Product: The Last Unicorn (1982)
Rating: 5.0
my childhood favorite
I haven't seen this movie in over 15 years. It is the first movie I ever remember watching, and I remember crying throughout it, which is an unusual response to a movie for a child. I was in preschool at the time, I could not have been more than 4 or 5 years old, but I still remember the basic plot. For several years now, I have been trying to find a copy of this movie, or find someone else who remembers it, because I want to see it again. Unfortunately, the video I watched was Beta, which is completely obsolete now, so I don't know where to find a VHS of it. I might buy one, because this movie strikes a very special chord with me. Maybe if I get my hands on a copy of it and start watching, I will be taken back to the weekday afternoon in 1986 when I went to my friend Katie's house and we watched this movie. I'm not expecting timetravel, but the fact that so many years later I can still remember the main theme song really speaks to the power of this movie and the effect it has on children, and sensitive individuals at any age.
