Product: The Last Unicorn (1982)
Rating: 3.0
My Childhood Classic
The songs are far from forgettable. I searched for this movie for years before I was able to find it again. The lyrics stay in your head and the story of the graceful unicorn (Mia Farrow) is impossible to forget. When she finds out that she may be the last of her kind, the unicorn goes in search of them; and in the process realizes many truth about mankind: how they've forgotten her kind, how they may be selfish, and giving; as well as losing her "innocence" in being turned into a mortal human being. The ending is unforgettable and as for the animation it was purposely done in the old Japanese-anime style for effect. Peter S. Beagle preserved the transition from written word to the silver screen when he did the screenplay for this classic. Hopefully we will not be so foolish as to lose this movie and keep the faith alive in the generations to come... >^..^< (16 yrs)
