Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 4.0
Great movie, bad DVD...
The Last Unicorn is an excellent and touching film, created by the same people who animated The Hobbit. It remained as true as practicable to the book by Peter S Beagle, and is still a delight to watch.However, the first DVD release is rather disappointing. Very little effort was apparently made: the video quality is poor, and the film it was taken from is clearly badly in need of restoration. There are no special features, and the packaging looks babyish--the characters are drawn with little effort at looking true to the film, and the blurb on the back was clearly written by some hack who didn't bother to watch the film.Don't be in too much of a rush to replace your cherished old VHS, if it's still in good shape! Let's hope that they put pit a higher-quality copy in the future.
