Oh the nostalgia
This movie was the best thing that came out of my very powerful unicorn obsession that I had as a kid. I like to sometimes review movies and shows I used to love when I was little, and laugh at how corny they were and wonder how I could have possibly liked it when I was that young. However, this isn't the case with The Last Unicorn, at all. I watched it for the first time last night in over elven years, and I was shocked at how it had such a powerful effect on me. It's a such a haunting story and I personally found a lot of symbolism in it. The love story is awesome, (the singing, not so much) and the characters are flawed, easy to like people. Most of all, I think the music peformed by America, (who is definitely not of my generation) is exceptional and adds so much to the movie. There are some parts that could be considered questionable for small children, but hey I watched this movie all throughout my childhood, and I can assure you, I turned out just fine. Overall, this a very powerful, beautiful movie, and if you watch it once it will probably haunt you for the rest of your life. (in a good way!)
