It's not uncommon for young girls to love unicorns, but I don't know if many can pinpoint the exact moment their obsession began. I can. I was five years old, visiting a great-aunt with my family. As the only kid on the visit, I was bored out of my mind when my mom's cousin asked if I'd like to watch a movie. They had a giant TV for the '90s, and my cousin was a movie fanatic and collected countless things about film. He happened to have a copy of the film and put it on. From the opening scene to the ending credits, I was enraptured.
The story centers around a unicorn discovering her kin have all mysteriously vanished, so she embarks on a noble quest to find them. The journey proves tumultuous, as she is captured, meets friends and foes, and is forced to confront her immortality by facing the dastardly "red bull."

On top of that, the soundtrack's main song was performed by the legendary soft rock band America, and the original score is genuinely so good that it has a spot on my playlist.
The Last Unicorn's Emphatic Cast
“We decided to get the best people we could get,” Jules Bass, one of the movie's directors, said in an interview. “And one thing that’s interesting about it, and this is unique, is that every single person whom we approached to do it said yes immediately.”
Lee was particularly besotted with the role. In his obituary, written by Beagle himself, he noted that Lee jumped at the chance to perform the English and German versions of the animation, and told him he was a huge fan of the book. The two kept in touch over the years, and when Beagle called him on his 90th birthday, he once again declared his love for the book and film in a way only Lee could.
I certainly know if The Last Unicorn is re-animated or remade in any way, I will be first in line with a ticket.
