Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 4.0
A beautiful treament of a beautiful film!
This Anniversary Edition of "The Last Unicorn" is, to a very large extent, just about everything a fan could hope for. The audio and video are crisp and clear, and the colors are magnificently vivid. Also, for the first time in the USA since its theatrical run, "The Last Unicorn" can be viewed in widescreen thanks to letterbox technology. The only real problem with this treatment of "The Last Unicorn" is a tiny bit of censoring (the removal of one or two instances of mild language that were in the original release). This annoys me on principle but generally goes unnoticed while one watches the film.The story itself is as wonderful as ever, and the Rankin-Bass animation and star-studded cast have lost none of their power. If you are a fan of the book or if you have fallen in love with previous releases of this film you will find this to be a very wise purchase. If, on the other hand, you are new to "The Last Unicorn," then this is a marvelous way to introduce yourself to the classic.
