Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 2.0
Amazing Movie Poor Presentation.
The Last Unicorn is one of the all time great animated classics. The reason my review for it is so poor then is because of how the production company has chosen to release it. The Last Unicorn was released into theaters in 1980 and thus anyone who saw it originally is far older than this dvd is targeted at. Using cheap re-release artwork that PALES in comparison to the amazing animation of the movie and placing it in a purple box really bumps down the quality of this release. Every other country uses beautiful original poster artwork, what happened in the US! As well this release is in standard which means the sides of the animation have been cut off because this film was originally in wide screen. I got the imported German version that is in wide screen and has special features and I tell you it is incredible. Did you know that there is a shot of Mommy Fortune dead after she is attacked by the Harpies? This shot is edited out in the standard transfer. I will buy this dvd but I wish the production company would have taken this release more seriously.
