Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 1.0
Better than the last DVD....But it could be improved.
I am not a fan of "bad" language, but why was this movied edited? So it could get a G rating? Well, guess what Lionsgate?... The word D--- can still be heard in two places even though the more explicit enunciations have been removed - which makes the censorship seem even more ridiculous. Why do people keep trying to make this a kids movie? I assume because its a cartoon about a unicorn, it has to be acceptable for little kids. This movie never was a young child's movie! I admit that this DVD release was better than the previous one, but we still need an unedited version! I think there should be a DVD edition similar to the treatment that Labyrinth and Dark Crystal got - in the nice non-plastic case, with art printed on DVD case sized cards (perhaps the unicorn art from Haggard's Castle, or the Unicorn tapestry art from the opening of the movie?). The above mentioned got all of these things, and they were not edited for being a bit dark - that's what these movies are! Just because there are unicorns or goblin muppets does not mean that the movie should be intended for kids and therefore censored to make it "appropriate." Please, a new edition is needed here, but for heavensake, give it to a production company that understands that this is a fantasy film, and not a Disney cartoon.
