Stands the test of time (2007-02-22)

Even though its been over a decade since I first saw this movie, I still love it. Some of the best voice acting and excellent animation allows it to still compete with new shows. And the music! America did a stupendous job with the music, the lyrics fit the movie so well! Another decade down the road, I will still love this movie. Any animation or fantasy fan owe it to themselves to check it out!

A timeless classic, but it isn't for young children (2007-02-09)

Parents beware. Don't let the cover art to this movie fool you. This is not entirely a children's film, but a film for multiple age groups. The reason I stress this is due to the film's tone, dark imagery, anti-climatic ending, and sometimes terrifying creatures. Young children 6 or under are definitely going to have some terrible nightmares, thanks to a specific set of scenes in this movie. While creatures like the Red Bull are less scary than they are awe-inspiring, there are other creatures in the film such as the Harpy that will leave your child in tears.That being said, there are few animated films I can think of that have withstood the test of time better than the Last Unicorn. It's an intelligent movie that doesn't try to insult the viewer's intelligence with corny comic relief or a toothache-inducing happy theme. This is a dark and gritty tale of love, loss, sorrow, redemption, and awakening that focuses on very real, humanistic emotions and themes. You never walk away from the Last Unicorn with a feeling of glee and happiness. That being said, the film is far from depressing, but thought provoking instead. Couple these very deep literary themes with a distinctly unique artistic style, a wonderful soundtrack, and some intensity and action missing from the "play-it-safe" Disney style of animation, and you've got a classic in every sense. It will never disappoint, but amaze. It doesn't matter if you're a young child, an older fellow, or a hard-rocking heavy metal maniac like myself. There is something that we can all relate to in this movie. Just be VERY careful not to let the very little ones watch this! It WILL do them a bit of harm!
