When I was really little, "The Last Unicorn" was one of those movies that my sisters and I loved to watch over and over. I went for years without seeing it, but after reading the fantasy novel of the same name, I decided to revisit it.
Though it didn't have quite the same affect on me, I still enjoyed it. In fact on closer examination, "The Last Unicorn" is built upon a foundation of sadness and bittersweet reflection(as much of the best fantasy is).I think this is one of the reasons why so many people love this feature as much as they do.
The animation is dated and a bit scratchy and I agree with a previous comment that the two moments later in the movie where the characters burst into song break the tone of the story(all the other songs,by America, are in the background and fit the mood perfectly). All in all, I felt satisfied revisiting "The Last Unicorn".
