Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
5 stars purely based on story...
I have to start by saying that I saw this movie for the first time as a small child and have never, and will never forget it. It seems silly to say that this movie shaped my life, but it definitely has!! The story is beautiful, and I absolutely recommend the book by Peter Beagle. What a well-written, poetic, heartbreakingly good story. The movie is animated beautifully and the actors did a superb job with the voices, especially Mia Farrow!That said, the DVD version of this movie sucks. I had the VHS copy and lost it, and bought this DVD to replace it. Boy, was I disappointed. Everyone else has pointed out the problems--crappy quality, poor menu options, etc. But, if you've never seen the movie before, and the DVD is your only option, I would recommend overlooking the problems with quality just to see the movie.
