Rating: - A WONDERFULL TALE!
I was watching the TV one day flicking through the channels when I chanced upon this wonderful tale of a beautiful unicorn searching for others of her kind, I shared her journey of joy, sorrow and confusion, meeting an assortment of wonderful characters, surprisingly not all are outright evil, only sad creatures that lost something along the way, it says alot to the creator of this lovely story that your able to feel pity and sadness towards the 'nasty' characters of this tale. Children of all ages (plenty of Adults too!) will enjoy this movie, it comes highly recommended, (please keep tissues handy Im sure your going to need it! ) so please try and get your hands on a copy, the storytelling is as beautiful as its songs, see it through your childs eyes, and appreciate its beauty.

I first watched The Last Unicorn when I was about 5 years old. When I turned 15, I still remembered this movie without watching it for many years. Afterwards I started my own collection of The Last Unicorn. It touched my heart as a child and now at age 17, it is still my favourite movie. It's that kind of movie that leave good morals and values in all it's viewers. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, children and adults. The Last Unicorn is about a courageous unicorn that goes on a journey to find her lost brothers and sisters. She meets many memorable characters, such as Shmendrick the magician, Molly Grue, Prince Lir to name a few. It is a classic!! As mentioned in other views, there are a FEW words such as damn used in this movie. I personally do not find these words offensive, but just to let you know, in case you do. I didn't ever realize that they were even there, they are that unnoticable. I highly suggest that everone at least view this movie once, although hopefully many more times. Enjoy!!!

Loved this film when I was a kid, loved it again as a young adult. I am now the proud owner of a brand new copy. Along with Flight of Dragons, the Last Unicorn has got to be one of the most underappreciated animated masterpieces ever (but not for much longer, I hope). While Flight of Dragons was more intellectual, the Last Unicorn was more poignant and emotional. A wonderful fairy tale with heart and soul for people of all ages. The animation is simple yet graceful and elegant, filled with rich beautiful basic colors. It has a surreal and dreamlike quality (even more so than Flight of Dragons). The character designs for the most part were excellent, particularly Lady Amalthea whose exotic beauty is breathtaking. I especially love the way her long beautiful, willowy hair flows in the wind... The music is quite memorable, although the singing voices for Lady Amalthea and Prince Lir were a bit warbly at times (though the songs themselves were rather nice). The background music fits and complements the scenes perfectly. And who can ever forget the voice acting. God, such absolute pure star quality!!! You can almost imagine as if these were real live flesh and blood people (especially Molly Grue). The story is one of the most original I have ever come across. Based on the classic novel by Peter S. Beagle (who also did the screenplay), a lonely immortal unicorn goes out in search for others of her kind, meets some very interesting humans (some good, some bad, and some in between) along the way. She is later unwittingly given a taste of mortality and love in a way she could have never imagined when she is accidently transformed into a beautiful human maiden by a bungling magician. This is a fairy tale with dramatic and emotional depth of Shakespearean proportions. Deeply moving, moody, and atmosperic. They just don't make such powerful, thoughtful stuff like this anymore. Now that they are in the process of developing a live action version of this film with several of the original voice actors participating in it (some even reprising their roles), it's more important than ever to own this beautiful masterpiece for your collection. I give the Last Unicorn my highest recommendation.
