"It’s a beautiful animated film, but one of the most depressing movies, that I remember seeing. And now I love The Last Unicorn, more than I did the first time I saw it."

"14.2. It's a classic fairy tale from the dark period of animation. I've seen this one at least million times, but it's still mostly fine except for the ugly Rankin/Bass character designs, which I absolutely hate. They never got this thing done right, they all look like crap to me."

"Sigh. As a kid, this film depressed me to no end. Still does. The animation is beautiful, the story, I okay, I guess. The music, also not that bad.

Bring lots of Kleenex, with you if you hope to make it though, a viewing of the movie."

“I didn’t grow up with The Last Unicorn, so this was actually an entirely fresh viewing experience for me. I knew nothing about it going in, and I was pleasantly surprised by it all. Not everything works, and some of it hampers or outright harms the overall vibrancy and coherence of the tone, but there’s enough good stuff here for me to understand the devotees of this cult classic.   It contains the classical structure of a “questing narrative” so baked into fantasy literature and fairy tales that it’s nearly impossible to think of a major property that doesn’t include some form of this. In fact, The Last Unicorn is best when it merely observes this quest in a quiet pace and we linger on the images and absorb the elegiac emotionality radiating from its main character.   E” read more
