DVD Synopsis

Only one of the mythological creatures escapes the evil King Haggard's (voice by Christopher Lee) plan to eliminate all unicorns from the land in Rankin-Bass's (Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) sophisticated production of The Last Unicorn. In hopes of rescuing her exiled breed, the last unicorn (voice by Mia Farrow) teams up with the kindly, if bumbling wizard Schmendrick the Magician (voice by Alan Arkin), who accompanies her on the far-reaching and treacherous quest to save her kind. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

A distinguished voice cast (including Mia Farrow and Jeff Bridges) highlights this animated fantasy for the whole family, which has been given a straightforward release on DVD. The Last Unicorn has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The dialogue is in English, with English-language closed captions, but no additional bonus materials or language options. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

My 8th daughter just loves this movie! She insisted we order it! It's beautifully animated, not with your typical Rankin/Bass animation though. It was typical for animation of the 80s, think the Hobbit and Black Cauldron. Very enjoyable family movie.
