    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sir Christopher Lee (King Haggard) showed up for the recording sessions armed with his own copy of the book, with several places marked to indicate things that must not, in his opinion, be omitted. This is similar to his behavior on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and its sequels in which he also showed up on set with his copy of the books, and was often a stickler for exact fidelity to the novels.
    • Goofs
      The horn that Mommy Fortuna created for the Unicorn glows and was located in front of the Unicorn's authentic horn. However, when when the Unicorn says "hurry!" to Schmendrick as he is unlocking her cage, we see that her authentic horn, not Mommy Fortuna's horn, is the one that's glowing.
    • Quotes

      Schmendrick the Magician: She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.

    • Alternate versions
      Because Lionsgate used the German video master for the 2007 25th Anniversary Edition DVD, not only does the film run at a 5% faster speed, but the German title appears under the English title at the start. Much of the swear words were also edited out in this release.

    One of the best Fantasy movies of all time.
    The Last Unicorn, a unforgettable 1982 Animation Fantasy classic that enchanted fans of Fantasy and animation since it first came out. It is about a lonely Unicorn who thinks she is the last of her kind and sets out on a quest to find them throughout the dangerous yet magical world that she has never seen before, along the way she meets a cast of colorful characters including my favorite " Schmendrick The Magician", who is a goofy-but-lovable magician that magically transforms Unicorn into a Beautiful Human maiden to fool the bad guys.

    This is indeed a beautiful, fabulous and touching animated movie that is one of my faves. It's both appealing to children and their parents, highly recommended.

    FAQ8

    • I always thought that Nellie Bellflower did the voice of The Tree. But no, years later I found out it was Paul Frees. However, Nellie's name can be seen on the ending credits of the movie. However, now on IMDb it says that her character's scenes were deleted. Who was her character supposed to be in the movie?
    • Why does the Unicorn get so upset when referred to as a "mare" or a "horse"?
    • Why does the Butterfly make references to contemporary pop culture when the film is implied to be set in a Medieval time period?
