Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
A Truly Immortal Movie
This is one of the best movies to come out of the 80s, or any decade, for that matter. I don't remember how old I was when I first saw it, only that I've loved it for as long as I can remember. The animation is lovely, if not as grandios as recent Disney fare, and the story is absolutely fantasic! As everyone says, it's deep and poignant, and has wonderfully realistic characters. The voice acting is terrific, very real. Listening to Molly Grue yell at the unicorn ("Where have you been?! Where were you twenty years ago, ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? How dare you come to me now, when I am this!") almost always makes my throat a little tight.This movie also has one of the best sound tracks EVER. I have the CD of the soundtrack, and have listened to it dozens of times without once getting sick of it. It's a good thing I have the CD, or I probably would've killed my tape by now fast-forwarding to the songs! Admittedly, Mia Farrow should not have been allowed to sing "Now that I'm a Woman", and the duet (while one of the most honest love songs I know), doesn't sound all that great (on the CD, they've replaced the actors, so the songs sound waaaaay better!). Buy the movie, by the book, by the CD! I can't wait for the live action movie to come out!!! Pleeeaaassse let this come out on DVD soon!
