Synopsis: The Last Unicorn (1982)
Synopis: Weary of being alone in the vast forest, unicorn Amalthea (Mia Farrow) begins to wonder if she's the last of her kind. Following a rumor, she joins forces with feeblish wizard Schmendrick (Alan Arkin) and wayward barmaid Molly (Tammy Grimes) to look for the mystical Red Bull, a creature known to hunt and imprison unicorns. In order to walk unnoticed among men, Schmendrick magically transforms Amalthea into a beautiful woman. Together the three embark on a adventurous journey into the dark land of King Haggard, the man rumored to control the Red Bull. Based on Peter Beagle's novel of the same name, THE LAST UNICORN is a bright, colorful tale about love and loss. Farrow loans her fluttering voice indelibly to the lips of the unicorn, and Arkin is spot on playing the spell-casting wizard Schmendrick. The film also features the vocal talents of Jeff Bridges, Christopher Lee, and Angela Lansbury. Complete with an over-the-top soundtrack by the pop band America, THE LAST UNICORN is perhaps the high point of directors Arthur Rankin's and Jules Bass's film career. (They would soon move out of film to produce the two highly successful syndicated television series THUNDERCATS and SILVERHAWKS.)Features: The Last Unicorn (1982)

Cons: Animation technique, plot, and deserving of PG rating
I first saw this movie when I was 10 when it aired on cable. I have always liked this movie and avidly support anyone interested in seeing it to give it a try. However, I feel a more thorough review is needed over the "all 5 star" reviews that have been done.
Firstly, the music is fantastically arranged, composed, and performed. Jimmy Webb composed some of the most memorable music seen in film for The Last Unicorn, ranking in my estimation with Alan Menken, Richard Rodgers, and Richard Sherman as far as musical talent. (note that Alan Menken is the only person alive today to have personally won 8 Academy Awards) America did a fabulous job with the title piece, "The Last Unicorn". It's well done enough that it can carry without the movie, a must in my book to establish good musical styling.
The characters as portrayed in the film are believable and well written. They have flaws and quirks, even among the heroes. The voice casting was nothing short of a "who's who" list of voice character actors. More than the short list that has been described so far, there are many well-known actors in this film. Paul Frees (best known as Boris Badenov from the original "Rocky and His Friends" and Professor Ludwig Von Drake, he is also the "Ghost Host" from Disney ...
