Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
A Quest Every Child Should Take Before Imagination Is Lost.
This is one of the first movies I saw as a child, and the one I most vividly remember. Even though I am all grown up now, fragments of this beautiful film--especially the vision of the lovely Lady Amalthea--have lived in the back of my mind the whole time. Seeing this film again nearly 17 years later was like being swept back in time. When all the lost unicorns are brought back from the sea on the crest of a wave, and when the Last Unicorn, at the end of her quest, returns to the forest she left, and the credits start to roll, and the music plays, and the scenery turns into that medieval tapestry, I was crying like I was 5 again. My only complaint was the picture on the video box. It looks cheap & corny and really doesn't capture the wealth of beauty, fantasy, and imagination that's locked inside.
