Rating: 5.0
From the pages of my MUST HAVE DVD list...
I love this movie. I loved it when I was little, and I still love it. I remember always having my parents rent it for me when we went to the video store, and then taping it off TV for me. You can imagine how devastated I was when some accidently taped over it.I knew when I started collecting DVDs that I simply had to have this movie on DVD, but alas It had not been released. Until now. I got positively giddy when heard it was going to be released on DVD. Waves of nostalgia hit me. I pictured various scenes from the movie and all those childhood senses hit me: Wonder, amazement, empathy, and even sadness. This movie was very powerful.It is so hard to put into words the emotions I feel when watching this film. It is beyond all animated features that have come along since, and I think it has to do with the mystical nature of it: a lone Unicorn searches the world for others of her kind. On the way she meets a witch, a novice magician, an adventurous thief, a handsome young prince, and his father who is the key to the unicorns disapearence. Then of course there is the Red Bull, a powerful bull surround literally in flames.I highly recomend this for people of all ages. And parents should buy this movie for their children. They will love it the way I did and still do. I also highly recommend the book THE LAST UNICORN by Peter S. Beagle, which this movie is based on.
