I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It failed to grab my feelings at too many levels. The only thing I really think was great was the surprisingly beautiful forest landscapes and patchwork montages shown in the beginning of the movie and a couple of the voice actors performances like Christopher Lee and Angela Lansbury. Aside from that it didn't really get to me. The beautiful forest was abandoned pretty quickly and the patchwork did only turn up a few times, so it couldn't save the experience, because the too stilted and awkward character animation and the off-pitch musical numbers sung by the prince and Amalfia/the unicorn really dragged it down. There were some designs like The Red Bull and the unicorn itself which were well done, but the central themes of the movie and the quest the unicorn goes on just isn't consistent in its pacing. It either goes frantically fast or drags itself too slow. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't have to be so. If you like it it's fine, but that did not do the trick for me.

This movie isn't really for youngsters under 12 due to perverse contents, involving profanity, depictions of human breast, animal decapitation, and human deaths. And the MPAA rated this film "G"!? Seriously!? MPAA should have known better by rating it higher, such as PG. It would have been better if it was given a PG-13 since some contents on this movie are way over the heads of little ones because little children don't deserve to watch movies with adult contents.

The Last Unicorn: The Last Unicorn is an animated film adored by many that have an all-star cast and animated by Rankin Bass. It involves a unicorn that when learning she is the last of her kind embarks in a long song-filled journey to find others of her kind all while pursued by the Red Bull (not the sports drink).The Good: The screams of grandma when she pops in the room to see her wards watching the bouncing breasts of a triple-breasted topless harpy (or god help us a well-endowed tree) in this G rated film she picked up for a dollar at Walmart.The Bad: Full disclosure I hated this movie. The animation is sub-par and the songs are insipid. Jeff Bridges and Mia Farrow sing themselves and that seemed to be an error. The story is slow and there are severe tonal shifts throughout. Honestly, it is a hard film to get through.In Conclusion: If you loved this film as a kid more power to you. I certainly have some films I saw at a tender age I doubt would hold up today (I am looking your way, Damnation Alley). Taken as itself away from the veil of nostalgia this is a slow moving film with poor animation, forgettable songs, and half asleep celebrity voice actors.

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.
