Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 2.0
No offense!
Despite the enthusiastic comments of the artists involved (watch the making of) and the hardly less enthusiastic reviews on this site this film has a rather banal story line with rather banal dialogue. Moreover the design of the title character (unicorn and girl) looks like a combination of a Barbie doll and your customary anime girlie. Apparently the layouts of the US artists had to be oversimplified by Japanese animators. Though I like the witch and the Red Bull. And then there are the awful songs by folk rock group America which are only topped by the ones sung by the characters themselves. The best thing to mention is the background design which occasionally follows medieval art and reminds you of Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Yes, and I don't mind the sometimes grainy picture quality.
