The Last Unicorn is a 1982 fantasy film produced by Rankin/Bass for ITC Entertainment and animated by Topcraft. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Peter S. Beagle, who also wrote the film's screenplay. The Last Unicorn is about a unicorn who, upon learning that she is the last unicorn in the world, goes on a quest to find out what has happened to the others of her kind.

The film features the voices of Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Tammy Grimes, Angela Lansbury, Jeff Bridges, and Christopher Lee. The musical score and the songs were composed and arranged by Jimmy Webb, and performed by the group America with additional vocals provided by Lucy Mitchell. The film earned $2,250,000 on its opening weekend and grossed $6,455,330 domestically.

Peter S. Beagle is currently in a public conflict with Granada International, successor to ITC Entertainment, seeking to be paid what he feels he is contractually owed for the film from video and DVD sales, other distribution, and merchandising.

Post Re: The Last Unicorn
Another great blind purchase.

The film has alot going for it, a few bad things, and no great things. Character development being it's weakest point for me. I just never cared much about any of the characters, well, I sorta did for the Harpy for some reason. The animation was nice though, and I enjoyed the story a great deal, and the characters were all colorful and everything, they just lacked something. The score was nice, but the songs.... I sorta liked them, but they just seemed so out of place most of the time.

Good film though.

B+
