While no exception, The Last Unicorn is certainly it is one of ...read the complete Last Unicorn movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Daniel Thomas review

There's a great moment that takes place halfway through The Last Unicorn, when Molly Grue, a sharp-tongued woman of middle age, discovers The Unicorn hiding in the forest.

The Digital Bits

The Last Unicorn is a movie that we've wanted on DVD for a very long time. Sadly, as of press time, I haven't had a chance to see this Lion's Gate release, so I can't vouch for whether it's a good showing on disc or a bad one. But I know a lot of people ...read the complete Last Unicorn movie review at The Digital Bits

Film Freak Central

Rankin & Bass' typically sloppy adaptation of Peter S. Beagle's classic The Last Unicorn (adapted for the screen by Beagle himself) is terribly voiced and animated, even by the '70s Bakshi/flash-frozen/Saturday-morning conveyor belt standard.
