A story line that truly deserves the A-list treatment, The Last Unicorn is memorable for its attempts to stay faithful to its origins, the Peter Beagle novel of the same name. The animation is vintage Rankin/Bass, and that's too bad; but there's an undeniable strength in this tale and telling. A unicorn (Mia Farrow)--she believes herself the last--searches for any others of her kind, while avoiding the malevolent Red Bull, the agent believed to have destroyed the rest of the herd. Along the way, she is mistaken, ignored, attacked, and obsessed about, finally finding help from a magician named Schmendrick (Alan Arkin) and a knight named Prince Lir (Jeff Bridges). A haunting film that pays homage to mythology and the people who love it. --Keith Simanton

We were at Stand Up Live a while back and the comic was going on and on about this film during his routine, so of course I had to watch it. It was actually pretty decent and my daughter really enjoyed it. I'm not sure how I missed this early 80's flick. The score was fantastic if you like early 80's music.

My wife loves this movie. I bought her the soundtrack last Christmas.

This movie is right up there with Unico and Ringing Bell in 80's cartoons that severely warped my young developing mind in fantastic ways. Never could watch a Disney animated film again I would be like; Wait where are the demons and death and blood and despair? This is kids stuff! lol

Thanks Dad!
