Last Unicorn

Pros: A fine animated story for young and old.

Cons: One must be willing to look through the eyes of a child once again.

The Bottom Line: I recommend you share this movie with your children. Adults will like it too, and it is worth a second look for the themes which lie deep within it.

Review: One of the real triumphs of animated film, The Last Unicorn, was released back in the early 1980s. It was the children’s movie made from Peter S. Beagle’s 1968 book The Last Unicorn, which has sold more than five million copies ...

Pros: Wonderful animation, good music, and a poignant and magical tale.

Cons: None, even the sad parts are appropriate to the story!

The Bottom Line: One of the greatest tales about unicorns in general and a masterwork of fantasy!

Review: Two huntsman enter a forest that is never touched by winter and begin talking about the belief that these woods belong to a unicorn, and unicorns in general. Only their horses know that a real unicorn follows them and is listening with keen interest in...

Pros: Wonderful music, great movie

Cons: I don't own it... yet.

The Bottom Line: The romantic fantasy that we grew up with ... and if you didn't you need to run out and rent it today!!!

Review: Seeing this title sure brought back memories. It came out in a time when unicorns were every young girl's fantasy and catching and actually owning one was their dream.

I not only watched this movie over and over as a child, I tape recorded off...

Pros: Everything: animation (even if it's vintage), music, storyline, actors

Cons: Taking out the two "damn"s that make their appearances--come on, people!

The Bottom Line: The Last Unicorn is an original, beautiful and haunting movie.

Review: Being born in 1985, this movie The Last Unicorn had been out for a few years before I had the opportunity to see it. Even at the age of 3 onward it was my favorite film, to the extent the local movie rental store told my mother she'd give it to me for ...

Pros: Excellent artistry, a profound story and a talented roster of celebrity voices

Cons: Film's decidedly moody tone might be too depressing for young children; it's not on DVD!

The Bottom Line: Truly a timeless classic, THE LAST UNICORN is a film to be enjoyed by the entire family and shared with future generations to come.

Review: In my youth, I watched a lot of television. I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but I, like many of the kids of my generation (yes, the dreaded "X"), was pretty much glued to the TV set for all of my formative years.

Pros: Hauntingly beautiful timeless story.

Cons: Terrible DVD, Mia Farrow's singing voice.

The Bottom Line: A haunting and beautiful fantasy that really sticks with you.

Review: When I was a young child, I was obsessed with horses. I even saved my money at ten years old to pay for riding camp. Unicorns, though a tad girly, were by extension horses to me, and if a video had a picture of one on its cover, it was all it took to get ...

Pros: beautiful tale, score, and story

Cons: hard to find to rent or buy

Review: Once Upon A Time...

When I was a little girl, it was a weekly tradition to rent a movie. Since it was just me and my two older sisters, who all had relatively the same taste, it was never a problem to agree on a movie. One of the...

Pros: Great music, good animation, wonderful characters, follows the book well.

Cons: None

Review: This was one of the first books I ever read, struggling through it at a young age. Then I saw the movie version at the video store. I rented it with little hope that it would be as good as the book. Rarely are the movies as good as the books, in my...

Pros: Classic quality

Cons: Has brief nudity

Review: The Last Unicorn is probably the first animated movie I ever owned or saw as a child. The main character, a unicorn, is on a quest to find other unicorns which seem to have vanished.

One of the better features of this movie is its...

Pros: lovely animation, story, acting

Cons: not for little kids

Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have had it in my video collection since I was a child. Though, I am sure my parents never bothered to watch it with me as it is not appropriate for small children. There are portions of the movie that...
