The Last Unicorn

Rating:
Summary: Follows the book reasonably well
Review: I love this movie. I'm a total addict of it and the book it is based on of the same title. I could quote a dozen lines that I love, but the one that usually sticks out the most is right in the beginning. "Stay where you are, poor beast. This is no world for you." It's such an elegant and sad way of saying that the magic has seemed to have left the world, and that there is no more place for unicorns. It nearly makes me cry even after seeing it countless times. The Last Unicorn is suitable for all except perhaps the very smallest children due to the scariness of the Red Bull. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Summary: A Quest Every Child Should Take Before Imagination Is Lost.
Review: This is one of the first movies I saw as a child, and the one I most vividly remember. Even though I am all grown up now, fragments of this beautiful film--especially the vision of the lovely Lady Amalthea--have lived in the back of my mind the whole time. Seeing this film again nearly 17 years later was like being swept back in time. When all the lost unicorns are brought back from the sea on the crest of a wave, and when the Last Unicorn, at the end of her quest, returns to the forest she left, and the credits start to roll, and the music plays, and the scenery turns into that medieval tapestry, I was crying like I was 5 again. My only complaint was the picture on the video box. It looks cheap & corny and really doesn't capture the wealth of beauty, fantasy, and imagination that's locked inside.

Summary: Enchanting and Beautiful
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. When I was really little, my friend had this and we always watched it. When she moved away, she gave it to me. I still have it (I'm 13 now). It's so incredible!! This isn't really a little kid movie, because the storyline is mature for little kids to follow. I love how they make it with the Japanese anime style of animation. Especially when the unicorn turns human, she is so gorgeous. And the music is so touching. I love it also because I love unicorns. If you're an adult, this will bring back childhood memories for you.

Summary: My Childhood Classic
Review: The songs are far from forgettable. I searched for this movie for years before I was able to find it again. The lyrics stay in your head and the story of the graceful unicorn (Mia Farrow) is impossible to forget. When she finds out that she may be the last of her kind, the unicorn goes in search of them; and in the process realizes many truth about mankind: how they've forgotten her kind, how they may be selfish, and giving; as well as losing her "innocence" in being turned into a mortal human being. The ending is unforgettable and as for the animation it was purposely done in the old Japanese-anime style for effect. Peter S. Beagle preserved the transition from written word to the silver screen when he did the screenplay for this classic. Hopefully we will not be so foolish as to lose this movie and keep the faith alive in the generations to come... >^..^< (16 yrs)

Summary: Childhood remembered
Review: Watching The Last Unicorn makes a person remember when they were young, and instantly drags them off to fairy land, where unicorns exist, balls float around magicians, and skulls talk. This movie should be ranked one of the top 10 movies for famlies and fantasy lovers alike.

Summary: My all time favorite childhood movie.
Review: The Last Unicorn has and always will be my favorite cartoon/movie. It epitomizes the true meaning of Fantasy (without the elves, dwarves and dragons). The unicorns, magicians and sorceresses are all part of the fantasy world in which some people like to dream. I have always been a lover of unicorns and dragons. Though they may be myth it never hurts to use your imagination and go beyong what you see in front of you. The animation in this movie is very Japanese (for those who did not know) and that is one of the many reasons it continues to be one of my favorite movies. This is a definite keeper. If you never got the chance to watch this as a child I recommend you do so now, its never too late. If you have seen the Last Unicorn, I would suggest you buy it for your own collection as it has been a treasure in mine.
