![]() Beagle, The Last Unicorn tells us that life isn’t fair, that people are flawed, and that we don’t always get what we want. Based on a brilliant novel - written for adults - by Peter S. But more importantly, the themes that run throughout the film run completely contrary to the “It’ll all be OK” ethos that underscores most kids' movies. ![]() One scene that has been burned onto my brain since childhood is the harpy literally murdering and eating a witch. It wasn’t until I watched the film as a teenager that I realized that The Last Unicorn is really not a movie intended for kids.įor one thing, it’s full of elements that range from the slightly disturbing to the legitimately scary. I thought nothing could possibly be as beautiful as the unicorn in that movie, and didn’t really mind that the bulk of the dialogue flew right over my head. I rented the classic Rankin/Bass animated film from the video store (remember those?) every weekend for about three years straight. I didn't just like it a lot - I seriously loved it. ![]()
