind, gave me an adult appreciation of difficult choices, and stunned me with its intense visual beauty. I have owned a copy since 1982, and intend my children to watch it also. Unlike so many modern children's films, it has not been edited to prevent anything 'scary' from impacting on a child. The Red Bull *is* frightening, but as so much of childhood can be scary, how could a loving parent NOT expose their child to the harsher realities? This film is poignant, vivid, beautiful, and spectacular. I recommend it both to adult and to children. The animation is marvelous, and the voice acting perfect. Mia Farrow's ethereal voice is the only one that could fit the delicate unicorn. Watch this film, buy it, and treasure it forever!

Summary: A Fizzle
Review: Jeff Bridges disappoints in this film. I bought this VHS believing him to be capable of truely bringing Prince Lir to life, just as he turned "the Dude" (The Big Lebowski) and Nero Finnighan (The Yin and Yang of Mr. Go) into vibrant, memorable characters. The same can be said of Mia Farrow, who plays the voice of the unicorn herself...

Summary: I figured it out
Review: I could never put my finger on what was so special about this movie until today, and I decided to write a review describing it. The movie deals with immortality and eternity. How some things never really end. That is what is so special about it to me. The desire to live on after death, if only in the memories of those who knew us.

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: I have loved this movie since I was a little girl, and it is still my favorite movie. I would really like to see it come out on DVD before my VHS copy wears out.
