Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Words cannot express
Review: This is a beautiful, moving story that captures our desire to keep magic in the world even as we outgrow it. As a child this story moved me to tears, and as an adult it still does. Magic, adventure, imagination, romance, deep internal struggles to find oneself--it has it all. Those who liked the movie might also want to encourage their children to read the book written by Peter S. Beagle. The movie parallels it beautifully. Music is performed by the group America, and the poetry of the words is just beautiful! Kudos to Mia Farrow for bringing this beautiful unicorn to life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is a fantastic movie and isn't your typical roses-and-love "cartoon." It is a well-thought and wonderful animated film.

I actually have a copy of the German DVD that I've seen several times (both in English and German) and I've fallen in love all over again with this movie. Can't wait to see the american DVD of it to see it on something larger than my computer screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Radiates all the best from my childhood
Review: I watched this at least a dozen times when I was a kid and I could never get past the beauty and wonder of this movie. I have been waiting 15 years for the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Last Unicorn
Review: I have been in prison for eleven years and still am currently incarcerated. The only thing that has helped me serve my sentence is my recollection this movie. I replay it over and over again in my head. It gives me a great peace. I think children and adults alike can find something special about this movie. When I get out of jail in July, I will buy a copy right away. I am glad it's on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fab childhood favorite on DVD--FINALLY!!
Review: This DVD is a must-have for everyone like me, who loved this movie as a kid and want it for nostalgia's sake, as well as for kids today who have never seen it before but are guaranteed to love it.

The VHS of this movie, the story of "the last" of the unicorns on a quest to find others like herself, was a staple of my childhood; I have been looking to add this to my DVD collection forever, and I'm thrilled I finally can.

Stirring, heartwarming, and uniquely bittersweet, this movie is truly a classic that more than deserves this updated release.

(NOTE: Parents with sensitive children might want to view it first: some scenes are pretty dark and scary for little ones, but if they can handle it, it will be a story they treasure.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful and a Treasure
Review: This movie was a childhood favorite of mine! I loved the animation and story back then - even more today! The beauty and enchantment of it takes you into a wondrous and mythical world.
This is a great buy and a wonderful memory to have and share with future generations. I can NOT wait to own it on dvd.

Enjoy!

Summary: Slightly scary
Review: I'm gonna start off by saying "It's not for Kids"! This movie while really good is kinda scary. It was done by the same animators who did the animated version of THE HOBBIT and THE RETURN OF THE KING. I think a lot of parents during the late 70's and early 80's made the mistake of thinking that these films were designed for young children and nothing is farther from the truth. That being said its a haunting film the harpie will scare you but all in all a great film for fantasy lovers. Look at it this way animation was a way to get around the special effects problem.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They don't make them like this anymore.
Review: This has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember. The story, the animation, everything about this is beautiful. I wish they still made movies like this.
This is about a Unicorn who hears rumor that she is the last of her kind. She leaves her forest on a journey to find the others, or to discover what happened to them. On the way she befriends some mortals, Schmedrick the Magician, and Molly Grue, who join her on her quest.
This follows the book pretty closely, although this is tad bit happier. The only thing I could have done without was Lady Almalthea and Prince Lirs singing---couldn't they have had someone else do the singing? It's ok in a nails-on-the-blackboard kinda way. And it doesn't detract from the movie at all.
In short, this is a wonderful story for both young and old, or anyone looking for a little magic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow
Review: This movie is great. I have loved it since I was a child (when I watched it several times a week), and continue to do so as I get older. Some of the songs are a little, well, cheesy, but the story is just wonderful.
My VHS is worn, I would really love it if this movie would come out on DVD!
