a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

As popular as unicorns are, it's strange that there aren't more movies about them. This is probably the most famous unicorn movie. I love unicorns! I'm probably expressing some bias when liking this movie simply because of how much I love them. This is still quite a solid film with good writing. I love how during the middle of the film, they do this completely different thing.They turn the unicorn into a human! As a human, a prince falls in love with her, but it's complicated because she's well, a unicorn. It seems as though she's actually going to stay as a human at the end of the movie, but ends up going back to being a unicorn. The prince didn't get the girl he wanted, but I really felt what they did was unique and mature. The unicorn is beautifully drawn and such a likeable character. ***

I've heard of this movie every now and again, and I've only ever heard good things about it. I read the graphic novel, and it was fantastic, so it only made sense to check out the movie. I was disappointed, to put it simply.Over the course of the opening credits, I got a bit excited to see so many big names: Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Christopher Lee, and Jeff Bridges! But the ear-bleedingly bad 80's music started playing and my expectations lowered significantly. As soon as the first moving character came on the screen, they lowered even more.The animation is just awful. I know it's an older film, but Disney's oldest movies still look better than this! The characters move strangely, and their lips don't sync with their voices very well. The best animated character was the Red Bull, and even that wasn't very impressive. The story is interesting in of itself, but I don't think it was executed in the best way. The dialogue was hammy and awkward, once again making old Disney animations look superior in comparison. The big name actors didn't seem all that enthusiastic about delivering their lines, not that it mattered because the characters were pretty boring to begin with. Even Christopher Lee, with his wonderful villainous and menacing voice, seemed to be half-assing it. I suppose there was some kind of message or point to this whole story, but I'm not entirely sure what it was.I've read the graphic novel (which was written years after this film), and it made a lot more sense. The art was also better. I was very surprised to find that this movie had so much praise on this site, until I realized that 90 percent of those reviews were written by people riding on a nostalgia high. I guess I don't feel anything from The Last Unicorn because I didn't first watch it when I was 4.Should I recommend it or not? I don't know. I'll have to watch this film again, because I need to find something good about it. I wasn't ready to give it a 1 out of 10, because I didn't feel angry or betrayed after watching it. Just confused.Go watch it if you like childish fairy tales and unicorns, and if you don't mind awful cheesy 80's pop.

I haven't read the novel by Peter S. Beagle so this is me reviewing the movie on its own.1. The Artwork is really good in this movie. This looks like the artwork you would see in a children's fantasy book. The unicorn looks beautiful and the red bull looks fearsome. When you can combine pretty and gruesome you have some great talent.2. The songs you're either going to love or hate but personally I enjoyed the songs. They're not Disney good songs but they still are enjoyable. Accept the couple song. I didn't like the male singing voice it sounded really off.3. The characters are okay. I liked the magician and Molly. I thought they were very enjoyable characters. The villain by Christopher Lee is portrayed pretty well. I like how he can't find happiness and his determination to find it was pretty evil. Love it. The unicorn is okay. She has a goal which gives her a reason to begin this movie but her character itself is pretty bland. The prince is pretty boring. Not Sleeping Beauty Prince boring but still not very interesting.4. The romance in this doesn't work. You could have wrote out the romance in this story and it wouldn't have affected anything. The Prince and Amalthea have no chemistry. They hardly talk and one terrible love song later they end up together. Plus how could they be together? She's a unicorn and should have taken that into consideration before dating him.5. This is a little bit of a nitpick but it's worth mentioning that I question this film being PG. If you've seen the movie you would know but some stuff in there like the bit of nudity or the harpy made me question the rating a bit. Plus there is a bit of cursing so if your a parent who worries over stuff like that then this movie might not be for you. So maybe your older kids should watch it.Overall it's not a bad kids movie but it does have some flaws that set it apart from being great. If you're curious enough you should watch it. If you wouldn't care to watch fantasy characters than you should skip it.

I loved this film. It is, at its essence, the story of someone who thought she knew her place in the world, went beyond her normal boundaries and discovered something new about herself.The difference is that the someone is a unicorn. Even though I saw this movie in my youth, it still resonates not only with me, but even with children today because it is about the human condition. The voice work is powerful and touching. The animation is clearly inspired by tapestries, relying more on the flatness of tapestries than attempting to create a true 3 dimensional reality. And yet it works. The only weak point in this movie is some of the singing. Mia Farrow and Jeff Bridges do not have singing careers for a reason. The story, though, is what stands out the most about this movie. The bittersweet ending is so real and so touching because we have all known that feeling after a life changing event of returning home to find that though it has not changed, we have and so our life can never be the same. But most importantly, watch it for yourself and decide.
