Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 1.0
Biggest Disappointment!
The Last Unicorn is one of my favorite animated films of all time and I have waited years for this movie to be released on DVD. The soundtrack is wonderful too, and I listen to it often. You can imagine how excited I was when I got the Amazon notification that it would finally be available, so the movie itself gets 5 stars but this edition gets 1 star and deserves nothing more. This has to be the absolute worse picture quality I have ever seen on a DVD...heck the VHS copy has to be better than this. The sound quality is terrible too, sounding almost like a record, and there are absolutely no extras. Not to mention that the movie was only released in full screen, but I could have dealt with that had the rest of the DVD been done right. Artisan/FHE did such a shoddy job with this DVD that I will be very careful when picking up anything else from them in the future. I tried to return my copy, but of course since the seal was broken, they could do nothing about it so I resold it online and have ordered a no region copy of the German release, which looks and sounds great! I recommend anyone wanting this movie to consider that for themselves. Maybe Artisan/FHE will take the hint and actually give us some credit by releasing a version of The Last Unicorn worth paying for.
