Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 2.0
Beware--G rating but there is some mild swearing, sexuality
Unlike many reviewers, I don't have a problem with the quality of the DVD. We thought it was a beautiful animation and the storyline is very captivating. However, I only gave it 2 stars because I feel that the G rating could be very misleading to families with young children. I thought "G" meant for all audiences, but I would say this is more of a "PG":"damn" and "hell" are used several times in The Last Unicorn. There is a scene where the unicorn is transformed into a girl. She is unclothed at first, but her very long hair manages to cover most of her quite well ala Lady Godiva, so this didn't bother me too much. However, there is another scene where a tree transforms into a woman with a nearly bare and overflowing bosom that she presses the magician's face between quite inappropriately. Please know that I am not a prude by any means, but I was shocked to find these things in a "G" rated film. I do try to avoid these types of things with my younger children (6 and 3 year olds). A "PG" rating would have definitely given me a heads up. I hope this information will help the next person with young children make a more informed choice when purchasing. Also, there are some very scary scenes with the Red Bull, but nothing we haven't seen before in Disney films such as Sleeping Beauty. However, I thought I'd mention it, just in case you have a child sensitive to these types of things. All in all, it is a good DVD. My problem with it lies in the "G" rating that it carries.
