Summary: The Last Unicorn
Review: I have been watching this movie since I was about four or five years old. I have found that no matter what point of life you are at this movie applies to your situation, at least for me. To me it is about finding yourself. She leaves the forest alone to find others like herself. It's about taking risks in your life to find those that see things as you do. I work with youth and I feel that it is a movie that young women can benefit from seeing. Underneath all of the cartoon characters are personas that most people can relate to. In the end the message to me is that it takes giving up what is comfortable to find those that know who you are and what you are about. Every time I see this movie it brings me back to when I was young and reminds me to follow my own strength.

Summary: An Unforgettable Timeless Classic!
Review: I have seen this movie countless times since I was a little girl, and it has never ceased to amaze me. I have also read the book, and the movie follows it quite well. The music is spectacular, and sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. It is the story of a unicorn who is in search of the other unicorns, to find out what happened to them. Along the way she encounters both friends and enemies, and disguises herself as human to get past the Red Bull and free the other unicorns. it is an enchanting tale, one both children and adults are sure to fall in love with! I never get tired of it!

Summary: A Beautiful Film
Review: Those unaccustomed to anime may find the style unfamiliar and odd at first - but trust me, this is a well-crafted piece of art and a wonderful story. I have never seen unicorns as hauntingly beautiful as are represented here. Similar in tone to the Princess Bride, it is a humorous, lovingly told tale of adventure, loss, and a quest for the things most important in life (whatever that may be for you.)I *highly* recommend this film- buy it for your "kids" if you need an excuse ;-)

Summary: Absolutely magical.
Review: This movie really does the book justice, which makes sense since Peter S. Beagle adapted the script from the novel himself. The voices fit their characters perfectly, and the animation is wonderful. The opening sequence with the unicorn tapestry is especially nice. And the soundtrack with songs by America can be stuck in your head for days. Overall, a fantastic magical movie. Perfect for any age.

Summary: Five stars or more
Review: This is an excellent movie for everyone. I first saw it in highschool and was enchanted then and am just as so now. It has beautiful music, great acting, and is funny and serious. When I feel down in this ugly hum drum world of mondainity I pop This wonderful fantasy in the VCR and escape for a while. A good intriguing story. Rankin and Bass are always good. The animation/drawing to some may not seem the best but it is appropriate for this fantasy and is very pretty. A good fantasy anime for the whole family.

Summary: Magnificently Magical: A Daring, Unforgettable Story
Review: There aren't enough superlatives one can use in describing the animated version of Peter S. Beagle's contemporary classic, The Last Unicorn. For those who long for a reminder of what it truly means to dream, to explore, to search for oneself in a resticted reality, this film has all the trappings to set your imagination on a journey it will never forget. The film tells the story of a unicorn, and pays respect to that most wonderous of creatures, but the film is in actuality an homage to those who love mythology, those who refuse to be pigeon-holed and accept the mundane qualities of the reality which surrounds them. The script is flawless (only one major part of the story is omitted in the animated retelling), the voice performances flawless (especially Mia Farrow's as the Unicorn) and the songs by America fit the soft, gentle, pensive mood of the film perfectly. If you seek nothing more than a truly great film about one of the most beloved themes of all time, this film should not be missed under any circumstance. One of the best movies ever made, animated or otherwise, ranking right up there with Pinocchio and Beauty and the Beast.

Summary: Utterly Disturbing
Review: The Last Unicorn is, regretfully, profoundly disturbing for the balance of its length. The plot is horrifying for a young person -- it is, in reality, a bizzare, confusing, animated nightmare. And, watching the animation is a headache-inducing experience. A child under 10 expecting a Disney-esque fairy tale about unicorns will be in for an extremely rude awakening. The "insights" in the film regarding the human condition, such as they are, will be utterly lost on a young person.

Summary: TERRIBLE COPY
Review: Just wanted to say that I love this movie. It's a wonderful show with great music. Unfortunatly, this version of movie has been recorded terribly. The music has been recored louder than the voice track, so half the time you can't hear what they are saying. I know it's this particular copy because I've bought 3 copies from 3 differant places and they are all the same (loud music/quiet voice track). The earilier copies are better. Just so everyone knows.

Summary: An Ageless Film
Review: I first saw this amazing movie about seven years ago on TV and had to have it. Through the years I have grown, matured, and have moved off to colllege, but still find this to be one of the best stories I have had the pleasure to watch. The morals presented along with the well developed story line make even a student of theatre appreciate the basic root of entertainment that The Last Unicorn has to offer. If you ever need to just sit back, unwind, and let go of reality for a world of fantasy for a little while, The Last Unicorn will indeed make you smile.
