Product: The Last Unicorn [VHS] (1982)
Rating: 5.0
A work of fiction conveys truths of the heart
The Last Unicorn is a fairy tale in the best sense of the term -- an exploration of archetypes of human existence. Featuring the voices of such talents as Angela Landsbury and Mia Farro, this film takes you on a journey "to find others like me." It is a tale of innocence lost and found, of the metaphysical realities of truth and self. Deep and rich, it reveals more -- and raised more questions -- with each viewing. Children will love the amusing characters. Adults will love the underlying story, and dialogue that leaves you laughing because it captures a truth you'd perhaps never thought of. "No cat out of its first fur was ever decieved by appearances, unlike human beings, who seem to enjoy it." The songs, flawlessly provided by America, underscore and deepen the threads of immortality, pain, and redemption. This is one movie for everyone.
