Summary: Spare Animation, too many pop ballads...
Review: A delicate white unicorn (voiced by Mia Farrow) who believes herself to be the last of her kind sets out on a search for other mythological creatures. Along the trek she meets a bumbling wizard named Schmendrick (Alan Arkin) who accidentally transforms her from equine to human. She finds herself on the, er, horn of a dilemma. Somewhere between Mommy Fortuna's (Angela Lansbury) traveling curiosity show and the castle of the evil King Haggard (Christopher Lee), the unicorn meets Prince Lir (Jeff Bridges) and has to decide whether or not to tell him the truth about herself. Based on the novel by Peter S. Beagle, music by soft-pop group "America". A great sotry that doesn't quite work in this awkard animation style -- I'm curious to see how the live action version (currently in production) will fare.

Summary: Awesome animation
Review: I really enojoy this movie. I watched it all the time when I was younger, and it always made me cry, and still does. Even though I watched it as a kid, it doesn't geared towards children to me for some reason. Mainly b/c it's somewhat dark and I didn't really understand it as a child, but I still liked it. I definitely appreciate it more now, and it still makes me sad. Almost like a drama more than a cartoon I would say. I also really like the animation. I've never seen another cartoon like this one. It seems almost like a gothic style cartoon. I can't really describe it, but I like it! I would reccomend this to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A timeless Classic
Review: This is an awesome movie. I love the animation, but I'm a sucker for the "classic" look. I also love the music, I think that America did a great job on the soundtrack. The opening song for this movie is one I will NEVER forget. This is for you Last Unicorn fans who also love The Lord of the Ring series, they are making a live action movie of The Last Unicorn. The release date is Christmas 2006. I searched high and low for information of this and was so very excited when I found they are really doing it. Here is the web site: http://www.the-last-unicorn.net/info.htm. This sites gives you all the information you need to know about the movie in progress and even has a video clip of the horse they are going to use. Even better, the 2nd unit director of the Lord of the Ring series is going to be the director of The Last Unicorn movie! I can't wait, a live action version of my all time favorite animated movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD leaves something to be desired
Review: I've loved both the written and animated versions of "The Last Unicorn" since I was a kidlet. I recently bought the DVD and was sorely disappointed in the quality of the DVD video and sound.

I found I still am just as in love with the story as before, but I'll either purchase the German version (unedited dialogue, widescreen, cleaned up colors, Dolby 5.1, trailer, cast profiles, etc.) or the UK version (unedited dialogue, cleaned up color, Dolby 2.0, trailer, cast profiles) or (most likely) wait for a well-done release with Special Features that are more than Scene Selection.

I hope it comes out soon!
