*I'm alive* and I still remember & love it!
It wasn't until recently, when jogged into memory by the theme song of 'The Last Unicorn' when the movie came back and hit me in between the eyes. I've seen it since I was seven/eight and it's still a movie -- not just a cartoon -- that lives and survives through all of the turmoil of growing up! I just think of the unicorn running through the grassy meadows in the beginning of the movie, and I immediately want to see it again! The music is beautiful and fits the movie so well -- esp. the intro theme! -- and the animation is very good (the unicorn is the best example of the good anime back then!) The funny parts with the goofy magician Schmerdrick is memorable, as well as being frightened by the first appearance of the Red Bull and then the wonder at seeing the unicorn being changed into the beautiful Lady Almalthea. This is a movie that everyone should see! It sticks with you for your whole life, and still keeps part of you as a child! I want to see it again myself and the theme song is still circling around in my brain...
