Incredible Fantasy Animation Retains its Glory!
The Last Unicorn, a 1982 animated movie featuring the voices of Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow and Angela Lansbury, is a wonder of gorgeous, luxurious animation and masterful fantasy storytelling using some of the purer elements from the Fantasy genre.When the Unicorn overhears huntsmen in her wood mention that she may be the last of all unicorns, she sets off on a journey to discover the truth. Along the way, she meets a bumbling magician, a strong-willed and opinionated cook, a crazed king with a castle full of crumbling secrets, and a would-be lover who is naive to a fault. Minor characters such as an amorous tree, a one-eyed, peg-legged cat and a drunken skeleton add a delightful element of humor into a story that can often veer into dark and despondent territory.As the story draws to a close, the characters and pieces of the Unicorn's story begin to weave themselves together, leading to an ending that will both fascinate you-and give the Last Unicorn a permanent home in your collection of must-watch movies.
