The Last Unicorn [DVD] [2018]

I won't give away my age but when I spotted this on DVD it was an instant must have purchase as this had been one of my favourite films growing up. My Nan still has this film on video from when she bought it for me many years ago but as video players are pretty much obsolete nowadays and neither myself nor any friends and family own one, the video has sat unloved (but not fogotten!) on my Nan's video shelf (which she refuses to throw the contents of it away) for many years.I was actually browsing for a different DVD for my son when this came up in the "customers who purchased this also purchased..." list and as I said above it was an instant add to basket and purchase. My son is absolutely addicted to the DVD at the moment and has this on almost every morning before breakfast. It is so nice and very strange to see my own son getting so much enjoyment out of a film that I thought I'd never watch again let alone the 50 or so times I've now watched it with him!Surprisingly the film quality is actually really good and even the sound and music has been transferred onto DVD okay. The story is the same and tells of The Last Unicorn who sets out to find the rest of the Unicorns and what has happened to them. She finds out from a funny bird that the Unicorns have been taken by the Red Bull and then later that the Red Bull is being commanded by King Haggard. After being captured by a witch and a run in with a Harpy she meets up with the magician Smendrick who vows to help her. Other characters include Prince Lear, Molly and a drunk skeleton (I think the mention of the skeleton may jog memories who watched this when they were young).Like other reviewers have said, I knew the songs and the words to them within a few seconds of hearing them again and I can't believe all the parts and music I had forgotten. A real but wonderful blast to the past and still an enjoyable film even for the future generations. If you loved this film when you were a child then you'll fall in love with it all over again.

Such a good film, one of my favourites as a kid!

Got it for my daughter she loves it

okay movie, great quality

Words can't express how much I love this story. Loved it as a child, when it was just a beautiful fantasy story about hope and the power of love. Loved it even more when I re-visited it as an adult and now I'm taking some very differenty things from it. These days, it reads more like a quest for authenticity/truth, the power of courage versus fear, all in a wider senser and in the narrower context of art and the artist (some lines will hit a creative person or artist right in the heart). It even has a spiritual level - you could read it as the quest of the soul for its true purpose (and again, the power of love) - as the unicorn becomes human, she learns what it means to be human, and this will hit anybody in the heart who's ever wondered why on earth did they incarnate on this weird and wonderful planet. :) I think the true power of a story is measured by how it remains relevant as we grow and mature - anybody, regardless of age or background, will take something from this story, which to me is the mark of true greatness. A wonderful story, and a film I keep giving as a present to anybody who'll have it.

Arrived in great time. Great film

Nice film, very innocent, my ten year old Son really enjoyed it, he loved the magician trying to do his tricks. The story is about a Unicorn that overhears Robin Hood say she is the last of her kind, so needing to know if this is true, she leaves the forrest that has been her safe place for so long and goes in search of the Red Bull, who she has heard from a butterfly, has sent all the other Unicorns to the ends of the earth. She gets captured by a Witch on the way, makes friends with a magician who joins her on her quest, and plenty more surprises, you will have to watch the film for your self or I will spoil it.

THIS IS LIKE THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS / MAGIN SWORD / BLACK COULDERON - BUT JUST NOT AS LOVELY - BOUGHT FOR MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS LOOKS VERY GIRLY FILM - BUT SHE WAS SCARED BY THE STYLE OF DRAWING AND THE INITIAL MACABRE - BUT I THINK SHE WILL LIKE IT WHEN SHE IS 6+ SO WILL SAVE IT - OR MAYBE BUY THE BOOK AS THE STORY SEEMS OK.

Some people don't like it but almost everyone loves the graphics and beautiful art. A classic I can't wait to show my baby when they're born.

Prompt delivery and the quality is as good as a Blu-ray can be.

The Last Unicorn (El Último Unicornio) es una película de los 80s muy peculiar: Una producción americana, animada en Japón y con talentos de voz como Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin y Christopher Lee, poco común para su época en animación. De la mano de Shout Factory, llega esta RE-edición en Blu-ray (ya había salido en 2010 por Lionsgate) presentando una impresionante restauración en 2K con audio en 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Las películas animadas a mano en Blu-ray casi siempre se ven bien, con muchísimos detalles y texturas y con sus fondos pintados a mano luciéndose y esta película no es la excepción.No tiene el idioma español. Es una pena que ni siquiera le agregaron los subtítulos al español.Extras:Puedo destacar:-The Story Of The Last Unicorn: No es un detrás de escenas sino una serie de entrevistas con el autor de la novela Peter S. Beagle, algunos productores y junto a arte conceptual y clips de la película. Es bastante extenso e interesante relatando la historia de la producción y en cierta forma el impacto que ha tenido la película.-Highlights of The Last Unicorn Worlwide Screening Tour: Podría decirse que es una continuación del extra anterior. Tiene clips de cuando se reestrenó la película y asistió Peter S. Beagle a un Q&A con la audiencia.También incluye storyboards y un audiocomentario, los cuales no he checado.La película, su imagen y sonido y su más de 1 hora de extras, la hacen una edición que vale la pena si te gusta esta película (eso sí, con el punto negativo de que solo está en inglés)

Schöner klassischer Trickfilm mit guter Story! Ein muß
